The Crossroad Bible Institute teachers continue to expand their ministry within prison walls. CBI claims the positive change in the lives of the prisoners have been dramatic. CBI offers long term in-depth Biblical correspondence courses geared to disciple Christian inmates in preparation for their release.

Habitat for Humanity, a group that reveals the love of Christ through providing affordable housing globally had announced expansion in their work in Russia, Cambodia, Panama and the Republic of Ireland. They will open their 2003 ministry by beginning renovation work for two families in Russia. Statistics showed more than 72% of the Russian population living in substandard housing. Habitat hopes to build decent homes to those in need in 100 nations by 2005.
