We are Dennis and Joan Adams, a retired couple, who
started this ministry in 2002.
In 1998 I bought my first power saw, and I started to learn how to operate power tools. the first thing I made was a 6 inch oak cross and I hung it
on my pegboard in my shop. I said a prayer at that time to ask God to keep me safe in the wood shop.
A couple of years later I looked at the cross hanging there and I thought why not make some crosses.
I had a long learning curve and my first attempts were difficult and not very pretty.
Many people ask if we are still doing this. The answer is YES. God will let me know when it is time to stop.
About the Cross
Second chance Crosses
We started this journey back in 2002. I had no idea how to make a small cross, but through trial and error I learned.
Most of our crosses are made from lumber that has been used and discarded. A Preacher named Bill Evans got my attention and asked
about these crosses and he asked me to make them for his Second chance Ministry. So we started cutting and gluing and sanding and slowly we
made some primitive crosses.
After making over 200,000 crosses, we are still learning , but improving the process.
We believe that if a wooden cross deserves a second chance in life then people do too.
