ABOUT OUR FACILITATOR
Hello, my name is Shawn Hayden, and I am the long-standing Facilitator for the Financial Peace University class held at Crossroad’s Newburgh campus. I also have been the General Manager of Eastland Mall for almost 14 years, have been married to my amazing wife for almost 20 years, and have three beautiful daughters (ages 18, 16 and 15).
Since accepting Christ as my Savior 20 years ago, I have been passionate about helping people reduce and even remove the stress from their lives that can stem from personal finances and ultimately inhibit their walk with Christ. Facilitating Financial Peace classes provides a wonderful opportunity to get in front of a number of families and individuals simultaneously and have a significant impact.
Financial Peace University is a nine-week course taught by Dave Ramsey on video. A typical class session will spend the first hour watching the video and the next 30 minutes discussing the material in a small group environment.

ABOUT OUR FACILITATOR
My name is Danny Mitchell. I have been facilitating our Griefshare program for seven years. I wish this group was available when I lost my nine-month-old daughter some 30+ years ago. Thankfully, I did have a Pastor/Counselor who took me under his wing and helped me through my journey of grief. I have felt called to help others as I have been helped during my darkest days. Since facilitating I have also lost my mother and now have an even deeper connection with those coming to our Grief Share group.
I currently work part-time at Old Navy and in Crossroads Christian Church Preschool and Elementary-age Crossroads Kids program.

ABOUT OUR FACILITATOR
My name is Debbie Nichols. My husband and I have been a part of Crossroads since the Fall of 2013. We currently serve in the Welcome Center on Sunday mornings.
I currently work alongside my husband on our farm, and in our crop insurance business. I also care for our three grandchildren several days each month.
I went through 'Journey to Freedom' study in 2006. I was on a mission team in Ukraine when the curriculum was first introduced. I have led this study 3-4 times and have a passion for those who are hurting and broken, as I am one. I believe we need to support and encourage one another through this journey of life God has given us.
I look forward to walking this journey with you.

ABOUT OUR FACILITATOR
I'm Mike Burkdoll, leader of Point Man International Ministries of Newburgh and participant in Support Groups at Crossroads. Point Man is an International Faith-based organization in existence since 1983. I began the Newburgh "Outpost" about 9 years ago. Under the Point Man banner, we also operate "Home Front" for Veteran's families led by my wife Donna, and "Reboot Combat Recovery" led by Adam and Michelle Gamache, also members of Crossroads.
We accept any Veteran into Point Man, but our emphasis is on our Veterans who have been negatively affected by their combat experiences. Our board of directors is led by three members of Crossroads, Dr. Carl Linge, Dan Oates, and Bruce Siebers, and our other leaders are all strong Christian examples and have experienced life in a combat zone and are skilled at transitioning Veterans from combat to home using Christ as a bridge. We are involved in numerous community projects directed towards and supporting these Vets including substantial financial aid for homeless Veterans and serving as mentors for Veterans who find themselves entangled in our local court system (Judge Kiely's Vanderburgh County Veterans Court) among other projects.
Our mission statement on our pointmanofnewburgh.com website states:
Point Man ministries of Newburgh is a safe refuge where veterans, whether they left the military decades ago or have recently returned to civilian life, can turn for help. With support from our members who have "been there", hurting veterans can realize they are not alone. We serve as facilitators by connecting veterans with resources and support within the community.
We believe it is the responsibility of the community, not the government, to transition our warriors home. We offer spiritual healing as an interdenominational conduit to a stronger faith in Jesus Christ. We encourage members to serve others, thereby nurturing their own healing and self-worth.

Hello! I am Donna Burkdoll and I lead the group Home Front. My husband Mike and I have been members of Crossroads for almost 31 years, when Mike felt the call to start Point Man Ministries. I was on board to lead Home Front. Home front is a group of ladies who are also wives, mothers, and widows of veterans. Our mission statement is one of understanding the lives of women that live with a veteran or a member that is deployed. We have a special bond that women who have had no involvement with the military would understand. We are a sisterhood, that strives to put Christ first in our lives and to lift each other up. We are so thankful for the opportunity to meet during Crossroad's Support Group sessions.
