Tom De Vries started Crossroads Bible Institute in 1984 along with his family members and his circle of friends at church. Crossroads is a Grand Rapids based ministry that offers bible lessons and mentorship to men and woman incarcerated throughout America. We have grown to reach men and woman in other countries as well, through our International Program and are currently working to grow our Spanish Program here in the states. Crossroads envisions a world in which the church answers God's call to remember people who are incarcerated by cultivating Christ-centered relationships through which God transforms lives, prisons and churches throughout the world.
