Our Mission
We believe God can use even the simplest gift to change a life. Every Cords 4 Christ cross is handcrafted with prayer and given with the hope that it opens the door to conversations about Jesus Christ. Our desire is to encourage believers to boldly share their faith and to introduce those who do not yet know Him to the saving love of Jesus.
We believe Jesus died on the cross for our sins, rose again, and offers fogiveness, hope, and eternal life to everyone who places their faith in Him. Every cross we give is a reminder that no one is beyond God's love and that His grace is available to all.
Our crosses have reached people across the United States and our prayer is that God will continue using them here at home and eventually around the world.
Our Story
From Therapy to Ministry
Our journey began as PT for diabetic neuropathy. Looking for a way to alleviate nerve pain and improve dexterity, we discovered a YouTube tutorial making paracord crosses and fell in love with it! We began making crosses for our church family to share with others and before long, those small gifts became a way to spread God's love beyond the walls of our church. What started as a way to heal (in more ways than one) became our ministry. Now, everyday we handcraft crosses with prayer in hopes to bless others.

Testimonies
"While boarding a flight recently, I heard someone behind me say “Where did you get that?” As I moved on down the jetway, I heard the question again, but thought someone was talking to their friend.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to a young man who was asking me the question and pointing to my paracord cross hanging from my backpack purse. He asked where I got it and I said my friend from church made various kinds; some Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Sheriffs/Police.
I told him my friend did it as therapy for his hands and the hobby had turned into a mission. I asked if he wanted one and his face lit up! I happened to have 3 more in my purse and let him pick out the one he wanted. He quickly chose one, we boarded the plane and he thanked me profusely for giving him the beautiful cross.
I know he was truly blessed that day by the love that Matt puts into each cross."

"I've been going to Calvary Chapel Ramona for 4 years now. Matt makes crosses out of paracords. They're very beautifully made. Daily I try to talk to as many people as I can about the love of Jesus Christ Our Savior. I use the crosses for a greeting to break any barrier that they may have about listening to me, about the love our Lord Jesus Christ has for us all. Matt's crosses have opened many hearts to our Lord Jesus."

"I've been blessed to keep these paracord crosses in my shop for anyone who wants one. Thanks to Cords4Christ, every customer who comes through our door sees them, and I've had the privilege of giving them to people from all walks of life - including those in recovery, new believers, longtime Christians, and anyone simply going through a difficult time. What amazed me most is when customers come back just to say thank you for the cross or for the prayers we shared. These simple crosses have opened countless conversations about God's grace, love, mercy, and the hope found in Jesus Christ. I'm thankful to be a small part of what God is doing through them."
