More Believers than Seats!

Our church greets you all with love in our Lord Jesus! We have experienced major changes and transitions. There is more growth on the horizon. Our season has been marked with sending out loved ones, and receiving new believers into our growing family in Christ. The recent two major changes to our ministry team dynamic involved sending brother Andrew* off to join CCBC (Calvary Chapel Bible College) for his first semester at Bible college and sending off our American missionary sister with honor to her home in California after more than 3 years of foundational, administrative and church planting work here with us. ...

Gospel Meetings and Close Encounters

The little fellowship of CC (our country) greets you with much love and thanksgiving. In the month of July, God has graciously used us in many areas far and wide in our region. Seriously, we don’t deserve this lavish love that Jesus keeps pouring out on us, but we can’t keep it to ourselves. Glory to God! I would like to highlight just some of my favorite moments from the ministry this month. I hope that you are encouraged and stirred to more good works in your area of the world through our testimonies and witness. Please keep us in your prayers always! Thank you for taking time to read my stories from CC (my country). ...

God Is Mercifully Using Us Mightily!

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ, June was another jam-packed month of adventures with Jesus! Our God is really an awesome GOD! June was special for me because I was able to visit and attend a training conference at CC training center which is still fairly new. It was good for me to see old friends and make new friends too. My time at CCBC was fun and helped me to be encouraged and equipped. One week under good teaching and much prayer was like fuel for me to come back to my city with fresh vision and strength. ...

God's Word on the Move!

I am really overwhelmed in a good way, with all that God has done in the past two months! So much so, it was difficult for me to be able to sit and write with all that has been happening. At last, time for sharing the joy with you has come! April was filled with such extraordinary blessings and extravagant displays of God’s love for my people. Our Resurrection Sunday celebration at our church touched many hearts, and it was with this incredible service that I wasn’t at all shy to jump into what the Lord was burdening my heart to do in April. ...

God Opens Hearts Among Our Unbelieving Neighbors

Hello Fellow Saints in Christ! We’re so happy to send another monthly update about all the faithfulness of God towards us in our church. We believe, absolutely, that in your prayers there is power partnering with us and God is answering! Jesus is teaching us to love the people right where they are, especially our Hindu neighbors. Neighboring our fellowship hall (a small house rooftop) are many families who oftentimes stop by and sit in on our services. We have been diligent in visiting their homes too and offering prayers over the last few years. Whoever receives us, we let our blessing stand. ...

Following God's Leading and Reaching Out

Dear Fellow Saints, I’m so happy to report that through February we continued to be steadfast in our faith here in our country and we saw God’s love poured out toward us and through us! I would like to share that we continue Wednesdays in the book of Colossians and Sundays in the book of Acts. I personally feel that this methodical teaching plan allows the believers in our fellowship to get God’s full counsel. We hope to get through the whole Bible one day together. ...

God Continues Opening many Doors to Share the Good News!

2018 has already been full of excitement and fruitful ventures of faith for our Calvary Chapel fellowship. January was a very active month with Bible studies, village and urban outreaches, worship services, and lots of Good News. We would love to share some of our highlights with the global body of Christ and ask for some prayers, too! In January, we started the first day of the year with all night praise and prayer. For New Year’s Eve, we gathered to pray into the New Year and celebrate the good things of God. I shared the Word and at midnight we sang praises to Jesus. In our culture, we have the custom as Christians to receive bookmarks with Scriptures and hold fast to God’s promises to us. Therefore, we passed out Bible verses on bookmarks to our fellowship. We focus on the fact that God’s Word is true. ...

Fruitful Home Visits, Increasing Believers

We are now going through the book of Acts every Sunday. Last week we finished the Letter of Paul to the Philippians. God is really doing great things in people’s lives here and they really are getting to know how important the Word of God is! In the month of December, we got to meet many new people and shared the Gospel with them. We did a lot of house visits this past month because people are scared to come to church, because their families don’t allow them. So we are visiting them at their houses. This has resulted in some new people joining with us in Sunday worship service! ...
