Missions Update: Gordon Family 2024
March 27, 2024 • Pastor Dave Gordon
The Gordons have been in Thailand since 2014, planting Calvary Chapel Bangkok. Thailand is a very difficult place to minister where far less than one percent of the population knows Jesus. Theravada Buddhism, idol worship, Animism, have all led the Thais to forget the One True God.
Missions Update: Damron Family 2024
March 20, 2024 • Jake Damron, Raquel Damron
Jake & Raquel Damron, along with their son, Timothy, are serving the Lord in Peru. There, they assist a local church in Lima called Camino De Vida. Discipleship, worship leading, teaching classes in "Casa Garcia" and "Refugio Garcia" (ministry houses for girls and guys who God has freed from addictions), are a few of the areas they serve in on a weekly basis. They also reach out into different pars of Peru through what's called "Servolucion". One of their many "Servolucion" efforts consists of building Christian churches in the jungle, along with digging fresh water wells for each Church in order for them to supply both Living Water of Jesus Christ and the clean drinking water needed for their communities.
