Calvary Chapel Iquitos

Hello Everybody,

Here is our May, 2022 update;

This update includes, March, April & May.

April - Church Anniversary

We had our 15 year anniversary for Calvery El Terminal, in April. We went to a recreational center near our church. Where we had our church service, a baptism, and a time to play soccer, volley ball and swimming. Pastor Javier, his wife Karina, and a few of their youth from their outreach in Santa Rosa joined us.

May - Mother's Day

Our Youth Group decorated the church for Mother's Day and invited their mothers and other mother's from the neighborhood. One of the things they made was a picture station. And they cooked lunch for the moms & the rest of us.

March thru April - Church Kitchen Construction

We have have been saving the funds we receive from "At The Cross" a church who has been blessing us for years, and those funds have always gone to repairing our church, and once for a projector, and now towards the building of our church kitchen. The start of a 3 story building project we want to build on the lot next to the church.

Bible College Students

I want to thank those who contributed towards our Bible College students. We were blessed enough to be able to get all 3 of them laptops, simple ones, but they will be able to write reports, do their "Chuck Tracks" prepare Power Point presentations, all the basics on them. A little more came in for them during March so we were able to bring them home for the 3 weeks between semesters.

We would like to bring to your attention their needs for the next semester, they need funds monthly for their personal needs while they are there studying, also winter is starting and they will need some warmer clothes, warm clothes that is never needed here in Iquitos. And of course funds to bring them home for their Christmas break. So if the Lord so leads you, please remember our future leaders. I am including a picture of the 3 students and their names, so you can pray for them.

Thank you And God bless you

Albert

I will be in California this July. I will stop off first in Pennsylvania and visit my daughter & grand-daughters the last week of June. I usually visit the states every other year. I was there in 2018, and I was planning my visit in 2020, but because of the Covid thing, my plans had to be changed. And even in 2021 it wasn't a good time to travel, so I just stayed here in Iquitos. But now I look forward to visiting after almost 4 years, and I hope to see as many of you as possible in July. If you would like me to visit your church, please let me know. God bless you all for your prayers and support all these many years.
