Romania: A Finished Building, A New Beginning
The Tinca Project has crossed the finish line! What was once a construction site is now a fully finished center with classrooms, a kitchen, a chapel, and counseling space. Beyond the Bell, the after-school program now running there, is giving kids in this Roma community homework help, hot meals, and Bible teaching every school day—and this summer, 53 children got to go to camp, many for the only week all year where they got to simply be kids. We’re grateful to stand with Cornel and Karen Bucur as this ministry keeps reaching the next generation!
Guatemala: A New Church Home in Xela
After 17 years of faithful ministry, Jeff and Nicole Stone have led Calvary Chapel La Esperanza into a new, more central building! Since the move, overall attendance has grown about 30%, with new faces and returning families filling the seats. God’s using this new space not just to grow a congregation, but to restore lives—drawing people back to Himself in ways only He could orchestrate. We’re grateful for His provision and excited for what’s ahead!
Colombia & Venezuela: Responding to Disaster
When back-to-back earthquakes struck Venezuela in June and Colombia in August, Calvary’s mission network moved quickly. We committed $50,000 to relief efforts in Venezuela alongside trusted partners already on the ground and sent $10,000 to Colombia, empowering Calvary Chapel Cartagena to be our hands and feet. Teams have since ministered in shelters, a mobile hospital, and neighborhoods in Cali and Pereira—bringing comfort and hope to families in the middle of unimaginable loss. Please continue praying for those still recovering.
Cuba: Light in the Middle of a Blackout
As Cuba’s power grid continues to fail—with blackouts stretching 18+ hours a day—churches across the Calvary Cuba network are becoming lifelines for their neighbors. Calvary has helped fund solar power systems for churches across the island, enabling them to offer their communities light, charged phones, clean water, and the gospel. Fourteen systems remain to be completed, and we’re trusting God to provide the final $17,250 needed to finish the project. What a privilege to bring light into the darkness, both physically and spiritually!
