Medical Missionary Dr Craig Waller To Speak Sunday Evening at 6 pm March 26th

2006-03-23T11:36:00.000-08:00

After practicing medicine in Northeast Kansas for 11 years the Lord called us to Guyana, South America. We spent 7 years in Guyana building a church in a remote village which could only be reached by boat. We used medicine to reach many, both at our church and other churches. When we had to leave Guyana we joined Operation Renewed Hope, a worldwide ministry which uses medical clinics to promote the Gospel, plant new churches, and greatly accelerate the growth of mission churches.
We work with missionaries and national pastors of like faith in remote areas of the world. Every effort is planned with the end goal of soul winning and church planting. More information is available on our website at www.operationrenewedhope.org.

Messersmiths Organize New Church In England

2006-03-23T06:30:00.000-08:00

Dear Pastor,

We held the organizational service for Trinity Free Baptist Church on the 29^th of January 2006. The Lord blessed us with 13 people joining the church and becoming charter members. Mike Bell, who was with us from the first service, had been praying nearly 20 years for a fundamental church to be started in Market Harborough. Mike opened the service in prayer thanking God for answering his prayer of many years ago.

We praise the Lord for our attendance steadily going up, the spiritual growth of our people, and for the place which the Lord allows us to rent for services. But most of all for our first adult convert, Carl, who was saved March 12, 2006. After a message from Acts 3:19, Carl did not respond to the invitation but after the service he broke down in tears and said he needed to be saved. One of our men dealt with him and led him to Christ. Please pray for Carl that he will grow in the Lord and that we will see many more come to Jesus Christ.

One of our young ladies, Megan, had been running away from the Lord and her family for about a year. The night she came home, Megan found one of our leaflets in the kitchen and asked her parents if they could go the next day. In the past few months God has done such a marvelous work in Megan’s heart. She has recently started to help in a Sunday school class and with a young peoples outreach. Megan has such an excitement about serving the Lord. Please pray for God’s direction and will in her life.

Our Sunday school has continued to grow and in the past several months five children have come to know Christ as Savior, including our oldest son, Stephen. We are starting a Friday night teen club at the end of March to reach more of the young people in town. Pray this ministry will be used to see many young people saved.

In September we will be starting a Bible Institute to train people for the ministry. As of now we have three young people planning to attend. Brian Booth, a missionary from Canada, has come to work with us and will be overseeing the institute. Please pray for this ministry as there are many more young people looking for a Bible school for training.

Lisa is expecting our fifth child in September. We would appreciate your prayers for her and the baby.

Yours Faithfully,

Steve Messersmith and Family

We were privileged to be at our home church for the baptismal service of Jonathan and Rachel. We rejoice at the work of grace in their hearts and covet your prayers that Jeremiah, Abigail and Joel would also be saved and that we would “train up our children in the way they should go” and for the glory of God!

Wil Rice IV, President of The Bill Rice Ranch in Murfreesboro, Tn. To Speak At CBC Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

Dear Friend,

Seventy-eight people were saved through the Ranch's New York City evangelistic outreach recently. Nine others received assurance of their salvation, and we passed out 30,000 pieces of Gospel literature. We are so thankful for those who went on this trip and for those who helped support this effort in other ways.

But let me tell you about one particularly interesting follow-up call we received after the New York trip was over. A lady called requesting church information for the New York City area. Her 19-year old son had recently moved to the city and desperately needed a good church home. He had received a tract from someone in our group and now his mother was calling us based upon our phone number on the tract. Where was this mom calling from? She turned out to be a neighbor who lives one mile from the Ranch! The mission work so greatly needed 1,000 miles north was the same kind of work needed one mile east.

And the same "missionaries" on staff here who enjoyed the support and prayers undergirding their work in New York City need it just as much now for their work in Murfreesboro. In the coming months they will be ministering to both young and old, both deaf and hearing people from New York, Florida, Ohio, Oklahoma and a host of other states who will join us in this revival atmosphere on the Ranch.

Would you make it a point to pray this month for the men and women of the Bill Rice Ranch? And would you prayerfully consider supporting them and their work? Our hearts are grateful for God's goodness to us and for people like you with an interest in this ministry.

Your friend,
Wil Rice IV

President, Bill Rice Ranch, Inc.

CALL THE CHURCH AT 830-629-0049 OR The Director of Mothers Day Out at 210-568-9970

We at Calvary Baptist Church believe strongly in the family unit, and believe that it was first instituted by God in the Book of Genesis. The family is under attack today and we believe that we should do everything in our power to help protect and nourish it.
Several ladies in our church, who are stay at home Mom’s, have become concerned for Mom’s with small children who may need a little time to themselves. They decided to start a mothers day out program here at the church.
It will be open 2 days a week, Tuesday and Thursday, from 9am – 2pm so that Mom’s may have some time to go shopping, go out on a date with her husband, schedule a doctors appointment, or just get away for a few hours.
They feel that it would be a blessing to be able to bring your children to the church, to be watched by Christian friends in our own community, and be taught Bible lessons and children’s songs etc.
Children old enough to learn from a curriculum will be taught lessons as a pre-kindergarden class.

Monthly Fees:
$120.00 per month per child (tentative) 2 days a week or $70.00 a month per child 1 day a week.
Tuition is a monthly fee regardless of how many days are in the month. Tuition is due in full at the beginning of the month.
Registration Fees: $50.00 per child per year. Book Fees: 2-4 years – $45.00. (Due upon Registration and Non-Refundable)
Children are placed according to their age on September 1st. Checks are payable to Calvary Baptist Church.

Fence Painting

2005-11-11T21:57:00.000-08:00

What a GREAT way to spend Veterans Day. Several of our men had the day off their regular jobs for Veterans Day and spent it painting the fence on Klein Road in front of the church. Jimmy Ortiz ram-rodded the whole project. Approximately 5 long hours of bending and stretching, and groaning and 15 gallons of paint later it was finally finished. In addition to Jimmy thanks to all that helped including Fugie Rodriguez, Rey Escobedo, Brad Nichols, Ricky Bailey, and Pastor Beatty. The fellowship was "real good" too!

World Missions Conference 2005

2005-11-11T21:10:00.000-08:00

October 2005 - WORLD MISSIONS CONFERENCE 2005 A GREAT BLESSING!
The Missions conference at CBC has now come to a close and what a great blessing it was. Our first missionary speaker was Javier Almanza from Xalapa Mexico and the last missionary of the week was Randy Smith from the Ivory Coast .

Brother Almanza preached a humbling message on sacrifice. He said that a sacrifice has to be something that costs us, either time or money or energy, or it is not really a sacrifice. Two days after he preached for us he was re-entering Mexico with a car that someone had donated to them from here in Texas . He of course didn’t have the title yet, because it takes several weeks to receive it. That was enough for the Mexican authorities to put him in jail! He was in jail for several days, but instead of feeling sorry for himself he organized 3 services and preached to the inmates there and had almost 30 professions of faith! The Lord evidently had people there that night that knew they needed Christ and were open to a clear presentation of the Gospel, and so he sent Javier.

On the last night of the conference, Randy Smith, our missionary to the Ivory Coast spoke and gave a report on the mission there. It was extremely interesting to hear how people in other countries respond to the Gospel. But the testimony of how his wife almost died of malaria and is still recovering was a deep heart searching time for all of us. What a sacrifice many of these missionaries make to get the Word out to those who have never heard!
