I don't know who had more fun Eulogio or Gabby being carried from wheelchair to waterslide
I had fun helping Rufinia to the top of the slide and then sliding her crutch down to her when it was all clear

It was a wonderfully hot (Easter) day great time for water fun


Gabby was looking forward to getting into the pool as we had just walked from the restraunt



Maria and I take it one day at a time, we continue to pray for a new home for Allison and her little angels "Eternal Home Project", and we are praying that they will be near us, some new possibilities have come up, pray Pastor Chris

Great things happened this month...just read on..

A team from the US came and put a roof on our Kid's Church, it was an awesome time to experience. I get so emotional and smeepy sometimes, it is embarassing, never used to,...Chris
The whole team came to Calvary Pena Blanca, the chairs were filled.


This is a Saturday Drama/Mime workshop we are preparing for a huge outreach that is up and comming more on that later.

Next Sunday Kid's Church should have a roof !!!

Notice how Mrs. Leah recruited a little helper, who is now hitching a "piggy back" ride. Who is helping who is my question? Edgar the young man, speaks excellent English, it is great to have him around.
Rubenia (with crutch) from the girls home, "Eternal Family Project" came back for another visit to Calvary Pena Blanca Kid's Church. Rubenia's English has really improved, she has a way to go yet, but she is much better off then before. (see older posts). Leah Crespin has been faithful to minister to all the children that come to Kid's Church.

Points of interest within walking distance...
















Brahma Drama
















Wouldn't you know it? It just had to happen, a frisky little Brahma calf fell into our septic trench. The little fellow wasn't hurt- they are as nimble as goats, but he could not get out on his own. The two cattlemen pulled him out bottom first as mama looks on. It was a good end to a misty and rainy morning.

This is one of the families that we visit when we can. We try to help them meet basic needs, the baby needed milk so it was provided in powder form. Beans and rice are often requested as well. We try to make a difference one relation at a time. This is a hole that we are digging in order to build a septic tank for bathroom waste, little by little

Septic hole as you view from the top, 20 feet deep is the norm.


On this very Sunday, some friends bought us some more chairs and that same day all the chairs were used and filled with more church visitors !

Finally this is the church with doors on.


Calvary Chapel Pena Blanca, announces that at some date between June 8th and the 18th 2010, we will conduct a grand opening of sorts or a ribbon cutting AND an invitation of key people that helped make this all possible, you are invited as well, I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED.

Our services are at 10 am, bilingual

I love the Spanish language, I have learned alot. However I can really speak my heart thru the Word in my mother tongue, English. I do understand how important it is to communicate well. I know there will be a time real soon that I will speak my heart properly(in Spanish) so until that time. Our Sunday services will always be bi-lingual, we start at 10 AM. Feel free to join us, at Calvary Pena Blanca, just outside of Pena Blanca heading west, take a left at the sign: "Friends of Barnabus Clinic". We are to the right just at the gates of the clinic. We do have Kids Church right next to the Adult Church, children can be left there in the capeable hands of the ministry workers. Blessings to you Pastor Chris Rivera
