Christians, as salt, are to inhibit sins power to destroy
lives. This in turn creates opportunity for the gospel
to be proclaimed and received. We have been given a
wonderful privilege to be the salt of the earth, but Jesus
gave us a warning in the second half of Mathew 5:13. Jesus
did not say that we can lose our salvation; He said that
we can lose our saltiness. When salt is contaminated it
becomes corrosive and poisonous. If we have allowed
disobedience, carelessness and indifference to rule our
lives, we have become contaminated salt and have lost
our saltiness. We need to confess our sin and let the Lord
restore us to the purpose for which we are called.
In Matthew 5:14, Jesus tells His disciples, You a
of the world. As salt the Christian is to coun
power of sin. As light we are to illuminate or ma
Our lives are to be an on-going witness to the
Christs presence in our lives. When we worship
pure hearts, when we love others as ourselves, w
shining. It is not our light, but the reflection of th
the World, Jesus Christ, that people are to see
are to shine as lighthouses, warning of danger and
people to a safe harbor, providing hope for those
lost hope. God uses us to be like beacons from a
shining in the darkness and showing the way to H
Will you be salt and light and let God have yo
His glory?
Liz Gold
Reach Global Missions Director
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt ha
tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is
good for anything, except to be thrown out and
underfoot by men. You are the light of the world

light to all who are in the house. Let your light sh

glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5
Jesus did not a you can bo you hav th potential to b
Jesus said that we are the salt of the earth and the light
of the world. Being salt and light is not optional. Jesus
did not say you can be or you have the potential to
be He said you are.
Everyone who has trusted Christ for salvation and is born
again is salt of the earth and the light of the world.
When Jesus told his disciples that they were the salt of
the earth they understood the metaphor. Salt is not as
readily apparent to us today, but the mandate that Jesus
gave is still relevant. When Jesus said, You are the salt
of the earth, He meant that all of His disciples were to
serve as preservatives, stopping the moral decay in our
sin infected world. The spiritual health and strength of
the Christian is to counteract the corruption that is in the
world.
H aid, you are.

Berti Dosti was
trained as a leader in
the Communist Army of Albania, teaching soldiers
how to listen for and intercept enemy radio signals.
In the late 1980s, Berti began to hear programs in
the Albanian language coming from Monte Carlo
that spoke about God and His love for all people.
They spoke to Bertis heart, in his own language. It
was the first time he had heard such a message, for
in Albania, God was forbidden.
After Hoxhas rule finally came to an end, Albania
was opened to the Gospel in 1991. Great progress
was made in establishing churches, and the number
of Christian churches increased together with the
number of born-again Christian believers. The

Carlos grew up in
war-torn El Salvador.
He came to know
the Lord through
the witness of a high
school friend. The
two teenagers were
on fire for the Lord
and before long they
had a group of 30
in a Bible study they
started, and were
making missionary
trips to other parts of El Salvador.
Carlos became a professor, but the university was closed
when guerrilla activities became too intense. He used
this time to volunteer as a youth pastor at his church.
Carlos coordinated Mission 84, the first international
missions conference in Central America, which helped
to spark a missionary movement across South America
and helped to coordinate COMIBAM, a continent-wide
missions congress held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1987. This
was the milestone that signaled the change in the Latin
American continent from a mission field to a mission
force.
Carlos and Lorena moved to a Middle Eastern country
where he worked for a computer company while they
served as leaders of a church-planting team among
Muslims. This proved to be an invaluable experience
for his future role, from 1991-2006, with Partners
International as Area Director for the Middle East and
North Africa. Carlos currently serves as Vice President
of International Ministries directing the work of more
than 100 Partners Internationals indigenous partners in
56 countries.

SATURDAY, MARCH15 9:30 AM
Sundar and Sareeta Thapa were born and live in
Katmandu, Nepal. In 1987, they started the Evangelical
Christian Fellowship (ECF), an expanding fellowship of
more than 175 Nepalese churches. They head a church
that has three daughter churches, run two orphanages
of about 100 street kids, rescue girls from sex-slavery
in India, and feed street children (there are 15,000 in
Kathmandu). They do all this with very minimal financial
help from the West. ECF also holds regional training
conferences and help Christian families driven from
their homes.
God brought Sundar and Sareetas work to Calvarys
attention in 2004, at the Lausanne Forum in Thailand.
A friendship was formed, and in 2011 they were able to
visit us in the states, and meet with the Calvary Church
Missions Team, Pastor David, and our Calvary Elders.
After their return to Nepal, Calvary decided to take
the Thapas on as Calvary Missionaries. We are excited
to have them join us as our speakers for the Calvary
Global Missions Breakfast. Tickets are required for
this event ($10 suggested donation) and are available in
the Worship Center lobby on Sundays or at the Reach
Offices during the week.

Moldova is one of the poorest countries in the world, andthe center of human trafcking in Europe. Recently one of the state runorphanages in Moldova was found to have issues of abuse in all kindsof forms and expressions, and a new and very disturbing trend in thecountry is the growth of human organ harvesting. In most of the casesorphans are targeted, as they are the most vulnerable.
When we hear about the horrors and atrocities that take place in othercountries, it is easy to ask if there is any hope for those living in placessuch as these. Hope for Moldova, founded by Calvary Missionaries Olegand Marina Reutki, is working hard to strategically shine the hope andlight of Christ in this dark place.
Hope for Moldova reaches out to children, from new born babies toyoung adults, through camp programs, classes in state run schools,orphan ministry, and transition homes for teens. The ministry seeks totransform both lives and the society, while reaching the next generationfor Christ. One way they create change is through awareness. We praiseGod for the 15,000 kids in the state run orphanages and public schools
that we were able to inform to be aware of trafcking that was happening.Through awareness, we saw a yearly drop of 3% in trafcking. About5,000 posters were spread by churches in the shops, schools, city halls,streets, and door to door. Because of Hope for Moldovas partnership
with these churches, more than 10,000 kids heard the Gospel throughtheir Stop-Trafcking campaign.
When we think about orphans, it always reminds us of
the Lord. He is the Father of the fatherless, and His heart
breaks at the idea of what these kids have to go through.
In Moldova, once an orphan reaches the age of 16 or 17, they are usuallydischarged from the only home they have ever known, but with littlemoney, very few resources or protection, and almost no lifeskills. Hopefor Moldova is providing Transitional Homes as one solution to thisissue. In each home, 16 orphan girls at a time nd their place of healingand restoration through the care of loving Christian couples. Theylearn about life outside the orphanage, how to cook and take care ofthemselves, continue their schooling and develop life skills. TransitionHomes are a place of care, love, and compassion; a place where each oneof these children matter. Many of these girls come to accept Jesus Christas their Lord and Savior.
In their most recent letter, Oleg and Marina reported, Last August,ve of these girls were baptized. Now they are plugged into the localchurches and Christian society. It is such a joy to see the great results ofthese years of godly investment. In their spare time, most of these girlsare serving as part of the drama team; traveling to camps, churches, youthevents, and orphanages to share the Message that transformed their ownlives We see Gods hand at work. Thank you for making this possible.
Oleg and Marina Reutki will join us June 23 - 29 as the 2014 VBS Missionaries,
and will share how the funds that were raised during REACH Global Weeks
Kids Walk for Hope helped care for orphaned children in Moldova.
Visit kidswalkforhope.org to learn more.
On Wednesday, March 12, Calvarys Childrens Ministries will host the third annual Kids Walk for Hope.
The funds raised during this evening will be used to help orphans in Orange County, Africa and Moldova.

With three children under the age of eight, I have watched
my share of Mister Rodgers Neighborhood videos over
the last few years. It has been a joy to share these old
classics with my kids. In the opening of each episode,
Mister Rodgers sings, Wont You Be My Neighbor which
begins and ends with the lines:
It a beautiful day in this neighbrhd,
A beautiful day fr a neighbr ...
Wnt yu please, wnt yu please,
please wnt yu be my neighbr?
Lets be honest.
Here in Orange County, there are some major obstacles
to being the type of neighbor Mister Rodgers sang about.
From the high cost of rent and mortgages that create high
residential turnover rates, to the fact that many of us exit
our cars as we return home directly through the garage or
back door, to the reality that many of us work more than
five miles outside the home. It seems like we leave earlier
and return home later than any generation before us. It
isnt easy to be a good neighbor!
In 2014, I want to grow specifically in my ability to be a
good neighbor to those God has placed geographically
and directly around me. I want to be available to care for
my neighbors and be the salt and light which Jesus has
called me to be in my neighborhood. I would like to invite
you to do the same!
and yu hall lve the Lrd yur Gd with all yur heart, and with all yur ul, and with a
yur mind, and with all yur trength. The ecnd is this, Yu hall lve yur neighbr as y
There is n ther comandment greater than these. - Jesus in the Gspel f Mark 12:30-31
I challenge you to cut or tear off the chart on the next
page and fill out the names of your neighbors. Place the
chart on your refrigerator or somewhere you will see it
each day and commit to simply pray for your neighbors
on a daily or weekly basis for the rest of this year. (For
some of us, this may mean having to humble ourselves
to ask the names of our neighbors once again!)
Some of us are born to make friends, and will take
on this challenge with a plate of cookies in hand and
a big smile on faces as we meet or reconnect with
our neighbors. There might be others who would feel
more comfortable by connecting online first, at a site
like nextdoor.com. This site is a community billboard
version of Facebook. Instead of finding friends from
high school who now live hundreds of miles away, youre
interacting with people who are down the street from
you. However you decide to get to know your neighbors,
I still challenge you to pray for them and shine the love
of Christ into their lives!
Lets take this simple step in 2014 and watch God do
amazing things as He uses us as salt and light in our
neighborhoods!

If you have ever attended a service in Elevation, you probably
recognize the name Victor Estrada. Victor has served on staff at
Calvary for over 13 years, leading and overseeing worship through
music for students and adults. What might surprise you is that he is
somewhat nervous about being the guy standing front and center,
with a thousand faces staring back at him. He loves leading worship,
using his gifts and talents to bring glory to God, but his favoriteministry happens behind the scenes. Victor and his wife, Kim, love
one on one conversations and sharing with small groups. They enjoy
listening, encouraging and praying with those whom God brings into
their lives. And while Victor will still be up front leading worship on
Sunday mornings, God is using his passion for connecting with people
in a new ministry opportunity, right next door to Calvary.
Recently, Victor and Kim became an official Cares Team
with Apartment Life, a non-profit, faith based ministry that
serves apartment communities all over the nation, includingseveral here in Orange County. Apartment Life is motivated
by the belief that every individual is created for community.
Apartment Life's mission is to transform the lives of apartmentresidents by fostering environments where residents can build
authentic friendships and develop lasting community.
Research has shown that apartment communities are largely
unchurched. The average American has only two people they can
confide in for any meaningful relationship, and 1 in 4 have no one.
31.4 million people live in apartments and 95% have no meaningfulconnection to a church.
Victor and Kim resonate with these statistics. In the past, they felt
disconnected to those around them. Then the Lord starting placing
people in their lives that reached out and made them feel valued
in their communities. Their hearts began to be convicted that
they needed to do the same. God used that taste of community
as a stepping stone for them to continue the pursuit of authentic
relationships with their neighbors.
The job of a Cares Team, has many different aspects. It ranges from
welcoming new residents, listening to input from those who have
been there for a longer period of time, putting on community events
and last but not least, caring for staff and the special needs of the
residents. In all of these things, as followers of Jesus Christ, Victor
and Kim pray that Christ is made known.
Victor and Kim ask that those at Calvary partner with them through
prayer. We know that the words of Ephesians 6:12 are true. For weare not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil
rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in
this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

A few years ago, you ser ved at a homeless outreach up in Northern
California while visiting family. How did that experience impact you
and lead you to today?
We were visiting my aunt and uncle in Menlo Park and theirchurch was involved with a ministry where food bank food
was provided to needy families at schools in Redwood City.We had the opportunity to go with them and help giveout this food. We were passing out boxes of Corn Flakes.
We will never forget the excitement of one little girl as wehanded her the box. Hearing her say with excitement,OhMom, cereal! We returned to Calvary and shared this withMatt Doan and began to see if God had something similarfor us to do here through Calvary.
How did Calvarys partnership with Marys Kitchen come about?
Calvary had set up a program called The Calvary Pantry,where our church family brings food to church aboutfour times a year and we ll our food pantry. Through the
Volunteers In Pastoral Service, we provide food to anyperson who walks through Calvarys door needing help.
This group was contacted, through Matt Doan by Yorba
Linda Friends Church. They had been providing food onSaturdays for the homeless at Marys Kitchen in Orange forve years and were asking for help. We were able to applyfor a Ministry Extender grant from the Emergency NeedsFund and were able to take over the 4th Saturday of themonth at Marys Kitchen.
What does a typical Saturday at the kitchen look like?
We purchase the food a few days before and Calvaryvolunteers make ve large trays of casseroles. On Saturdaywe bring all the food to Marys Kitchen and the cookingbegins. We prepare a breakfast of eggs, pancakes, sausage,home fried potatoes, and coffee for about 150. We pray
with the clients and have the opportunity to serve them
this hot breakfast. While cleaning up the kitchen, another tepreparing 200 sack lunches. 150 of these will be given out wihot lunch, as Marys Kitchen is closed on Sunday. The other 5taken to the county courthouse to be given to the homeless alocation. We then start to prepare a hot lunch of the cass
we brought and make a green salad, fruit salad, vegetablesand dessert. After a blessing, another 150 are served at 1 o
Marys kitchen serves any person who walks in the front gateno questions asked and no forms to ll out. It is run by m
volunteers and food is mostly donated by local vendors.
How can people from Calvary get involved in serving with you?
We are hoping to get LifeGroups involved in preparincasseroles beforehand and in serving them on Saturday. Shour contact person and lines up the volunteers for each SatShe can be contacted at [email protected]. Also, MKitchen can use help throughout the week. Lastly, suppothe Emergency Needs Fund offering helps pay for the fooprovide. It costs about $950 a Saturday for food to make 500 m
How can people pray for the ministry at Marys Kitchen?
Our team of volunteers would love for you to pray for ourand this new ministry of Calvary Church. We are not sureGod has in store for us, but we are enjoying the adventubeing his hands and feet in ministering to the homeless icommunity.
Brad and Sheri are involved in se veral areas at Calvary Church;
from Sheris role on staff as the Hospitality Coordinator, to
Brads volunteer role as a Volunteer Pastor (VIP).
Recently they launched a brand new ministry here at Calvary
Church, partnering with Marys Kitchen (maryskitchen.org)
in Orange to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner to over 150
homeless men, women and children on the fourth Saturday of
each month. We sat down with Brad and Sheri to ask a few
questions and fnd out more.
