    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

    on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone lig

    and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, a

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

    men in such a way that they may see your good w

    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.

    Formerly an atheist

    country, Albania

    struggled under the

    dictatorship of Enver

    Hoxha for nearly 50

    years. It was within

    this system that

    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

    younger generation of Albanians was seeking after

    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.

    GLOBALMISSIONSBREAKFAST

    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.

    one of the earliest churches in Albania,

    Pages (Way of Peace Church), he formed

    training and computer skills school called

    School in 1997, which helped Albanians ac

    to find jobs. Victory School now teaches m

    750 pupils a year, offering classes in Engli

    and Computer Studies.

    Due to the economic conditions in Alba

    Christian and secular leaders have bee

    to immigrate to other countries to find

    support their families. This has left the co

    church, in dire need of leadership. Calvar

    would like to help develop Albanian leade

    and on-line. In a country that has been s

    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.

    APARTMENTLIFEMinistryVictor & Kim Estrada

    Victor and Kim ask that you pray for them in

    specific ways:

    1) PRIORITIZE: Please pray that we would sJesus in our individual lives and as a couple,

    would put on the full armor of God so that

    able to stand against the devils schemes. Plea

    that the Lord helps our family to balance ou

    responsibilities well, and that He is glorified

    and outside our home.

    2) POWER: We know that apart from Jesus

    nothing. Pray that the power of the Holy Spir

    upon us (and our volunteers) and all glory would

    3) PROTECTION: As we engage with all differ

    people, we pray for Gods protection over ou

    children, and our volunteers.

    4) PROVISION: We pray that God would brinpray consistently for us. We also pray for the n

    events to be provided from volunteers; to don

    to those with special talents that would be will

    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.
