Construction of New Churches

Regular Hospital Ministry continues

 Teams come for relief work, but all the "regular" ministry also continues on.  Praying from bed to bed in the hospitals has been part of the church ministry for the last 16 years.

Praying and ministering to the sick

Work continues as foundational pillars are now up for the San Julian Church!

Ptr. Ron Brown does an excellent job at putting together the annual youth camp.  Youth camps are always an amazing time to stir up the young people in serving Jesus.

The youth group looks forward to this event all year

Making Progress

The work is going well as we continue to work on the Bible College and CC San Julian.

CC Downey came out again to help us and really blessed everyone.  Much was done both physically and spiritually by this team.

Update on Ptr Jerry Brown:  He is getting stronger after his motorcycle accident.  The doctor says his back is starting to heal, and ribs are beginning to settle as well.  He is really hoping to be able to go over in late June once again. Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Calvary Chapel/U-Turn for Christ Hernani Open for Worship

Church at Hernani just starting Sunday and mid week service there now. People are starting to really respond to the love that has been poured out on them over the last few months.

Worshiping the Lord for His goodness and faithfulness

Then we have Buffalo Bill (Pastor Bill) big time farmer now! One missions trip to the Philippines will change you in many ways!

Finally, we get to see what many have labored for, many have given to, and many have prayed toward.   A new worship center CC HERNANI is alive with saints! You can see that we still have more work to do on the details of the church as well as furniture, but the saints were so blessed to be back in their house of worship!

Rebuilding Homes, Rebuilding Lives, Bringing Fresh Water

Teams have been building homes for church members

 

Pastor Ron Brown continues to lead the teams and give us updates from the Calvary Chapel relief work that is going on. What a blessing to see people continue to pour out the love of Jesus on these desperate people.

We are continuing to reach out by building houses for members of the church that had their homes completely destroyed in the Typhoon.

 

 

 

 

The house wouldn't be complete without this essential room- the C.R. (bathroom)

Church is the biggest joy for these precious people with the teams that come to help

Food is always going to be a part of CC services and fellowship!

This is another house for the people from Sabang Suribau where many of our church members were affected by the storm.

We have pastors teaching our regular weekly prison ministry, Here is Pastor Roger Stalhut of CC New Horizon in Oregon having his opportunity to minister there

Again the team from CC Hatters Island.

Always taking the blessing of having visiting pastor’s teaching our Bible college students while they are with us.  Here is Pastor Billy from CC Hatteras Island teaching the Bible school.

Two teams coming to serve- CC New Horizons with CC Hatteras Island

New water tower now at the CC Hernani church facilities.
Huge help to all -including setting up for clean fresh drinking water for the whole community.
Thank God for the teams from Thailand, Hatteras Island, Oregon, and Romoland please keep them in prayer as they continue to show the love of Jesus to the Philippines in so many different ways. The people of Hernani are excited about this church building being resurrected as a focus of hope for all that have lost everything, soon they will have a place to gather to worship God together again. Thank You for all your help.

Getting Close to Completion

Getting ready for CC Hernani church to be opened.

 It has been four months since Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) devastated the Philippines.  Nothing was left of U-Turn for Christ/Calvary Chapel Hernani.  But by the grace of God, out of the rubble the church is almost completely rebuilt.  Thanks to all the teams in helping make this possible.  Ptr. Jerome's family lost their house.  We were able to construct housing for Ptr. Jerome's Mom and Dad which is also almost completed.

Almost ready to move Ptr. Jerome’s Mom and Dad into their own home.

CC Relief has the trucks now bringing food for the needy.

New teams arrive this one from our Calvary Chapel in Thailand for ministry opportunities.

Lots of ministry still to do, keep praying, keep supporting, or bring a team and help.

Trucks of supplies have been donated to bring food to the needy.  The Lord is supplying the need for those affected.  Thanks to the hearts of the saints being stirred up to minister.














Teams continue to come in from all over the world.  A team from Thailand has come to serve the people on Eastern Samar.

77,000 pounds of Relief Goods are now in Eastern Samar

The team preparing to bring in relief goods.  The 8 people with Pastor Billy Rutledge and 9 with Pastor Roger Stalhut from Oregon as well as the three from CC Romoland, with lots of great plans. See them here with lots of tracks, stuffed animals and toys in the boxes as they load at LAX.

Looking forward to what the Lord will do.  Checking in relief boxes on plane.
