But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life. JOHN 4:14 (NIV) C B C M O B I L I Z AT I O N . O R G


CHAD MASON MAGI PASTOR Calvary Baptist Church has been blessed with so very much. With that blessing comes the powerful responsibility to convey those blessings to a world desperate for HIM. This is the season where we as a body of believers must “run with endurance, the race marked out for us.” I am so honored to stand with each of you as we respond to God’s leading together!

THE MISSION Christ commissions His followers to go and make disciples throughout the world. To play our part in fulfilling Christ’s commission, Calvary Baptist Church partners with agencies, missionaries and missionary teams that are making disciples and multiplying churches among the unreached & underserved peoples and places of the world.

PEC AN PROJECT In 2013 we learned of a sustainment opportunity that involved farming pecans in the high desert of Coahuila, Mexico. We have planted 150 trees in the desert to date, and over the next few years expect to increase until there are 500 in the ground. When they mature they should gross around $75,000.00 USD annually.

COFFEE PROJECT In 2014 Calvary Missions gave funds to Pastor Eufemio to plant 1000 coffee trees on his farm in the mountains of Chiapas. Since then we have continued to sell coffee and fund the progress of the project.

P I G FA R M P R O J E C T Calvary Missions has recently started to engage in a new project among the Me’phaa people group in the Guerrero State of Mexico. This project will involve starting a small pig farm to help support the “Tlapaneco Bible School�. It will provide both a food source and an income source for the students and ministry staff who volunteer at the school. It will also provide a new area to gain experience and knowledge to help empower the students and staff to sustain themselves and their ministries in the future. C B C M O B I L I Z AT I O N .

Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. 1 Chronicles 16:23 (NIV) C B C M O B I L I Z AT I O N . O R G


Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith… Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. “Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed… Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” Heb 12:1,2,12,13,28,29
