The Lord has blessed us with some great opportunities to reach out in our surrounding community once every few weeks on Wednesday nights. One Wednesday we handed out school supplies and another household goods with a Sheetz gift card. It has been a blessing to get out and meet people and pray with them. The Lord has also used our food bank to help those in need.

SUMMER MISSIONS TRIP UPDATE
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20, 21
The Lord did amazing things during our trip to KY. He exceeded all our expectations! We were able to, along with a couple from Canada, build three porches. Two were on a trailer in a trailer park and one was at an elderly widows house. Our team learned the value of reaching out to meet practical needs as we had people from both work sites at the youth rally on Friday night.
The youth rally was simply amazing! Genuine revival broke out as many wept at the altar and shared from the platform. One father of a teen came to Christ. Many in our group were ministering to and praying over people. This was an awesome evening where God poured out His Spirit in an amazing way.
The youth group from the church we partnered with, Mountain Harvest Baptist Church, and our youth group bonded in an amazing way. We were also able to do projects around the church and encourage them. Praise the Lord for all He did! Check out our youth webpage for more photos: http://calvarychapelac.com/ministries/youth.php

PRAISE THE LORD! WE MET OUR GOAL OF $1100 TO PROVIDE SHELTER FOR A FAMILY IN HAITI!
With the rainy season coming there is a huge need for shelter in Haiti. Franklin Graham’s organization Samaritan’s Purse has a great plan in place to provide shelter. According to their newsletter thousands are “living in makeshift tents with flimsy sheets strung over pieces of string to ward off the heat and the dust.” They are planning to build 12 by 12 shelters that will be able to temporarily house a family of up to 10. Here is the breakdown:
$664 – provides a shelter designed to last for two years
$113- provides gutters, downspout, and a cistern designed to capture rain water
$223- provides wooden bunk beds
$100- provides a water filter to give clean drinking water in case the rainwater is insufficient
