Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara Missions

And this Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14 It is our desire to encourage the church body to be involved in the great commission by providing opportunities to: Pray, Send or Go out into the world to be a missionary. Jesus has called us to Go into all the world and to make disciples. We believe every follower of Jesus has a responsibility to be involved with that command to Go. Not all are called to physically leave Santa Barbara - but all can be a part of making that happen. We are a small team that has been sent to Listowel, Ireland to encourage the Christian church and to make new believers.

BREAKING DOWN WALLS
First morning in Ireland we got up early and walked through town praying for the outreach and the opportunity to share the gospel as we made our way to Listowel. God has provided amazing opportunities with various people here in Ireland. Please pray for the following: The Jewish Woman Bible teacher who heard the gospel and received a gospel of John. The Dive instructor staying at the same B&B, raised Catholic but not attending church thanked Rod for sharing with him the good news of salvation, received the gospel of John and gave Rod his business card. Margaret, the lost tour guide who approached Rod and I (two Americans) asking us for directions in Ireland - go figure. Using the theme of lostness we proceeded to share with her the gospel message. She had attended a Bible college in Minnesota but had never heard the gospel message of salvation by grace and that one can be assured of their salvation.  She thanked us as she left to attend to her tour group. Pray for Rachel who we met when we needed to purchase a phone in Limerick, Ireland. She received the gospel of John. This morning we had the opportunity to share, and pray for our B&B hostess in Cahir. She had been wronged in the church, lost in a works based religion and did not know that she could have assurance of salvation. We had the opportunity to share the gospel and pray for her. She did not receive Jesus, but is on the fence. Please pray for healing from the wrong and for her salvation. Her heart is soft and she was definitely touched by the prayer. Continue to pray for us, for opportunities, boldness to share the gospel. Thank you for your prayers.
Blessings,
