The remaining two months will take place at an actual church plant where you will experience the excitement of taking part in the launch of a new work for Christ. Those who have been through the LEARN portion are invited to apply for the EXPERIENCE at the discretion of CCLV leadership.

Calvary Chapel Monterrey
Calvary Culiacan Sur
Curitiba, Brazil
More Info
Pastor Ricardo and his family moved to the city of Curitiba, Brazil in July so that he could take over as the new senior pastor of Calvary Curitiba. Just as the Lord had installed them, the pandemic hit, and the need for ministry has skyrocketed. Despite the chaos of COVID-19, God is forming a healthy, growing, and very active church.
Prayer requests:
For our family as the kids are still a lot at home due covid-19 and missing friends and meeting new kids.
For Lillian and I to be wholehearted and learning to love, care and feed the folks from Calvary Curitiba
For a great first year of transition and vision for the future.
For a genuine outpouring of the Holy Spirit among us.
One of the exciting things the Maker did, was to give vision to some of our leaders here to initiate a new ministry during the pandemic to serve those in need and some families who have adopted kids.
We have seen so many beautiful things out of this initiative.
