YO SOY CALVARY I AM CALVARY

I am Calvary is our churches latest theme, to express what the different people at our church Calvary Baptist Church in Mc Allen is all about. Well this house for Martin, Maria and the seven children they have, has been provided by a family at Calvary that wanted to reach out and meet the needs of a family that desperately needed a house. Darrin and Christina gave of themselves to provide the funding to be an answer to the prayers of a family they never met and this week we have been building their answer to their prayers, as they all slept in the tent we gave them after they disassembled the house they had. With no team from the states to help us build it, several friends from the colonia helped build the new design, larger house to make room for this family of nine. We had it pretty much finished in two days and today we will put the finishing touches on it. So I like to think that Calvary is a church with people that care about other people, even people from another country and culture, so close and yet worlds apart, separated by a violent river that claims so many lives of people just trying to get to the other side to experience the American dream. The people in the colonia seem to be content there and only pray for God to meet the needs of their families every day, right where they are. We will dedicate the house Sat or Sunday when the sponsors of the house can attend.
