NEWestMissionaries
Stephen Coombs will be serving in Eurasia with World
Horizons, beginning at the end of 2015. He will be working STEPHEN COOMBS
using Filipus, an intensive, community-based program that
teaches national believers how to plant churches in a predominantly
Muslim context. Stephen will also be involved in outreach and churchplanting in cities that do not yet have any Christian communities. He is
the youngest son of David and Heidi Coombs, and is the last of their four
children to become a Calvary missionary. He joins Jonathan, Rebecca
(Pazmino), and Daniel who have all served globally with Calvary
Church. Pray that Stephen will have an effective year of training and
preparation as he is currrently finishing his final year at Biola.
Tom and Grace Goreth are currently serving with JAARS, the
transportation arm of Wycliffe Bible Translators. Grace is the daughter TOM & GRACE GORETH
of Cameron Townsend, the founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators. She
was raised in South America as a missionary kid (MK) and has the joy of sharing about
the story of her life as the daughter of an amazing innovator. She spends several weeks
each year on the road speaking at conferences and sharing with church leaders about
the importance of Bible translation. A large part of Tom and Graces role with JAARS
is to raise funds for special projects that make Bible translation possible. The Goreths
(along with the Weemes following) are church members who are doing US Based Global
Focused ministry and are part of Calvarys new missionary category status structure. We
are blessed to have them available to help Calvary with teaching and training of future
missionaries when they are in Orange County.

JIMMY SIMPSON
STEVE & KATHI WEEMES
Steve and Kathi Weemes
serve with OMF (Overseas
Missionary Fellowship)
and lead OMFs national
movement to multiply local
volunteers who want to
be missions mobilizers in
their churches and other
spheres of influence. One
key strategy is to empower volunteers to facilitate
missional small groups, thus awakening the US
church to Gods heart for unreached peoples.
The Weemes have been active here at Calvary by
teaching Understanding World Religions classes
and mentoring two of our Future Missionary Focus
candidates. Prior to living here in Orange County,
they served for over 20 years in Japan as church
planters and evangelists. Steve and Kathi have a
heart for service and led a short term team to Japan
last year. They are hoping to see more teams head to
Asia in 2016. The Weemes ask for prayer as they seek
spiritually mature volunteers to lead mission focused
small groups to impact churches.
Do you feel that God is calling you into missions? You might consider attending Urbana 15, December 2731, 2015. Urbana is a unique opportunity to engage face-to-face with leaders from more than 250 missions
organizations and seminaries. Nowhere else can you get the kind of live information Urbana offers from
women and men who are doing missions. Youll worship, pray, and learn with people from around the world.
Discover organizations that could be part of your journey to serve God in the world. Learn about all kinds
of missions opportunities in all kinds of fields. Talk with people who can offer their insight and experience
as you explore your own passions. Dont miss what God is doing through our generation around the world.
Pick up information on Urbana from Kristen Gackle in College Ministry. Early registration begins March 1,
so for the best prices register early. Some partial scholarships are available from Calvarys REACH Global.

Homes for Hope
Hello, Id like to introduce myself. My name is
Maria and I live in Rosarito, Baja California. Im
23 and I have two kids. I work in a bakery that
allows us to feed my family. My husband left
about half a year ago and thats why Ive been
living in a house that others lent to me. Theyve
been kind in letting me pay for my own land
while living there. Ive been trying to build a
room where my kids and I can live but its been
hard. Im grateful that youre all coming to help
my babies and me.
I need your help because I do not have a house.
The trailer we live in was borrowed from some
family members. I appreciate your help. God
bless you. (The woman who accepted Christ.)

Questions with
CALVARYLIFE.ORG/REACH
REACH
Q4: WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE JOYS AND HIGHLIGHTS OF MINISTERING AT JUVENILE HALL?
I would say that the biggest joy of my five years of working as a volunteer,
would be seeing how the Lord uses us to minister to these kids. I don't
consider myself an eloquent speaker by nature. I'm amazed each week how
the Holy Spirit speaks through me in ways that would probably surprise
ones who know me well. Many times I will ask myself, "Did I really just say
that?" I love getting the visual and verbal feedback from the boys when they
understand the love and grace God offers them through the sacrifice Jesus
made on their behalf.
Q5: HOW CAN OTHER PEOPLE HERE AT CALVARY GET INVOLVED IN MINISTRY WITH PYCM?
Anyone at Calvary interested in participating in this ministry can contact ParaChaplain Sheri Snyder at 714.935.6365 or 714.434.6012. PYCM has the means to
train any volunteer to serve in whichever capacity he or she feels called.
local
chapel service. We can have as little as one, or as many as 6-8. The overall
population at Juvenile Hall has been down the last two years, so our studies
lately have been attended by 1-3 boys per week.
INITIATIVE
On February 14th, (Valentines Day!) Calvary Church joined nine local churches
and over 300 volunteers for the second Love Santa Ana Initiative. This
included picking up trash on neighborhood streets, painting houses and
fences in the community, distributing groceries and laundry supplies, hosting a
resource fair to introduce Willard neighborhood residents to community nonprofits, distributing free hot dogs, chips and waters and offering prayer and
encouragement to the neighborhood.
The goal of the Love Santa Ana Initiative is to both demonstrate and proclaim
the good news of Jesus to Santa Ana by showing tangible love to the
communities in the toughest, most economically challenged neighborhoods in
the city. The proclamation of the good news of Jesus comes through setting
up prayer stations at each event, explaining the Gospel both publicly (large
group gathering) and relationally (one-on-one with those we meet in the
neighborhood) and by promoting and encouraging the local church already
established in each neighborhood or through forming a community Bible study
that could lead to a church plant where there is no local church presence.
God is up to something really exciting and powerful through the Love Santa
Ana Initiative! For more information or to volunteer or donate materials for the
next Love Santa Ana Initiative, contact Calvarys Reach Pastor, Matt Doan, at
mdoan@calvarylife.org or 714.550.2378.
