Calvary Chapel Kendall Missions

Don’t know what to expect? Here are the most asked questions from last year’s team.

1. What if you’ve never talk to people about God in Spanish?

It’s ok, don’t worry. Many team members are fluent in Spanish and the Calvary Chapel Bible College will provide us with a translator/guide to help us out. Remember that talking to anybody about God can be nerve wracking, we’ll pray together, we’ll give you verses in Spanish, and most importantly we encourage you to start practicing with your abuela!

2. What if you don’t like the food, will we have another option?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. You will never be forced to eat anything “weird” or dangerous. However, we do expect you to take a leap of faith concerning ministry and concerning your comfort zone. If worst comes to worst, Jesus fasted for 40 days

3. Do Peruvians wear formal clothes to church?

Most do, however, we will be serving with Calvary Chapel Ministries. All the Calvary Ministries within Peru dress much like we do here at CCk.

4. How much money should we bring?

The amount you pay covers all food, airfare, transportation, and lodging. The only things that you’ll have to pay for are any souvenirs (if you have time) and extra food. About $100 should be more than enough!

5. Is there air conditioning?

There is no air conditioning anywhere that we’ll be going! This is not a joke! However, you won’t need any air conditioning, the weather is cool at night and slightly warm during the day.

6. Do we need to bring shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc?

Yes you will need toiletries, but you can either take them with you or visit a grocery store the first day in Peru to buy what you need. It’s usually alot easier to for the team to pool their money together and buy what you need.

7. Where are we staying?

We will be staying at the Calvary Chapel Bible College in Lima, Peru for a couple days but most of the time will be spent with Calvary Pisco.

8. Are we allowed to drink the water?

NO! We cannot drink the tap water! But we will have bottled water and juice available.

9. Is there something that I shouldn’t take?

Anything that will distract you from God, from fellowship, and from serving. This is a time to interact with people, this is not a time to watch movies, listen to your ipod, or iron your hair!

10. Is there something that I have to take?

Yes! You have to bring your Bible and your willingness to put your own interests aside and serve the Lord, His church, and each other.

Dear Family of Friends,

It has been an amazing journey, and it all began ten years ago, on October 4, 1999, when our family boarded the American Airlines jet bound for Lima, Peru.  The Lord has done way beyond what we could ever imagine, and we anticipate Jesus wanting to do so much more in the months and years ahead.

We hope that you will rejoice with us in all God is doing in South America. On behalf of the students and staff of Calvary Chapel Bible College-Peru, and the fellowship of believers at Calvary Chapel Lima, allow us to express our most heartfelt gratitude for your continued prayers and support of this ministry.

Your Missionaries to Peru,

John, Pilar, Michelle, Jason and Joshua Bonner

In just a matter of days Pastor Jose will lead a Youth Group Team from Miami all the way down to Lima, Peru. They will team up with Calvary Chapel Chorillos and the Calvary Chapel Bible College. They’re going to takeover all of CC Chorillos church services, they’ll also conduct kids outreaches, adult outreaches, and finish up with some light construction. Pray for their safety. this missions trip is from June 12 until June 21. Visit cckmissions.com to get news from the missions team.

The Bonner family moved to Peru in 1999, their vision was to establish a Spanish-speaking Bible college and a training center for missionaries. Shortly after they arrived, the first Bible classes began, John now serves as Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Lima. Because of the evangelistic emphasis of the college, many churches have been planted, and graduates go on to oversee those new fellowships. This June, Pastor Jose will lead a team from our Youth Group to serve in Peru. Please join us every Wed in the Video Sanctuary from 6:30pm to 7pm to pray for this missions trip.

Thank you to everyone who signed up for the mission trips this year. Jesus Christ will be exalted as we serve Him in Miami and throughout the world. There’s still much to do. Just because you can’t go on the mission trip doesn’t mean that you can’t be part of the team. There are many “behind the scenes” activities that go into planning and executing a successful missions trip. If you would like to act as “home base” for one of our teams this year then please email us at missions@calvarykendall.com to find out how you can get involved.

This Wednesday, April 8, we have a special guest here at Calvary Chapel Kendall. John Bonner and his     daughter, Michelle, will be joining us. Calvary Chapel Kendall has been a longtime supporter and friend of  John and his ministry in Peru. John is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Lima, Peru, and Director of Calvary Chapel Bible College in Lima, Peru. His wife, Pilar, teaches Bible classes to women at the Bible College.

John has been with Calvary Chapel for more than 20 years as a pastor, a missionary, an author, and now as director of CCBC Lima. He and Pilar were sent as missionaries to Lima, Peru in 1999. Also serving with them are their three children Michelle, Jason, and Joshua.

Pilar was born in Durango, Mexico and has known the Lord nearly thirty years. As well as being a missionary and John’s wife, she is also a full-time homemaker, teacher, and mother.

He will be there for their spring semester, aside from the bible college classes, he will also be participating in outreaches on a weekly basis, on a mid term missions trip to a neighboring country, and he will be staying for the Youth Missions trip to Peru from June 13-20. Pray for Joey’s studies, his safety, and for the Lord to use him on his outreaches.
