Ministry to Pray for This Week – Calvary Chapel Bacolod – Billie & Pastor Joe Rosmarino
Calvary Chapel Bacolod still remains a simple mission for the LORD, His people and His kids. Calvary Chapel is growing in the LORD, by His grace. The mission is full of American and Filipino missionaries and a bunch of children that love Jesus. Yielded to the Holy Spirit’s leading, for the glory of the LORD. Calvary Chapel is a threefold ministry; a Church fellowship, Calvary Chapel Bacolod (CCB). A Children’s Home (CCCH). And a Christian School, Calvary Chapel Christian School (CCCS).
Please pray for the ministries & missionaries that OCC supports on a monthly basis

The Heart of an Evangelist
John 3:1–3 “There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, ‘Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.’ 3 Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’“
As I think back about my conversation to accept Jesus Christ as my Savior, 42 years ago, it never would have been possible without an 11-year-old boy sharing the Gospel with me at the Von’s shopping center. He proceeded to ask me a very convicting question. He said without hesitation, if I die today am I going to Heaven or Hell? I answered and said yes, I’m going to heaven. He said, good, it’s very important to know because my only chance to receive Him is when I am alive. He told me that if I die without Jesus the only things I would have to look forward to is Hell and eternal fire! As the next six months went by, the Holy Spirit convicted me that I wasn’t going to Heaven and that scared the heck out of me. My sons godfather invited me to a Bible study where I would hear about the story of Nicodemus and the new birth, John 3:1-17. My wife Shirley and I would come to accept Jesus that very first Bible study that we would attend at the Murrieta Country Church.
Remember that God can use anyone, any age, any time, but we must be willing to do the work of an evangelist as His Spirit leads.
