Dear Pastor Todd and Calvary EFC,
Thank you so much for all of the help you have been to us
in our transition from the pastorate to mission work in the
Dominican Republic. Specifically, we want to thank you for
the team that recently came here. They made a great impact
here, both to Iglesia Nueva Vida and to us. In many ways it
felt like we had been fighting a battle and our resources were
depleting and then in the distance, we heard the trumpet call
of the reinforcements that are coming. In the old days...it
was called "the cavalry.” And they charged in and gave help
where it was needed. We felt
blessed to have the “Calvary
Cavalry" here!

It's LOVE in Every Language
By Roger Warndahl
Ken & Jessica Olson |
If you lived in Rochester during the mid 1980’s, perhaps you
had the occasion to meet or talk with Ken Olson. Ken
attended the then named Rochester Community College
and later worked at both IBM and Mayo. In 1989, Ken joined
Wycliffe Bible Translators. His work with Wycliffe was first
in the Democratic Republic of Congo (previously Zaire) on
the Mono language translation project. Mono is a language
spoken by about 65,000 people in the northwest part of
Congo. When civil war broke out in Congo between 1996
and 2001, Ken earned his Ph.D. in linguistics. He also spent
time in the Central Africa Republic teaching at the Bangui
Evangelical School of Theology.

Ministering to Missionaries and Church Leaders
By Ruth Way
Charley & Cheryl Warner |
When Charley and Cheryl Warner went to Europe as new
missionaries in 1987, they kept a low profile and could not
even live in their target country, the Soviet Union. Based in
England the first four years, they traveled in and out of the
Soviet Union and Eastern Europe working in theological
education by extension (TEE). Charley would meet with
groups of students who were taking courses designed to train
pastors and lay leaders. Cheryl was a curriculum editor. At
that time it seemed incredible that these countries would
soon open up and that missionaries would be able to obtain a
religious visa to live inside the Soviet Bloc.

Patience and Persistence Pay Off in Montreal
By Jeanne Allen
Steve & Jane Wheeler |
Steve and Jane Wheeler are church planting,
leadership, and coaching missionaries in metro
Montreal, Quebec, where only 0.6 percent of the
population is evangelical, similar to countries in
the 10/40 window. Montreal is the strategic
doorway to reaching the French Canadian
Que’be’cois people group, who are challenged
by humanistic cultural trends, the break-up of the
family, and despair.
