Update from Calvary Worship Center
Church On The Street

by Logan Mitchell | June 24, 2014 1:55 AM

Written by Josh As the clock neared 4:00 in the afternoon, the Calvary Worship Center church missions trip van pulled up to a small house on the side of the road in Tucson, AZ. I stepped out of the van into the sweltering heat and grabbed a guitar from the trunk. As I walked around the side of the house, I looked into the backyard to find many chairs, diner booths, and tables scattered throughout the yard. In many of those chairs and diner booths sat homeless men and women. This was the church on the street ministry and I was about to lead them in a time of worship. I plugged the guitar into an amp that had been set out and stepped up to the provided microphone. In all honesty I was unexcited about how the songs I was preparing to play would go. Here I was about to sing somewhat popular Christian worship songs to a group of people who I didn’t even know whether or not they knew the songs, much less, the words by memory! Despite my doubt and uncertainty, God used that time of worship to soften the hearts of the people there. As I played the guitar softly, students from Calvary Worship Center came up to give testimonies, pastors spoke, and multiple people sang along to the worship songs they knew. Finally one pastor gave an altar call as the song “Break Every Chain” was played quietly in the background. Within the next few minutes, several of the homeless people raised their hands, eager to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior. I looked around the backyard of this small house to see many of the students and leaders praying for these homeless people; not only that, everyone was laughing and smiling as they conversed. As we drove away from that small house on the side of the road, there was no doubt in my mind that God had moved in the hearts of many people that day.

I wish I was on a missions trip like PPM when I was a teenager. (Long time ago.) But really enjoyed myself and see the Lord work in the lives of our students. They jumped right in and did all kinds of work for Jesus. It was all worth it, and I know God was very pleased with CWCCS Junior High Students. Well done, had fun, did not starve. Thanku PPM!
