Personal favorite verse:
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.

Chapel of the Doves





Mission:

Love alone for Jesus Christ is the motivation behind our missionary thrust and answering that commission He gave in Matthew 28:18-20 is at the heart of Chapel of the Doves. God’s order in Mark 10:13-16 excites us and moves us to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to the next generation. Whether its across the streets or across the islands – our desire is to bring the good news to those who have not heard through the children. We believe that the only true basis of Christianity is His (Agape) love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.



Vision:

Every child should know the love of Christ through His word, hence, the entire Bible will be taught to the child. We want each child to be ministered to in a a manner that allows for them to enter into the presence of Jesus Christ. To that end, there are classes for all ages (3 levels). the curriculum we teach progresses through selective books of the Bible. Praise and worship songs, memory verses, Bible stories, crafts and games are used to instill joy in the knowledge of the scriptures. Praise reports and games are given by the children right after the praise and worship, then the study of the word. In short, Chapel of the Doves is actually a children’s church.

GO BACK TO THE HOME PAGE

The Hospital Ministry is comprised of a group of 20+ church members who are eager to share the Word of God. Every Sunday at 2:00 pm the team gather at the small pavilion located just outside the local government hospital for a moment of prayer. Immediately, the members pair up and distribute themselves into the different wards and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the patients and their “bantays” (friends or family members who help look after the patients during their confinement in the hospital).

Group prayer before going to the hospital wards...

Without any frills or fanfare they ask permission to share the Word. While one partner speaks…the other prays and intercedes. Prayer is an absolute need, for without it, from the team’s experience the sharing becomes hollow and ineffective.

The response from the patients and their “bantays” is warm and positive. Being confronted with illness, pain and uncertainty about their future, hearing the Word of God is an assurance that Someone cares for them, that there is hope and that there are also people who understand and empathize with them.





There are times when the team meet great resistance, but through continuous prayer, they are emboldened to stand their ground and continue with their gentle sharing. Patients and their families who find themselves in a strange environment and who have no control over their situation bring about behavior and emotions that are far from normal. With the leading of the Holy Spirit, the Hospital Ministry Team enters each ward with great sensitivity to the needs of the patients and their respective families who are under great stress and trauma.


The Hospital Ministry is led by Dory Moncal . They meet every Sunday at 2 pm to do visitation at the local government hospital.

If you have a heart for sharing and ministering to those who are experiencing injury or illness please contact the church office at these numbers:

SYNOPSIS:

The name Bezalel (Hebrew בְּצַלְאֵל – “beZel El”, transcribed as Betzalel and most accurately as B’tzalel) is taken from the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, which means “in the shadow of God”. BEZALEL is the name of the chosen chief architect of the desert Tabernacle. In Exodus 31: 1- 6 the Lord said to Moses,

“See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts — to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you…”

OUR CONVICTION

WE acknowledge that

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father
of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (James 1:17)

WE acknowledge that

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully
administering God’s grace in its various forms.” (1Peter 4:10)

WE acknowledge that

In Jesus, “we are chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him
who works out everything in conformity
with the purpose of His will …” (Ephesians 1:11)

ALL for the praise of His glory.

OUR MISSION:

In obedience to the Lord’s calling —

• WE offer ourselves as an extension of the Lord’s hand to do HIS will in assisting the church and its different ministries. We hope to be of help by providing the various ministries information, guidance, ideas and skills they may need to maximize the effectiveness of their creative and art projects;

• we would like to teach and to share to those who display an interest in gaining the knowledge and skills for creating art in its various forms;

• we will encourage one another to devote ourselves in reaching out – to help others discover and develop their gifts of the arts through the power of the Holy Spirit.

• WE commit ourselves to serve others as a privilege of the Lord’s calling, always dwelling “in the shadow of God” upon Whom all things are possible.

OUR VISION:

In prayer —

WE desire GRACE from the Lord that we may become a blessing to the church and its various ministries;

WE desire WISDOM from the Lord that our teaching others on the gifts HE has given will bear much fruit for the glory of HIS Kingdom;

WE desire HOPE from the Lord that others may see the fullness of their gifts through the power of the Holy Spirit and use them for HIS glory;

WE desire HUMILITY from the Lord that we may create works of art as an expression of the beauty of worship, proclaiming the glory of God;

WE desire ACCEPTANCE from the Lord that our service may be a fragrant offering sweet and pleasing to HIM;

ABOVE ALL, We desire MERCY from the Lord that we will remain faithful to our calling until HE returns.

VERSE:

Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts — to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you…” (Exodus 31: 1- 6)

This is the welcome letter the campers received from Glen and Abba Tantio, a young couple who are youth ministry leaders in Calvary Chapel Dumaguete.



LIVINGSTONES YOUTH MINISTRY OF CALVARY CHAPEL DUMAGUETE

WELCOMES YOU TO YOUTH CAMP 2009!

Dear Camper,



I want you to know from the start that we are so excited you are here! You may be here for the first time and not too sure what to expect. You may have come unwillingly, or you may have come before and are expecting more of  the same. Whatever it may be, God has brought you here for a purpose. He wants to speak to you. I encourage you to lay all your expectations aside and be open to whatever the Lord may want to do in and through you this week.

God desires that you would know Him not just as some spiritual force or creator but as a loving, caring Father who loves you so much that He sent His only Son Jesus to die for your sins. This intimacy is only possible through Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.

My prayer is that through this Camp God would develop in you an unquenchable hunger and thirst for more of Him. I pray you will surrender your life to Him and allow Him to transform you by His awesome power.

We have an exciting week ahead of learning, worship, fun activities and building new friendships so don’t miss out by holding back. Let go and let God have His way! I promise…you will never be the same again!


In His Grip,



Glen and Abba Tantio

Congrats to Glen and Abba on the new addition to
their family! Zar is now a ‘Kuya’ to baby Selah…
