Friday Night Harvest Crusade Witnessing Night


July 27th, E3G and some others in the fellowship went to THE CROSSINGS IN CORONA (a shopping center and Movie theater) to pass out and invite people to the Harvest Crusade which is happening in a week.

It was such a blessing, because the place was packed with Teenagers... especially since the new SIMPSON MOVIE opened on that day. The youth who went, and the others from the fellowship we very enthusiastic to share God's love and what He will be doing at Angel Stadium.

Afterwards the "Team" headed to "CHICKFILA" for a time of fellowship. It was a gret way to end such a blessed night.



Please pray for the Harvest Crusade as the Lord wants and will be doing something great.. as He pours out His love and grace on the 3 nights the Harvest Crusade is being held at ANGEL STADIUM. And pray for those that received an invite last nigh!!!

A Day in TJ


July 21st a group from church headed out to Tijuana Mexico to hang out with each other, show Ryo (who is from Okinawa Japan, Pictured far top left pic and far left in the picture) another country, and be used by God to share His love with those they met.

It was truly a blessing to go on this trip because, everything they set out to do, the Lord blessed them with doing it. They headed out to Mexico around 9:00am from Corona and arrived inside Mexico around 11:30. Once in TJ (Tijuana) they got some great authentic Mexican food, and started shopping.

One thing they desired to do while in TJ was to pass out tracks and fliers to let others know about Christ and His love. However they did not have any, but they believed in faith that the Lord would open doors for them to share God's love. Well... while walking in TJ... they came to Calvary Chapel TJ. They decided to check it out.. and make long story short... They met some people from CC TJ who asked them if they could pass out fliers for an outreach they where holding the following Saturday. This was an answer to prayer.. because they where up for the challenge.. and it was totally cool, because Evangelina stepped up to the plate, and shared Christ love with all the merchants in Spanish.

So pray for the outreach being held July 28th. This outreach is actually pretty big, one in which they are actually closing down the whole street CC TJ is on. God wants to do something great.. and the group that went out to TJ was totally blessed that they could be apart of it in some little way.


Afterwards, they headed back across the border to San Diego (It took 2 hours) , and they had dinner at Seaport Village. The day was such an adventure and a blessing.

One person, who was blessed to go to TJ was Ryo. She was excited to go to another country and see Mexico. On July 23rd she left to go back home to Okinawa. Please continue to pray for her, as she heads back to Oki, to go back to school. (Below is a picture of Ryo and her mother Akiko at LAX on the day she left.)

A New Sports Star Has Arrived

A new Sports Superstar has come to L.A. If you haven't heard David Beckham is now playing for the Galaxy! The Galaxy are apart of the MLS "Major League Soccer"!!! Everyone is hoping this will finally bring Soccer... of Football...as the rest of the world calls it.. to the American Public. And by the looks of the news Media that Beckham is drawing it looks like, bringing him might just do that.

On July 16th, Beckham made his first appearance onto the Galaxy Home field at the HOME DEPOT CENTER, for his first practice with the Galaxy. A couple people from CC Living Water as well as Ryo (who is from Okinawa and loves soccer), where able to attend this practice.

It was a blast for those who went, because they where able to watch scrimmage games, as well as Chelsey (a famous soccer team from England), practice... because they are have the "WORLD SERIES OF SOCCER" here in Los Angeles.

Just the interesting thing is... if the World gave as much attention to a true Superstar... like, lets say... Jesus... as they do with sports figures....man how much would our lives changes... and the world!!!
For bodily exercise profits little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 1 Timothy 4:8

2007 Rhythm Unity


July 14th, CC Living Water held 2007 Rhythm Unity. It was totally a blessing. Besides seeing some great b-boi's do their thing, the Lord showed Himself faithfull as Young Men and Women came to the saving knowledge of Christ.

It was great to see the body come together and work together to see Jesus Christ proclaimed. George and Jessie both shared out of the Word.. while Mike Ochoa and His crew came out with the 1st place torphy's!!

Please pray for those who came to know the Lord and their new relationship with Him. Also pray for the next Rhythm Unity.

Cirtus Jr. High July Ministry


Once a month we have the opportunity to ministry at Citrus Jr. High in Corona for their Christian Club. It is always such a blessing to go. This time was a little more special simply because it was the first Christian Club meeting for this new school year. It was great to see the new 7th graders, who just graduated from Elementary. As well as seeing last years 7th graders who are now the big guys on campus.


Daniel and Jon led the Club in a awesome and blessed time of Worship. Then after Worship, they helped teach the Club a famous and E3G classic game "AMIEBA". Then Jon shared on "NEW BEGINGS".

Please pray for this school and its Christian Population as we know that being a youth is not easy to live for Christ. God has so much in store for this school, we believe.. and it is truly a blessing to be a part of it.

They Just Keep on Coming



We continually have people visiting our church from around the world. And July seems to be no exception. 3 girls are down: 2 of them attend OCSI (Okinawa Christian School International), and another is a graduate of OCSI and now attends the University of Hawaii.


We have been so blessed that they are here.. as they had the chance to stay at Lina and Jon's house for a bit. Ryo and Lisa (Pictured in the middle top picture:Ryo is far right, Lisa is middle) are down in California to attend a Soccer Camp that BIOLA University (Bible Institute of Los Angeles) is holding. Pray for them please. Lisa is going to be a senior this year, and as she has been down; this has been a time which she is seeking the right college for her. Pray also for Ryo as she will be a Junior at OCSI, but she is already planning and praying for God's guidance in the right College. They both love soccer, and would love to play for God and for school, when they attend College.


Judy(who is pictured in the middle picture far left) is a graduate of OCSI (class of '02) and is now attending UH. Pray for her, as she is from Taiwan and her family does not know the Lord. She came to know the Lord during her last year at OCSI, and now she loves the Lord like no other. Pray that she remain focused. She came down to Calie to just visit and take some time off before she goes back to work and school.


Saturday 7/7/07, Lina, Jon, Kailey, and Eli where able to take them around Los Angeles and see Hollywood and all its "glory" (with a few crazy people); as well as they took them to a Dodger Baseball game. They all had a great and blessed time hanging out and fellowshiping with one another. We hope that we will see them and hangout with them soon again.(whether in Oki, Calie, Hawaii or Heaven).


Sunday 7/8/07 Lina and Jon felt like parents as they dropped Ryo and Lisa off at BIOLA for soccer camp. Afterwards they took Judy to LAX where she caught her flight back to Hawaii.

Melinda Leaves us for a Time!!!?

Melinda Cano has left California to and headed to Arizona to go to school. Please keep her in your prayers.. as she has been a dear sister in the Lord to many of us at CC Living Water and especially in E3G.



If you don' t know her.. she is pictured above in the Red, along with her younger sister. She has just graduated Corona High School. She has been attending E3G for a number of years... and is going to live with her aunt as she attends school in Arizona.


She is much loved and dearly missed.. and we are all awaiting August when she is supposed to come down for a short time for her Birthday.

June Friday Night Fellowship


Every Friday Night at 7pm the Youth of Calvary Chapel Living Water meet for a night of Fun, Fellowship and the Word of God. June 29th was no exception, except they also watched a movie. Specifically Noah's Arc. This is a movie about a pro surfer who has come to know the Lord and now is doing all he can to let others know of the Love of Christ. It was truly a great night in which the Lord worked through the movie... as well as the Word shared by Jon.

This was also a special night, because our dear Sister in the Lord Melinda (who just graduated from Corona High School) was leaving the following day for Arizona, where she was going to go to school. E3G was able to pray with her one last time, until the Lord allows here to come back, and fellowship with her.. as well as take her to In-N-Out one last time.

Pray for her as this is definitely a Venture of Faith.

E3G Annual Beach Bash '07



ON the 15th of June, E3G headed out to the beach to hold their annual End of School Beach Bash. The theme was "Pressing On" taken from Phil 3. It was a awsome and blessed time as CC Creekside also joined in the festivities.
There was plenty of hot dogs, volleyball games, and God's Word to go around!!
Continue to pray for the Youth as they Press On in what God has called them, especially for the Seniors who have graduated!!

Jon & Lina Get Married

June 10th, 2007 saw Evangelina take Jonathan's hand in Marriage. It was truly a beautifull and blessed wedding. It was held in the canyon in between the San Bernadino Mountains, where God's beauty was seen everywhere. Jon and Lina where so blessed in how it came all together, they know it was only from God. After the ceremony everyone got their groove on.. even Zach and Hannah Ruiz cut the rug.. with some moves they practiced in Okinawa.

The following week, June 16th they went on their honeymoon. They spent it at Niagara Falls Canada. They had a great time as they saw God's powerfull hand in making these powerfull, and beautifull falls. They where able to head to Toranto Canada to see the Dodgers play as well.. which as a great treat for Jon.

Please continue to pray for them as they are beging their new life in which they desire God to be the center of it.
