A Building for Calvary Chapel Belém
Hello! We would like to ask if you will join us as we pray about taking a step of faith and renting a building to be our home base for our new church plant and its ministries here in Belém, Brazil. Our church, Calvary Chapel Belém, currently meets every Sunday in a park in the middle of the city. Every Sunday morning and afternoon this park is transformed into a large fair, with vendors and different cultural exhibits drawing large crowds.
A difficult, but fruitful time serving in Belém...
It has been a difficult, yet encouraging and growing season for us serving in Belém, Pará, Brazil.

Endings and Beginnings for the Fox Family
For those of you who are keeping up with us, praying with and for us, messaging us, and financially supporting us we say, "Thank you!" Our work here in Belém would be impossible without you all. There are so many things we wish we could tell you all as we finish two years now as foreign missionaries...such as the many ups and downs of missionary life
Please join us in prayer and praises...
Things are moving ahead here for the new church plant Calvary Chapel Belem, and our human trafficking ministry, Proverbs 24:11 and we wanted to briefly share with you all what's developing: There is a building in the heart of downtown Belem, near where we had hoped the new church would be, that had been for sale by a former missionary group here.
