News From The Founder: Melvin Minitor Sr.
Calvary Road News February 09
All of us at Calvary Road
Ministry want to give thanks to each and everyone for their continued prayers
and
Dad, Rev. Minitor, is doing better as his pain medicines have
been greatly reduced and his pain threshold has become higher, in that he can
deal with it better than before, the Lord's working through him every moment.
I'm happy to say he has not had a fall in over 3 months! That is a major
improvement, a miracle right before our eyes! A little spark of his former self
has returned! Dad
was so thankful and happy to be back in the fields witnessing with the guys, and
when he prays that old-self takes over and you can feel the rumble of the
presence of the Lord coming through him! We are expanding the Calvary Road office and moving it out of the house and into an office 2 blocks away. This will allow us room to provide better training programs and services to the people. The office will be located at 3056 Augusta Rd., where we will have more room and better access for other supported ministries to pick up tracks and Bibles.
Brother Marion Malcom who
has been with Calvary Road Ministries for over 14 years, will be running the
office along with myself. We thank you for your prayers as we go through this
change, may it be of help to those in need.
Your Brother in Christ, You are invited to join us for our Wed. night visitation to visit Spanish groups. For more information, contact us at the below address. Email: preacherminitor@calvaryroad.net Calvary Road Ministries PO Box 246 Langley, South Carolina 29834

With many of our people out for work, we must remind ourselves what the true gift is about; Sharing and Caring, God’s love for us. For that reason, he sent his son. We must come together as a community and support one another. First, I wish to give you an update on dad. He is holding his own and the doctors have cut back his pain medicines from over six pain pills per day to one. He has not fallen in past two months and able to get in and out of the bathtub on his own. He is still confused on the current date but not lost sight on Jesus. Nor has he not stopped praying for the ministry, lost souls and as to who is working in the field. As a number of you know, I own a video production company and currently spending 10 days a month working on a film project in the Scottsdale, Az. area. Because of dad, I am traveling back and forth each month. I wish to thank the family and friends who are helping to look after dad and want you to know, you are welcome to visit him. He needs your prayers and support. With that being said, we have a brother we are praying with concerning handling the day-to-day work in the mission field. We need your help; your prayers and we are looking for workers to train in the field. We have taken on a new mission work in Kenya and sending them Bibles and tracks for their people. Also, we have a large inventory of tracks that we need to get out in various languages. If you have a need for some with your work, please contact us and we will be happy to send them free of charge. Congratulations to Kevin Sheppard as he graduates from Victory Baptist College and prepares to go into the mission field. Kevin has worked and continues to work in the field with us.

Also, I wish to thank everyone who sent cards/letters and those who came to the hospital to visit me during my 5 ½ week stay. I am thankful for the Christian doctors and nurses who cared for me. These people work hard to see that our veterans received the best of care. It was a wonderful feeling to have nurses come into my room and say ‘preacher I want to pray with you’. There are a lot of migrant workers in the camps picking peaches at this time. We’ve seen thousands of them accept Jesus as their personal Savior as we’ve worked these camps over the years. We invite you to join us as we work the camps each week. We want to thank you and your church for your continued prayers and support as we continue to spread the gospel of Christ. It is with you support that we are purchasing another van to provide transportation to the workers to church. Your Servant, Melvin Minitor Sr. Email: preacherminitor@calvaryroad.net Calvary Road Ministries PO Box 246 Langley, South Carolina 29834

This month, we ask your prayers for our Founder Melvin Minitor Sr.. He’s been in the hospital recovering from a fall for over two weeks. He is expected to be in the hospital for another three to five weeks. He is working to regaining his strength and going to P.T. daily. In the hospital, he continues to witness to the nurses, doctors and other patients around him. The doctors recommended he consider going to the nursing home and take it easy. Dad replied, ”There is no retirement doing the Lords work. There are people who need to hear the word of Christ.” Dad prays daily that God will touch other hearts and lead them to join in Calvary Road’s mission of working with the Spanish in the mission field. Our workers continue in the fields witnessing at migrant camps and visiting churches and are willing to help train others. Dad has ask that we send out the Salvation Plan DVD’s in hopes someone’s heart will be touched and join in winning the lost souls to Jesus. We need your prayer as we work to reach souls for Jesus. Pray for our workers and for Dad that the healing will continue and he can return to the mission field. In His Service, Mel Minitor Jr. Please feel free to email dad a message at: Brother Melvin Minitor Email: preacherminitor@calvaryroad.net * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
April, 2008 Jesus said in Mark 16:15 “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” This command is to me, to you and your church. We have people all around our churches that are in need and starved for the gospel of Christ. There are a number of Spanish all around our area that need to hear the plan of salvation. Bro. Marion Malcom from our ministry recently went into the LightStream studio with Mel Jr. and created a 2 DVD set of the Salvation Plan we use. It is in English and Spanish. We hope that you will use this program to learn for use to witness to both English and Spanish speaking people. Included with the DVD set is our lesson guide in both English and Spanish. It is our prayer this program will assist you in leading souls to Jesus Christ. If you will write us requesting the Salvation Plan DVD set, we will be glad to send you this material free of charge. We have included with this newsletter a DVD of a recent service at Providence Baptist Church, in Augusta Ga. We are thankful to have you and for Providence as sponsors of Calvary Road Ministry. We pray that the worship program will be a blessing to you! We need your prayer as we work to reach souls for Jesus. Pray for our workers and me. Your Servant,
Brother Melvin Minitor
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * November 2007 Calvary Road team members are out every week sharing the Gospel in Spanish speaking communities. As we are invited into these homes, the team busies itself giving away tracts, study material, and New Testaments. Then, with their permission, a clear presentation of the Gospel message is given with an invitation to receive Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior. I was very specially blessed last week. My team was visiting door to door the evening of Halloween in a densely populated Spanish mobile home park. Many homes were preparing for many visiting children with their trick or treat bags in hand. With my coat pocket filled with candy we knocked on the door of the first home. The couple was very polite and invited us into their living room. After receiving the gifts of tracts and Bibles, we were given permission to present the Gospel. They listened carefully as the message was presented in their language. Both of them were deeply moved and, there in their living room they prayed asking God for forgiveness and salvation. My, what a joy it was to share in this experience!! Just then, nearly a dozen kids showed up at the door for candy. Perfect timing; yes, God’s timing is always perfect. The opportunity is great to reach the Spanish community. New families are moving into the area very quickly. We are training workers as I write this letter. A DVD will be available soon of the Gospel Presentation Training Class. It is my prayer that it will help you in your efforts to reach the Spanish community. Thank you for your gifts of money and prayer. By God’s power many are being reached. Our prayers are with you for a blessed Thanksgiving holiday! I have physical needs in this old body. Please pray that I can keep on going in these last days.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * August 2007 There are many Spanish-speaking souls in this country. We need more workers to help us reach these folks. We will train workers to help reach these souls. Let us know if you are interested or have anyone in your church that may be interested in one of our classes. The Calvary Road Spanish mission team members have prayed with many from Mexico and Guatemala this year. Thank you for your prayers and support. There are more Spanish speaking people than we can reach!! You are invited to join us for our Wed. night visitation to visit Spanish groups. For more information, contact us at the below address. You may order my sermons free of charge, from the Calvary Road Broadcast, ”Jesus Is Coming Soon” on CD by writing to the below address. We pray it is a blessing to you! We do not charge for any of our materials. It is your donations that help keep our ministry going. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * June 2007
