In 2002 a family that was moving asked Pastor Dave Shepardson if the church could mail them a cassette tape of the message each week. That was the beginning of the Word-By-Mail ministry of Calvary Chapel Nuevo. Promoted almost entirely by word of mouth, Word-By-Mail has since mailed out or given away over 450,000 FREE CD's and DVD's, as well as having thousands of messages listened to or downloaded online. This is real, verse-by-verse Bible teaching.
