Extending the kingdom: Calvary seeks to actively demonstrate kingdom
principles beyond our walls to our community and the world. We desire to
proclaim and demonstrate God's kingdom through varying arenas including
intercession, spiritual warfare, evangelism, missions, and an expression of
apostolic and power ministries. Our desire is to know the heart of God, declare
his kingdom on earth, and actively prepare for Christ to rule and reign.
On Mission: God wants us to get in on what he is doing, to bless what he is
doing. He is moving in the earth. Christ first calls us to draw near to him, to
follow him, and to cooperate with his working in and through our lives
(Matthew 4:19, 9:35-39; Philippians 2:12-13). Then, the love of Jesus propels us into the
harvest fields of our neighborhood, city, region, nation, and world
(Matthew 9:35-38, 10:1-8; Luke 9:1-2, 10:1-2; Acts 1:8). Out of intimacy with Jesus, we
are moved to touch others. Under the empowering of God's Spirit, we are enabled
to serve God's purposes in the earth.
How can you get involved? God wants us to support his cross-cultural work,
including ministry to the nations overseas. What can you do to see the desire of
Christ fulfilled in the earth? More…
Calvary Missions supports various ministries and missionaries who serve to
reach people groups throughout the earth. They need your prayer and financial

Joshua and Mandy Rushing join IHOP as intercessory missionaries
Mike Bickle explains the term "intercessory missionary:"
"We are all familiar with missionaries who focus on preaching or mercy
deeds (providing food, medical care, etc.). The Lord is calling forth a new type
of missionary that is essential to completing the Great Commission. What is an
intercessory missionary? An intercessory missionary's primary focus is changing
the spiritual atmosphere over cities through 'intercessory worship' (Psalm 149).
This ministry provides one of the Scriptural requirements for God to release the
fullness of revival. God will not move in fullness apart from Night and Day
prayer (including regular times of fasting). The Scripture makes this abundantly
clear and history proves this without doubt. Also, Scripture declares that God
will orchestrate a mighty 'intercessory worship' movement covering the earth in
the generation the Lord returns."
Joshua and Mandy serve with the International
House of Prayer ministry in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.. Full Story…

Daniel DeJesus: An Energetic Evangelist
Daniel and Marlene DeJesus are a precious family, full
of faith and confidence in the Lord Jesus. They live what they say.
Daniel effectively and compassionately gives away the love of Christ to
those in prison, to ex-offenders who are transitioning to aftercare, and
to anyone God brings into his sphere of influence. One thing about
Daniel: you know that he is genuine in his love for God and others. That
love is contagious. The Lord has called Daniel to serve full-time in
ministering to the hurting, needy, and broken. Marlene serves as a nurse
in the Texas Medical Center. Daniel and Marlene would tell you that they
are blessed to be a blessing. Both are genuine servants of Christ who
freely give away the rich blessings of the Lord. Full Story...

God's heart is towards the poor. Jesus declared that he had come to proclaim
good news to the poor (Luke 4:18). In Deuteronomy, God declares that "there
will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded
toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land." Touching
the poor is a necessary precursor to revival, according to Isaiah 58.
Calvary Missions sows into the ministry of touching the poor in many
tangible ways. We partner with Somebody
Cares Houston (Doug Stringer), BCAM,
and other organizations, which are involved in compassion ministry as a
way to transform lives. InnerChange
Freedom Initiative is a discipleship program and after care ministry
targeted to prisoners. IFI touches and changes lives through the power
of Jesus Christ.
Calvary
is also involved globally in touching the poor through our relationships
and partnerships with different ministries. Activities which Calvary
Missions supports would include helping the poor through disaster
relief, touching the lives of orphans and children in
Guatemala
and Latvia, and supporting, encouraging, and training church leaders and pastors.

Part of our assignment at Calvary Missions is to help people get to the
mission field via short-term trips. Occasionally, Calvary Missions will sponsor
such a trip. We also recommend other ministries like Teen Mania, Windows of
Opportunity, and YWAM, for example, as avenues for participating in short-term
missions trips.
In order to participate on a trip with other ministries, please contact that
ministry directly or check their web site.
To go on a missions trip with Calvary, the best advice is to "be
prepared." Although each trip demands special preparation (which will be announced with
the trip promotional packet), the following guidelines will help you to lay a
general foundation of preparedness for going on a trip with Calvary Missions, so
that you can respond quickly as the Lord opens doors
of opportunities:
Some of our trips come together rather quickly, so following these steps will
prepare you to enter the process for being considered as a potential missions team member.

You can be the hands of God to heal and deliver those who are hurting
and lost without God.
Mission

give of their time to minister on mission trips.
Ann frequently leads teams in ministry overseas.
Please pray about joining one of these teams who will be taking Jesus to

these trips is around $ 2,500. The costs for In His Presence Ministries
to lead the teams will be around $10,000 per trip. Email or call Ann

Please pray for these mission teams! You may also want to underwrite the
