About Calvary Missions

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

Testimony from January 2008

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

Touching the Poor

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.

Mission Trips

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: 

Get your passport as soon as possible.
Complete Foundations for Power Ministry and Ministry Team Training Part One. (Contact the church for seminar dates or check the conference information on our web site.)
Pray about where the Lord would have you to go on a trip.
Stay abreast of trip announcements via Calvary's web site, announcement sheet, missions updates, etc.
Let Calvary's Missions Coordinator know that you are interested in going on a trip.
Complete a trip application packet as soon as the trip is announced.

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.
