CALVARY MISSIONARIES
Calvary currently supports 94 missionary families on a monthly basis through the Faith Promise gifts you give through out the year. Missionaries are supported at various monthly levels based on where they are serving, their length and type of service, and financial considerations. In all cases, Calvary does not totally support the missionary. All of our missionaries are encouraged to have three to four other churches and a minimum of 40 individual supporters to help make this happen. In addition to the monthly support, Calvary sets aside and distributes to our missionaries special care in the areas of scholarships and gifts, emergency financial support, travel expenses, re-entry gifts for those of furlough, outgoing help for new missionaries leaving for the field, housing and other support as
possible.

Beyond "God Bless Our Missionaries" - Five suggestions to help you pray for your missionaries, by an anonymous missionary
1. It is not necessary that you ask God to give us good health. The important thing is that He gives us the measure of health that will best glorify Him.
2. We do not want you to pray that God will give us an easy path on the mission field and remove obstacles. Rather pray that He gives strength and grace to overcome for Him.
3. It is not so important that you pray that God should bless our activities. Ask that He censor our activities, for it is easy for time and energy to be spent on second-best things.
4. Pray that, like the Apostle Paul, we may be willing to deny ourselves in order to make our lives an example to the unbelievers. Sometimes this means forfeiting rights, privileges, and material conveniences we have taken for granted all our lives, but which are stumbling blocks to missionary service.
5. Do not pray for us as though we live on a higher plain. We can become lonely, discouraged, irritable and impatient, and we can do a lot of missionary work simply in the energy of the flesh. Pray that the love of Christ may constrain us in all that we do.
In addition to the support of our missionaries, Calvary enjoys partnerships with agencies, which allows us the opportunity to go into places and reach people where our missionaries cannot or are not currently serving. These partnerships are in media, curriculum, Bible translation and distribution, training and scholarships of nationals, building projects, and humanitarian efforts that result in evangelism and the establishment of churches in the least reached areas of the world.
