The Navigators (Connecticut)
Brandon & Ashley Wilson
In 2018 Brandon & Ashley launched a new chapter of Navigators at the University of Connecticut that’s been thriving ever since.
The Navigators is an international, Christian ministry established in 1933. Their motto is, “To know Christ, make Him known, and help others do the same.”
They do this through building Life-to-Life mentoring, or discipling, relationships among Christ followers, equipping them to make an impact on the people around them for God’s glory.
Please pray for Brandon & Ashley to continue to hear the Lord and walk in His will.
Please pray for revival on the UConn Campus!
For Zion's Sake
Brad & Marianna Antolovich (Jerusalem)
Brad met Marianna in Russia when he was serving in the mission field there. After they married, they moved to Israel desiring to be used by God to reach the Jewish people for Jesus. In 1994 God used Brad to start For Zion’s Sake, which is a thriving work to this day.
For Zion’s Sake is a humanitarian aid mission that helps Jewish people moving from Russia to Israel with food and clothing and also to find jobs. Along with the practical helps provided, Jesus Christ is being shared with thousands coming to salvation.
Please pray for the Antolovich family’s safety as they serve in the Middle East.
Please pray for continued vision for ministry and wisdom in walking our God’s will for the Jewish people!
Informed Choices Medical Clinic
Iowa City & Burlington, IA
We are incredibly blessed to partner with Informed Choices Medical Clinic! Their ministry has clinics in Iowa City and Burlington that focus on Women’s Reproductive Health and Wellness, from unplanned pregnancies too STD’s.
Informed Choices Clinic is on a mission to shine as a light for Jesus Christ in the brightest way possible! They are in the fight daily, drawing attention to God’s plan for Women’s Health and His love for all life, including Mom and baby!
Psalm 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Please pray for the amazing family that heads up these clinics, who also attend Calvary Community Church!
Please pray for more laborers to come into this field of harvest to work alongside of them as they commit to shining as lights for Jesus in our Community!
Far Reaching Ministries
Wes Bentley (South Sudan)
In 1998 Wes Bentley founded FRM / Far Reaching Ministries which is an evangelical Christian missionary and humanitarian aid organization.
Far Reaching Ministries is actively training chaplains in the South Sudan to share Jesus Christ with the Sudanese people in the war torn regions where they live. Since 1983 when the Civil War erupted there, over 2 million people have lost their lives. Countless innocent women and children have been tortured, raped and disfigured in the name of religion.
Please pray for safety for Wes, and all of the chaplains that serve so faithfully and selflessly in one of the most dangerous places on the planet.
Please pray for more laborers to come into this field of harvest.
The Little Flock
Michael & Meiyen Ohlmann (Philippines)
In 1996 Michael Ohlmann went on what was supposed to be a short term mission trip to the Philippines. When he was there, the Lord gave him a heart to stay and build a new work for Him. That work would become The Little Flock.
The Little Flock’s mission in Mindanao, Philippines exists to reach the countless street children in this incredibly poor area of the world. In their years of ministry, they have seen hundreds of children find Jesus Christ and have been blessed to disciple and house many of them.
Please pray for safety for Michael and his family as this is an area known for radical Islam.
Please pray for more caregivers to come alongside of The Little Flock to house all of the children in need.
Youth For Christ
Parnell & Norma Davis (SE Iowa)
Parnell has been involved in ministry with Calvary Community Church since 2015 when he hosted Real Talk on Enduring Word Radio. He’s been serving with Youth For Christ even longer. Parnell planted the SE Iowa Chapter in 2017 and the Lord has been using him in amazing ways ever since. He has a passion to be a witness for Jesus Christ and His Good News of Salvation to this generation.
Youth For Christ SE Iowa is very active and has seen revival in youth coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Please pray for this generation to surrender to Christ.
Please pray for the YFC staff as a whole to continue walk in the will of God.
KEWR - Enduring Word Radio
Calvary Community Church
