The Bible speaks of our prayers as sweet-smelling incense before the Lord. Just like Paul asked the early church to pray for him as he preached the Gospel, our missionaries ask us and need us to pray for them. It is always wonderful to let them know that Calvary is praying. On Sunday you will hear from some of them about how meaningful your prayers have been. Once again, we invite you to make a commitment to pray. Below you will learn about some opportunities to join us in praying this year. Would you consider committing to join with one or two others to pray together for our missionaries? Let us know, and we will help connect you with others who share your burden for the nations.

Do you have a desire to be more involved in missions at Calvary? Would you like to learn first-hand about the work our missionaries are doing on a regular basis? We invite you to make a commitment to know the mission we are a part of. Missions Connect, where we have missionaries sharing their stories with us, is the first Thursday of each month. Our Calvary Missions Team, which helps plan our annual missions convention, meets on the first Saturday of every month. If you are interested in being a part of these groups, take a moment to let us know by going to https://calvary.link/missionsteam. For more information, please reach out to Pastor Ben at pasto[email protected].  

Our missionaries are incredibly grateful to know that the people of Calvary are praying for them. Beginning next Sunday, we are starting something brand new so we can pray together for our missionaries. As you commit to praying this year, would you consider joining us between services on Sunday’s at 10:00am or 12:00pm as we take 10 minutes to pray for our missionaries and nations of the world? We’ll meet right here in the front of the sanctuary for this missions prayer moment. Please direct questions and inquiries to Pastor Ben at [email protected].
