Alfonso & Elizabeth Ayala

The Ayala's are our sponsored missionaries in Belize and have been Serving Him there for over 30 years!  We partner in ministry and in mission together!
The Ayalas also coordinate specialized visiting teams, which serve churches and communities in a variety of areas—development, infrastructure building, music ministry, children’s ministry, women’s ministry, skills development, evangelism, worship, health ministry, and teaching.

Haitian Support Ministries

The Mission of Haitian Support Ministries is to worship and work together to raise successive generations of Christians who are morally just, educationally competent and socially responsible.
Haitian Support Ministries began with a short-term mission trip to Haiti in 1993. Since that time, we have continued to support Calvary Church and its ministries to the local community in Jacmel. Our primary areas of focus include Nutrition, Clean Water and Restoration Ministries.

Compassion International

When you sponsor a child, you care for and encourage them through prayer, letter writing and financial support. That support empowers a local church to individually and holistically meet their needs in a loving, safe community where they can learn, grow, play and dream.

International Justice Mission

Right now, children, women and men are being enslaved, abused and exploited.  We partner with local justice systems around the world to build safe communities, where all are protected from violence and slavery.
