January 2026

Dear Friends,

 

    Another quarter of a century is history, and our Lord is still the same as He has always been: Holy, Faithful, Merciful, Gracious, and always Good! 2025 was one of the most trying years for Calvary Baptist Ministries that ended up turning into one of the most blessed years we have ever seen! The Lord seems to allow us, many times, to go through situations that are out of our control so that He can remind us that He is in control! It’s not always comfortable in the moment, but it sure is a blessing to watch Him come through time and time again!

    We had a wonderful November and December to finish up the year! Christmas time is always a great time for all of us here at Calvary. It is a great opportunity for us be a witness in our community as well as an opportunity to emphasize a family atmosphere with our City of Refuge (CoR) program. We had a Christmas party where our men opened presents with our staff and church family. Several people from other churches as well as from our home church donated money and gifts for us to be able to give these gifts away to our men. Thank You to all who helped make that possible!

    As I mentioned in our last letter, we have received the money to be able to finish the project to house residents for our Phase 2 CoR program. Praise the Lord! We are hoping to be able to finish the construction by this spring. Thank You once again to all of you who have contributed to this project. We have 3 men right now who are ready to move in as soon as we are complete. 

   Please continue to pray for all of our men as there is usually a heavier influx of new men in the program at the beginning of every year. As I am writing this, we have already had 4 new men come just in the month of January. 

   We are preparing already for the summer and for all that the Lord will allow us to do for him this year! Thank You again for your continued support that allows us to “Throw a rope of hope”!

 

In Christ,
