Global Evangelism Teams
Acts 1:8

"…but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."


Consistent with Acts 1:8 and the mission and vision of Calvary Bible Church, and to effectively reach our world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we have divided the world into five regions each represented by a team. The Regional Teams are overseen by the Leadership team consisting of the Associate Pastor of Evangelism and the Deacon of Global Evangelism. We have also formed specialty teams to support the overall Global Evangelism Team (GET) in their areas of expertise.

REGIONAL TEAMS: The purpose of the Regional Teams is to oversee and coordinate the evangelism activities of Calvary Bible Church within their respective regions and to provide overall care for the Calvary Bible Church missionaries and other global partners within their regions. Care includes, but is not limited to, regular prayer support and communication, ongoing and discretionary financial support recommendations, strategic partnership activities such as short-term trip opportunities, goals and strategy development, and home assignment ministry. Each regional team consists of one team leader, one team co-leader, and at large members as needed.

  Jerusalem - Greater Fox Valley Regional Team

The purpose of the Greater Fox Valley Regional Team is to develop and implement strategies for reaching the lost in the greater Fox Valley and to equip the body of believers at Calvary Bible Church to be evangelists within their spheres of influence. Ministries this team is currently involved with are Free Oil Changes for Singles/Seniors and Military Wives; Free Rummage Give-Away for Singles/Military Families; Free Leaf Raking Ministry; Parade Give-Aways; and Free Car Washes to the Community.

  Ends of the Earth - Asia & Australia Regional

Can you imagine what it would be like if you had never heard of Jesus and never had a Bible to read of His sacrifice on your behalf? There are still many indigenous people groups in the remote parts of Asia that have never heard of the name of Jesus or the gospel of God’s grace and most of those groups do not have Gods written word in their own language. Disciples of Jesus in many parts of Asia still suffer greatly because of their commitment to Christ and their faithfulness to the gospel message. This team of dedicated volunteers provides practical, emotional, spiritual and prayer support to our missionaries serving in Asia. Perhaps you too could join this caring group of individuals. Missionaries that are supported by the Asia and Australia Regional Team are:

Rich & Karen Brown - New Tribes Mission, Tribal Church Planting, Indonesia
Alex & Chris Kuhlow - The Evangelical Alliance Mission (TEAM), Faith Academy School, Philippines
Lori Morley - New Tribes Mission, Bible Translation and Literacy Training, Papua New Guinea
Daryl and Mary Pfantz - Wycliffe Bible Translators, Bible Translation and Mentoring, Papua New Guinea
International Justice Mission - IJM.org Website
Others in Asia and Austrailia - We have other missionaries serving in Asia and Australia. For the sake of their safety and security, we are unable to list them here. Please pray for them as well.
