Calvary Elizabeth believes in sharing Christ’s love with others around the world. Currently, Calvary Elizabeth supports these missionaries:
Steve & Shyrel Osborn with Love the Child
Amor del Niño
Love the Child (Amor del Niño) is a private Christian orphanage that provides comprehensive care and developmental support for abandoned, orphaned, abused, and special needs infants in Guatemala. The private home was founded after Shyrel Osborn, who had spent several years working private and government orphanages throughout Guatemala, witnessed that many orphanages were limited in their ability to care for the intense needs of newborns. Shyrel was inspired to create an orphanage that provided every child the family environment they need to flourish.
Love the Child has created a unique, family–like atmosphere in which to care for these precious children. They currently care for around 50 children, from newborns to 5 years old. The majority of the children are under 3 years old. The home receives an average of one newborn per week.
Their goal is to enable these children, through loving relationships with caring adults and with one another, to develop into healthy and complete image bearers of God who know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and who will have a positive effect on their culture and their world.
Since Guatemala closed international adoptions in 2007, Love the Child has focused on advocating for national adoptions. Since 2013, more than 25 children have been adopted each year into loving Guatemalan families.
Beyond A Bike
Empowering communities by mobilizing wheels of hope and words of change through bicycles and scripture
Beyond A Bike is partnering with Rwandan communities and evolving bicycles into wheels of hope and scripture into words of change, empowering people to transform their future. Beyond A Bike is focused on mobilizing people so they can travel further and transport more through bicycles.
Bicycles are fun to ride, but for so many people in this world, one bike can completely change the lives of an entire community. In Rwanda, housing is often far away from schools and markets; even water sources are not always nearby, causing people to have to walk several miles to access these things. Imagine…a single mom being able to transport her young children to and from school on a bicycle, instead of having to walk for hours and hours to make sure they have an opportunity to learn. A hungry family sending someone to the store miles away and being able to bring home enough food to feed them all. A neighbor being able to help a friend in need of a ride to get some water. To these people, a bicycle isn’t just a fun thing to ride…it is a symbol and a means of hope for a better life.
Far Reaching Ministries
Far Reaching Ministries (FRM) and Far Reaching Ministries Aviation (FRMA) continue to focus on providing discipleship, followed by providing humanitarian resources relief. This includes providing education to the poor and persecuted people in various nations throughout the world. FRM’s mission is to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost and dying of the world, with discipleship as the primary vehicle. Together, FRM and FRMA accomplishes this through evangelism, addressing audiences of all sizes (from evangelical crusades to one-on-one relationships), planting and establishing churches, as well as the founding Bible schools.
FRM and FRMA resources are similarly utilized to rescue and prevent the suffering and exploitation of vulnerable communities by assisting to rebuild lives after facing religious persecution, violence, ethnic cleansing, rape, abduction, torture, and humanitarian crises caused by civil war. FRM and FRMA serves the afflicted, the starving, those enslaved by human traffickers, the ill or dying by bringing aid for their physical needs, but most importantly, fulfilling their spiritual needs.
Including all field posts, FRM and FRMA currently operates in twenty-eight countries around the world. Field posts are managed and staffed by a small number of expatriate missionaries and/or pastors, and a large
number of national workers trained by FRM. In doing so, the scope and impact increases exponentially. All staff members are trained to train others and encouraged to “work themselves out of a job.”
The Frey Family with La Fuente Ministries

Jeremiah and Kelley Frey have been missionaries in Mexico for more than 18 years. Jeremiah worked at a children’s home and planted a church in the northern state of Tamaulipas before moving to Guadalajara. They were teachers for several years, helping many missionaries learn the Spanish language. Together they have planted two churches in Guadalajara, Jalisco with plans to plant more. They believe that God works through His church to reach a world that desperately needs to know Him. They are firmly committed to building strong churches where entire families can experience the life that God always planned for them.
