MISSIONS MINISTRY
About this ministry:
​
Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you" Matthew 28:19-20
Our desire to partner with like minded ministries and missionaries in accomplishing this great commission within the
Treasure Valley and beyond. We accomplish this through financial support, helping fill practical needs, and being an available resource to other gospel centered ministries.
Below are the supported ministries and church plants of Calvary Chapel Kuna
Pastor Brent and Hope Harrell:
​
In 1996, Brent, took a short-term mission trip to Europe, and stayed behind in Motebelluna to help plant Italy’s first Calvary Chapel. A compassion, concern, and calling for Italy grew and in 1999 the Harrells moved to Rome to plant a Bible-teaching church with the goal of taking God’s Word and the gospel of grace to the lost. Alongside their ministry in Italy, Pastor Brent is actively involved in ministry opportunities in Uganda and Kenya.
Pastor Brian and Cynthia Fouts:
​
While studying at Calvary Boise’s Ministry Discipleship School, Brian and Cynthia felt God calling them to be foreign missionaries. As they prayed for God’s will, He focused them on Romania where they moved in 2005. If you were to ask a group of average Romanians if they are Christian, they would respond with, “Of course we are. We are Romanian.” About 87% of the population is Romanian Orthodox, but their religion is more a social identity than a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. In this warm, welcoming culture it is vital that missionaries get to know individuals personally. With that in mind, Brian and Cynthia Fouts relocated to Bistrita, a north-central city with a population of about 80,000 to plant a church and begin to make an impact within this community. Brian also serves as the director of the humanitarian association New Beginnings.
Send Hope Now:
​
In 1989, Send Hope Now began bringing HOPE to s one of the world's poorest people - slums dwellers in Bangalore, India. It all started when Guna, their first native pastor, got connected with a church in the Treasure Valley and began receiving support to care for people in need. Since then, Send Hope Now has expanded its reach to focus on four main programs.
Homes:
Homes of Hope provide care and safe spaces for orphaned, sick, and vulnerable children. We believe that every child should have a roof over their head, three nutritious meals a day, a good quality education, and a support system of loving, caring mentors. We show them the love of Jesus and teach them Christian discipleship. We also provide support for the HIV/AIDS-impacted children in our homes who require specialized care, medication, and health monitoring.
​
Outreach:
Outreach to communities is the heart of what we do in India and we couldn’t do it without a committed team of pastors and evangelists. All of the work we are able to accomplish throughout India is conducted directly through their hands, whether it is planting churches, sharing the Gospel, teaching educational courses, catering to those in need, leading humanitarian projects, or running our Homes of Hope.
​
Provision:
Our various provision programs cater to those who have been deemed unclean, untouchable, and undesirable in Indian society—the widows, lepers, HIV/AIDS-impacted, and the poor. We believe in following the example of Jesus in caring for “the least of these” by providing much-needed physical provisions (food, water, supplies, etc.) to improve their livelihoods, as well as sharing the good news of the gospel message.
​
Education:
Send Hope Now has a desire to raise up generations of educated youths and young adults who follow Jesus and would not otherwise have the opportunity to learn. We do everything in our power to support our children and others in the local communities through college, trade school, and job skill training. By setting them up for success early on through education, we give them hope for a future outside the grasp of poverty.
​
Calvary Chapel Kuna supports four pastors through Send Hope. Three are located in region of Varanasi and one is located in the Andhra Pradesh.
