Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

We at Calvary Murrieta honor our journey in missions thus far.  We have been involved in world missions for the past 32 years. We honor and esteem all of our missionaries who have served, and are currently serving, on the field. We recognize their sacrifices and commitment over the years. We also have watched these relationships move from partnerships, to family.   We will be adding to our mission’s legacy a program which we are calling Pioneer Missions. In our effort to see sustainable national churches in regions across the globe, we have decided to adopt two unreached people groups. We know that the Lord desires worshipers from every tribe and nation and we desire to see them reached.

Mission

Joining forces with like-valued partners to establish reproducing, life-transforming communities of Christ-followers among forgotten peoples.

Values

Strategic Priorities:

Focusing our efforts and resources for deep and lasting impact.

Passion for God’s Glory:

Longing to see God glorified, we willingly lay aside our safety, security, and self.

Prayer:

Pleading to the Lord of the harvest for more workers and worshipers.

Partnerships:

Partnering with like-valued organizations and ministries to continue building the Kingdom of God.

Church-Wide Participation:

Mobilizing everyone at Calvary Murrieta to embrace their unique role in the Great Commission.

Vision

We see a vision so awe-inspiring where we witness God’s fingerprints and not just our own efforts. We see the RO and H people groups being discipled, and in turn, discipling their neighbors. We see all of Calvary Murrieta  being changed by anticipating these nations standing before the throne of God. We see this vision being passed along to our children’s children if we are not able to fulfill it in our lifetime. We see our sons and daughters being sent to express both the Love and the Words of Christ. We see these unreached people groups reached.

Did you know...

That more than a billion people don’t yet have the Bible to read in their own language? The H-People of Asia are one of those “unreached” people groups.  Calvary Murrieta believes everyone deserves to have Scripture in the language they understand (their “heart language”) so that lives can be transformed through God’s Word.

Please consider these facts:
• 70% of Evangelical Christians are unaware that many people around the world have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
• There are at least 171 million people worldwide who still do not have a single verse of Scripture in their own language.
• Over 1800 people groups worldwide have still never heard the Good News in their own language, that God so loved them that He willingly gave His Son for them to be saved.

(These facts are sourced from The Seed Company 2021)

What can we do to help?

We can help by talking to our friends, family, and neighbors about the urgent need for people groups to have the Word of God translated into their own heart language.

You may ask, what is a "heart language?" It is the language you speak with your family at your home! It is the language you learned when you were young, and it is the language that comes to represents your cultural and geographic identity. God's Word is powerful and reaches the heart, but must be able to be understood, and that way is through a people’s heart language.

We have partnered with Books Unbound who created these wonderful coloring pages that represent the H-People.  Here at Calvary Murrieta, we are putting in the time to educate and speak with our youth ministries about Bibleless peoples. The two groups we currently are focusing on are the H-People and the Rohingya.

Feel free to download these coloring pages and share them with your friends to help spread awareness and to pray for the H-People.  
Thank you so much for your prayers and support.

Help us get the Bible translated for the Hanang People Group through Seed Company!

Can you imagine not having the ability to learn about Jesus through reading His Word because your language has no Bible translation? This is the current situation for the Hanang people group in Asia. We have the opportunity to help provide financially to get the Bible translated into their language. For just $35 a verse, the Hanang people can have the Bible translated into their own heart language.
The Seed Company's current project goal for the Hanang people group, is to have the entire books of Exodus, Matthew, John, and Acts translated, then audio recorded and distributed on SD cards. This process takes a lot of time and effort from everyone in the field. Your donation can help get Bible verses through the arduous process of first drafts,  team checks, comprehension testings, back translations, consultant checks, and the final MP3 audio recordings for use on SD cards for distribution. These books will help strengthen the young church that is growing among the Hanang people group.
Bible translation is a highly technical process that often takes place in some of the world's most difficult environments. Therefore, Seed Company strives to mitigate risks while maximizing the strengths of our partners so that clear, accurate translations are completed on time. Please keep Seed Company Teams in prayer!

The risks and strengths of the Hanang project are as follows:
Risks
  • Many Hanang are afraid to become Christians, not want to face opposition or rejection.
  • If a second translator cannot be found, the work may be slowed down.
  • Local authorities disrupted the first project phrase,  so team members must use extreme caution as they continue the work.
Strengths:
  • The translation need is great. The infant Hanang church is hungry for more of God's Word.
  • The team works well together, as logistics are already in place from the first project phase.
  • Local church leaders are very supportive of the team and the goals for this phase.
  • The translator is committed to seeing this project through to completion, whatever the personal cost to himself and his family.

Ready to "Adopt-A-Verse"?

You can give $35 for a verse to be translated or give any amount to the Hanang Project below, just type in the amount and choose "Adopt a Verse" under fund. Thank you for investing in eternity!

Watch this video about the history of the Rohingya People created by TRT World.

Myanmar says the Rohingya are illegal migrants from Bangladesh, but the Rohingya say they’ve lived in the region for centuries. Where did the Rohingya come, from and why are they being persecuted?

Watch the interview from Missio Nexus with Pastor Brian and Pastor Larry about Missions.

One of the chief roles of pastors is to declare the whole counsel of God to those they shepherd. If God’s plan to make disciples of all nations is the plot line of God’s counsel and will, who better than the Church’s primary preachers and teachers to inspire and influence God’s people to actively engage in Scripture’s Grand Narrative? The job of casting missions vision can and should be shared with others, but it cannot be entirely delegated. If the pastor does not plead the cause of the nations, who will? Join us for this critically important conversation as we think and talk about what it looks like to Mobilize Senior Leadership to be champions for global missions.

Organizations We Support

Here are a list of organizations we support because of their missionary work.

Free Burma Rangers

The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) is a multi-ethnic humanitarian service movement working to bring help, hope and love to people in the conflict zones of Burma, Iraq, and Sudan. Working in conjunction with local ethnic pro-democracy groups, FBR trains, supplies, and later coordinates with what become highly mobile multipurpose relief teams. After training these teams provide critical emergency medical care, shelter, food, clothing and human rights documentation in their home regions.

In addition to relief and reporting, other results of the teams’ actions are the development of leadership capacity, civil society and the strengthening of inter-ethnic unity. The teams are to avoid contact with the Burma Army or other attacking forces and operate under the protection of the ethnic resistance armies. However, they cannot run away if the people they are helping cannot escape the attacks. Men and women of many ethnic groups and religions are part of FBR.

Mercy Projects

Mercy Projects, formerly known as Eastern European Outreach (EEO), was founded in 1980 to share the gospel in restricted countries. Today our focus is child and family development, assisting vulnerable children and needy families in Ukraine, Kosovo, and Armenia. We conduct camps to share the gospel and make disciples of Jesus Christ, and we develop "in-country" ministry solutions by working with Ukrainians and local believers. Mercy Projects strives to keep vulnerable children out of institutions and have them raised in families. Monthly sponsorships provide the support needed to keep these vulnerable children in families.

Agape Internation Missions

Agape International Missions (AIM) is a Christ-led, non-denominational, not-for-profit organization that exists to glorify God through our dedicated efforts to love, protect, and care for survivors of trafficking as well as other vulnerable and exploited individuals.

Through a holistic approach of rescuing, restoring and reintegrating survivors of trafficking and preventing sexual slavery, AIM seeks to meet survivors’ spiritual, emotional, social, educational and physical needs. Our intention is that they may come to know their worth and value in Christ, develop a dependence on Him, and develop skills for a sustainable life.

Partners Relief & Development

1 in 6 children globally are living in conflict zones. They shouldn’t suffer because the adults are fighting.

We act by providing emergency relief during crisis events. Then, we join hands with local communities displaced by war to co-design sustainable development initiatives that transform community wellbeing, improve health and education, and provide a nurturing environment for children to reach their full potential.
