IJM
Calvary partners with International Justice Mission in Guatemala to help raise funds for their efforts as they work to end modern day slavery and human trafficking in Guatemala.
Calvary has been sending teams to Guatemala since 2025. Our Calvary team helps lead the staff of Kids Alive in a Spiritual Formation Retreat to encourage them in their faith journeys and in the work that they do!
A team from Calvary led the first Spiritual Formation retreat in Guatemala for Kids Alive in August 2026 on Prayer. It was an amazing, God filled time, getting to pray together and lift up the staff and children at Kids Alive.
