Weekly Portraits of Calvary Life
Joe Calvary student goes to his mailbox one day and finds a letter saying that his account balance has been paid by an anonymous donor at a time when Joe had no idea how he was going to pay his bill. Do you remember anything like this happening when you were a student? I do! Upon hearing testimony of such an occurrence, I often think about how wonderful it must be to have the financial ability to bless someone in that way. I’m sure many alumni would say that they do not have the means to provide such a blessing; however, that is the beauty of the 2017 Alumni Phone-a-thon. When we combine all of our gifts, whether we’re able to give $5, $25, $100, or $1000, we will be able to bless current and future Calvary students with scholarships.
Our goal is $21,000 ($20,000 for scholarships and $1,000 for the Alumni Induction Luncheon), and as of this writing we are at 62%. Will you help us reach the goal? Click here to donate online today.
Sydney Lindsey and Kristin McGuire made Phone-a-thon calls on Monday evening.

Dale Losch speaking in Chapel
Missions Emphasis Week was, as always, a meaningful and convicting time of special focus on the Great Commission. Dale Losch was the keynote speaker, and his Chapel messages each centered on a single word – love, live, work, and go. Mr. Losch is the president of Crossworld, a mission agency with, what I believe to be, a unique focus on sending disciple-makers from all professions into the world’s least-reached marketplaces. We also had the opportunity to learn from missionaries and mission representatives from Brazil Gospel Fellowship, Biblical Ministries Worldwide, Village Missions, Pioneers, UIM International, Association of North American Missions, New Tribes, Children’s Evangelistic Ministries, TEAM, Send, Fellowship International Mission, Avant, and Rockies Southwest Bible Church Extension. Our prayer is that the ultimate result of this Missions Emphasis Week would be souls saved and God glorified.

Tasha Krahn (#21) shoots over her defender while Rilee Walquist (#23) watches from the perimeter.
On Tuesday evening, the Calvary basketball teams both recorded victories over Ozark Christian College! The women won 67-48 and were led in scoring by Rilee Walquist. Coach Tressa Shoemaker’s team is short-handed right now due to injuries, so the six available players are working extra hard. The men’s score was 86-72 and ended a three-game losing streak for the team and Coach Matt Sanders. Hajj Green was the leading scorer on Tuesday with twenty-one points. Zeb Green also contributed seventeen points and fifteen rebounds. The final home games of the season are this weekend (see below), so come on out and cheer for the Warriors!
(l to r) Caleb Haney (#24), Kalif Spraggins, Kameron Wiebe (#34), Zeb Green, and Hajj Green (#23) look to the sideline from their on-court huddle.

Dr. Luther Smith spoke in Chapel on Wednesday.
This spring semester has brought some new faces to Calvary’s student body, faculty, and staff. One of the new, full-time faculty is Dr. Luther Smith, who is now serving as an Assistant Professor of Biblical Counseling. Dr. Luther Smith recently moved here from California with his wife and daughter. On Wednesday, Dr. Smith spoke in Chapel and encouraged all of us to remember that our God cares. A new part of chapel this school year is a question and answer time with the speaker following his message. Dr. Smith fielded questions and gave practical answers for applying this truth to our lives.
