Aaron & Brooklynn Salvato in Yukon, Oklahoma

Aaron & Brooklynn served as volunteers in the Calvary Vista Youth Ministry for many years. In 2011, Aaron became the Middle School Pastor at Calvary Vista, and in 2014, he had the blessing of moving up with his students into High School Ministry. After over a decade of Youth Ministry and a wonderful experience teaching at Calvary Chapel Bible College, in 2018, God led Aaron and Brooklynn to Oklahoma. Aaron stepped into a new season of itinerant preaching/teaching, & podcasting ministry. He focused on lending support to several local churches in Oklahoma through small bible studies, running a Young Adults Ministry online during COVID, and building a podcast ministry for young adults that now reaches thousands weekly.

In 2021, the Lord blessed Aaron & Brooklynn with their first son, Jack Harrison Salvato, a massive answer to many years of prayer! In 2022, they began building the GoodLion School of Discipleship, which is a ministry working together with multiple local churches in Oklahoma to build up young adults through a discipleship program focusing on theology and spiritual development. Aaron teaches locally at the school, runs the podcast ministry, counsels local young adults, mentors young youth pastors, and guest preaches for local youth ministries and churches in his area. He also travels and speaks to churches, schools, youth groups, camps, and conferences.

LOVE LIFE

Love Life started in Charlotte in 2016 and is spreading across the nation. Our Vista Team has been active for three years and partnered with Calvary Vista.
Calvary Vista has become a House of Refuge through Love Life. That means Calvary Vista speaks on the abortion crisis throughout the year and informs the congregation that we have various resources for pregnant mothers. So they can receive real help with love.

The Mission: Love Life is uniting and mobilizing the Church to create a culture of love and life that will result in an end to abortion and the orphan crisis.
The Vision: We follow the 4-step journey found in Nehemiah chapters 1-3 to lead the Church of Christ to repentance and obedience to "rebuild the walls" in our cities. This is practically played out when a church adopts a week and walks through the 4 steps of Hear, Pray, Go, and Connect.
"Adoption Weeks" take place Sunday through Saturday. On Sunday, a pastor gives a message on Life and gives a call to action for his people to pray and fast on Wednesday, and then to participate in a peaceful prayer walk at their local abortion clinic on Saturday. The last element of the prayer walk allows participants to say "yes" to ongoing ministry around the issue of abortion. 

perspective ministry

Dave & MaryAnne Hommel in Flagstaff, Arizona

Perspective Ministry exists to partner with the body of Christ, be it with churches, pastors, or individuals, to discover the ways God’s truth provides for the abundant life Christ promised us. This requires us to shift our outlook to gain new insight. We are called to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2), to look at life with God’s perspective. Through God’s Word, by His Spirit, Perspective seeks to be used by God to refresh, revive, and renew God’s people.
