Colonel James Quick (USAF Ret.) and Chief Master Sergeant Fred Bryant (USAF Ret.) are working to help spouses and children of soldiers killed or disabled in service to our country through scholarships and other assistance. Colonel Quick serves as the President of Folds of Honor New Mexico, and Cheif Master Sargeant serves on the Board of Directors. The Folds of Honor Foundation is rallying a nation to ensure no family is left behind in the fight to preserve American freedom. Colonel Quick said, “Being called upon to help a family is a Godly thing. We are very touched by the opportunity to help people who need our help to bridge the gap between a family that has suffered a devasting loss or disabling injury to fulfill the educational needs of the spouse or kids left behind.” More information about supporting the Folds of Honor New Mexico is available at https://newmexico.foldsofhonor.org/.

The Reload Love Afghanistan Emergency Relief Campaign is underway. Lenya Heitzig is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Reload Love. She said, “They say when a kid is traumatized (by terror), there are three things you should do. Get them to safety, acknowledge what happened (listen to their story and affirm it’s not their fault), and restore normalcy. Whether that is a soccer ball, crayons, a playground, whatever it is, it will help kids recover from trauma.” Reload Love provides trauma relief, medical supplies, academic programs & safe spaces (such as playgrounds) for children victimized by terrorism.

Bernadette Shanaberger, Brian Nixon and Katherine Gardner serve on the education team at Calvary Church Albuquerque. Bernadette shares how Calvary Elementary is about more than just teaching kids about God and the Bible. A foundation in faith filters into the atmosphere of their thoughts and builds character in every child.

Brian Nixon, the author of Master Teacher, shares how Calvary Preschool, Calvary Elementary and Calvary College use Luke 2 as a foundation of education. By looking at how Jesus learned and how he later came to teach, we can see how Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, and favor with both God and man.

Katherine Gardner, the registrar of Calvary College, says these  courses offer every student a biblical knowledge and background. This teaches them how to present to others what God wants them to present. Share what you KNOW, not what you think.

At the end of the day, the educational team at Calvary Church just wants one thing for their students. They want to make them the best loved and the best taught in Albuquerque.

New Mexico Dream Center Executive Director Shelley Repp and Lead Client Case Manager Abby McClelland are part of a special ministry rescuing children from sex traffickers. Abby said, “Our clients have had only had experiences with unhealthy people, and we want them to know how healthy relationships look. We always talk about the future and less about the past. We focus on building relationships with our clients to show them (an example) a healthy relationship and show them they are worthy. They deserve to be heard because for so long, they have been told they are worthless.” If you need help, call or text the New Mexico Dream Center Hotline at NMDC Hotline 505-504-1301. More information is available at https://www.nmdreamcenter.org/our-story.
