Making disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
Our desire is to aggressively engage in sharing the gospel of God’s grace with the world and making disciples of Jesus Christ. We believe that every Christian is a "missionary" sent by Jesus (John 20:21), and that wherever God calls us to live geographically, we are to live intentionally in our communities as witnesses for Christ (Acts 1:8), whether here in North County San Diego or oversees in another nation. We also believe that the local church is to financially support those that are called to foreign missions as an extension of the local church. At Calvary Chapel Escondido, we support those that we are connected to us through relationships, and we are committed to devoting 10% of our tithes & offerings toward world missions, whether it be in years of plenty or times when finances are lean. We currently give monthly financial support to 3 families (Stephen & Pat Apple; Bond & Heather Gaona; Daniel & Ana Jones), and give prayer support to other Missionary Friends, and at times financially as we are able.

Stephen and Pat Apple
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL
Stephen and Pat came to Israel in 2004 to share God’s love in Jesus Christ and to work among poor of the Tel Aviv inner city. They began by providing food, clothing, medical assistance and other practical needs. These acts of compassion opened the hearts of many Israelis to the Gospel. They founded Calvary Chapel of Tel Aviv in 2004 and the Shepherd’s Light non-profit in 2007. The Apples manage the Shepherd’s Light ministry projects in Israel and the training of U.S.A. based church teams for Israel ministry.
