Through donations of time and funds, Calvary Vista has helped Birth Choice Mobile Clinic and Care Center give Christ-centered, compassionate, life-affirming care to thousands of families since 1987, helping them to make educated decisions about sexual intimacy, pregnancy, family, counseling, and ministering to all in numerous ways.

My name is Micah Salas, and I am a current high school coach with a passion for investing in the lives of young athletes. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is a ministry that utilizes the platform of sports to reach coaches and athletes with the message of Jesus Christ to help them grow in their relationship with Christ and live it out on a day-to-day basis. FCA provides opportunities for athletes and coaches to come together through huddles, camps, and mentorships to build community and grow spiritually and as leaders.
As I grew in my own faith, I began to feel the Lord calling me to use coaching as more than just a way to compete, but as a way to mentor and pour into the next generation. FCA has given me the opportunity to live that out by creating spaces where coaches and athletes can grow in their relationship with Christ, build strong communities, and learn to use their gifts to serve others. I’m grateful to be part of a ministry that has impacted my life from such a young age and now allows me to invest in the lives of others.

Donated food is collected, organized, checked, and arranged into distributable containers. These are made available for pastors to distribute when ministering to those in need, along with prayer and counseling.  Annually, we prepare and distribute about 100 boxes of food (4 days of food for a family of 4-5) and 150 bags of food (2 days of food for 1 person) each year.
