Calvary Hills

Extending Christ’s love to families facing hardship in the hills outside Oaxaca City.

Why We're Here

Tucked into the rugged hills surrounding Oaxaca City are villages where daily life is marked by hardship, economic uncertainty, and a growing threat of gang violence. For many families—especially single mothers—stability is elusive. Parents often struggle to provide regular meals, and for some children, access to education is still just a hope rather than a reality. In a place where so many go without, even simple acts of love and consistency can make a world of difference. 

Our Program

Calvary Hills

Calvary Hills (Calvario Lomas in Spanish) is led by Pastor Alex Neyra and his wife Ana Ramos, who shepherd a small church with a big heart. Since 2011, they’ve been extending Christ’s love to children and families in need—offering warm meals, spiritual encouragement, and a place to belong. For many, the meal they receive is the only one they’ll eat that day. The weekend feeding and discipleship program now reaches five surrounding communities, bringing hope where it’s needed most. 

Christ centered

Declaring and demonstrating the good news of Jesus Christ has always been – and will always be – at the heart of everything we do. Our program leaders have been ministering in their community for over a decade integrating discipleship into all aspects of the program.

child focused

Children are the seeds of the future. When we invest in them, they grow into agents of change in their families and communities. Our program meets the individual needs of each child and extends outward to their whole environment.

holistic

Our program is holistic, caring for the whole child—their mind, body, and spirit. We provide regular meals to children, discipleship, and a caring community, laying the groundwork for lasting transformation in their lives.

locally led

Pastor Alex Neyra and Ana Ramos are local Christian leaders with a heart for the next generation. They’ve been faithfully ministering in their community since 2011. We work closely with them to ensure strong relationships, cultural understanding, and wise stewardship.

Pastor Alex and Ana Neyra

Calvary Hills Program Directors, Mexico

Alejandro and Ana are pastors in Oaxaca, Mexico. They have two adult children: Daniela and Alejandro. In 2006, they came to know Jesus Christ and joined a church community where they learned God’s Word and the purposes He had for their lives.

Over the past fifteen years, God has multiplied Alejandro and Ana’s outreach ministry as they have faithfully served their community, trusting in God’s financial and spiritual provision. In 2011, they started a children’s breakfast outreach with some neighborhood kids. Each Saturday they served breakfast, but more importantly, shared a lesson about Jesus. After three years, this breakfast wasn’t just for the children anymore. Their parents also began coming, and little by little they became interested in getting to know Christ and hearing His Word. Alejandro and Ana started a Bible study, which eventually grew into a small church where, to this day, both children and parents who first came to the breakfast continue to gather with them. Their main goal is for children to hear about Jesus and to know that no matter their life circumstances, God is always with them, that He reveals Himself where His name is praised, and that when they cling to Him, their life story can be changed.
