HISTORY OF CAPRO
Calvary Ministries, popularly known as CAPRO, is acronym for Calvary Productions which was her original name, started as a spontaneous outreach to the Muslims of the Northern Nigeria in 1975. What was meant to be a short-outreach in Zaria City by a group of young zealous evangelists has grown to become an international non-denominational Missions Agency with over 700 missionaries from 26 countries and with operations in 43 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, the Middle East, Europe, America and Asia. What started as a Nigerian Initiative has both become a missions movement as well as a catalyst for missions movements in several countries in the world. CAPRO missionaries are known for their devotion to Jesus, commitment to the Word of God, passion for the lost, and their expectation for the Lord's return. The missionaries believe that the fulfillment of the missions mandate requires sacrifice and consecration. It is to this end that the missionaries have dumped their career pursuit and ambition so that the unreached ethnic groups of the world will have the opportunity to hear about Jesus before the Lord's return.
HISTORY OF BIBLE TRANSLATION AND LITERACY DEPARTMENT
The Bible Translation and Literacy Department is a Child of necessity that was established to meet the Ministry's vision of seeing an indigenous community of believers among the unreached people groups of Africa and the rest of the world. Consequently, BT&L became a department of her own in 2017. Prior to this time, it was a unit under Research Department with some recorded achievements which includes, completion of Dukawa New Testament Bible in 2018, Kamuku, Tal, Cicipu and Miya projects are ongoing.
