In Trinity’s effort to obey Christ’s
command to go into the world and make disciples of all nations, we
have undertaken financial support for twenty-four
missionary families. We also support six retired
missionary families. Half serve in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Others, in the U.S., are involved in college
campus ministries, urban ministries, church planting,
supportive and administrative work, radio, camp, and
education. Additionally, the ABC Scholarship Fund
solicits contributions for grants to missionary
children of college age. At the present time we have
six eligible students. This extra gift is a great
encouragement to our missionaries.
In recent years we have focused on the 10-40 window,
the un-reached people groups in predominantly Muslim
countries. As a more effective way to teach and
evangelize, we also support national pastors in India
and Thailand. Members of Trinity have been encouraged
to undertake short-term mission trips. Twenty-five
people have ventured forth to India, Ethiopia,
Thailand, Jamaica and Mongolia. Adults and youth, men
and women, have come back spiritually enriched and
more enthusiastic about sharing Christ’s love and
salvation. Others have found opportunities to be
involved in inner-city outreach through various social
services.
Pictures of our missionaries are on display in a
special case in our church narthex. Each week a
missionary letter, published in our church bulletin,
acquaints the congregation with the ongoing work and
prayer needs of our missionaries. Periodically
missionary families visit giving live reports, and
stirring interest and desire for future contact in the
exchange of e-mail and prayer concerns.
Our goal is to
make missions alive and vital to our church family,
trusting that many more will become involved in local
and short-term opportunities.
