The children that are deaf and living in Peru do not have the educational opportunity that we offer here in the states. Each year a ministry team travels to Lima, Peru to work with the educational training and spiritual development of the deaf children living in Peru. Trinity supports and actively participates in this mission. For more information visit the Peru Deaf Education Ministry website.
For over 15 years Trinity has been in partnership with Rev. Roger Porquillo, a Methodist pastor in the Philippines who has led several congregations over the years. Our financial support has helped provide Bibles and Christian education materials, instruments for a youth praise band, salaries for teachers and much more. We regularly receive pictures and notes from Pastor Roger and his congregation as they seek to do the Lord's work against challenges such as extreme poverty, tsunamis, and political violence. Trinity supports the Philippines Mission.
Trinity's Military Prayer and Care Package Ministry was borne out of the need to support our men and women of the military who are deployed during a time of war. Donations of snacks, toiletries, games, stationery, books, magazines, socks (and more) are collected from Trinity members, and a group of two to three women sort the supplies, pack them in boxes, and mail them to soldiers whose names are provided through family and friends. A letter is included in each box letting the soldier know that Trinity's members haven't forgotten them, that we are praying for their safe return home, and that we appreciate the sacrifice they are making by defending our great country. Trinity supports the Military Prayer and Care Package Ministry.
