Faith Promise Giving
Many of you have continued to give your Faith Promise offerings over these months, even though our annual Faith Promise Sunday was postponed. Thank you! Since so much is still up in the air, we have decided to not have a regular Faith Promise Sunday this year. Please continue to give to Missions through Trinity. If you aren't giving now, please pray about starting to give. See our Online Giving page for instructions how to give online.

Child Sponsorship
Trinity sponsors two children, Rodrigo and Anonna, through Nazarene Compassionate Ministries. You can help us support Rodrigo and Anonna by giving along with your tithes and offerings. Mark your gift “Child Sponsorship,” or choose the Child Sponsorship fund in your online giving. Check the Missions bulletin board regularly for letters and drawings from Rodrigo and Anonna. You or your family may also sponsor a child. Go to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries to learn more.
“Hello, my name is Rodrigo and I am 4 years old. I live in Dominican Republic. My father is a farmer. At home, I like to play. At church, I like to sing. I also like to play ball.”
This Dominican Republic Child Development Center has children attending 5 days a week. The center focuses on teaching reading and writing, spiritual formation, and provides a hot lunch. The center is in a mountain area where most people are farmers or they work for the Coffee Industry.

“Hello, my name is Anonna and I am 5 years old. I live in Bangladesh. My father is a day laborer and my mother is a housewife. At home, I like to help my mother. At church, I like to go to Sunday school. I also like playing with dolls.”
The Bangladesh Child Development Centers provide children with 5 nutritious meals a week, education, safe drinking water, sanitation, medical checkups, books, school clothes, as well as social, spiritual, and cultural activities. We also give them love and affection, praise and recognition, and an opportunity to develop a relationship with God.
