2019 Christmas Project
In many areas of the world there are limited opportunities to find a path out of poverty. Women and girls are particularly susceptible to factors that create poverty: lack of access to school, child marriage and teenage pregnancy, and abuse. Women and girls often aren't able to provide for even their family's basic needs. Rather than experiencing dignity as children of God, many women and girls experience lack of respect and hopelessness.
Through the Empowering Women With Dignity project in Monrovia, Liberia, three churches have built learning centers to teach women skills that enable them to provide for their families, experience dignity and confidence, and live as valued and respected contributors within their families and communities. The learning centers teach tailoring, catering, soap making, and fabric design. "We came together to do something for ourselves,” shares one woman taking a class. “When we learn, we can do businesses for our very own selves. I feel proud. ... A little bit of happiness came to me.”
Hope for Life is a project that offers hope to women in a red-light district in India. A local congregation opened Drop-In Centers where women can go for prayer and worship. There, they find understanding, comfort, hope, and love. Women are beginning to understand God's love for them, and some have left the life they had been living. Others are seeking a way out. One woman describes the people at Hope for Life as "somebody who will hold your hand and walk with you toward something else—out of this life.”
We will take an offering for our Christmas Project on December 15. You may give at anytime; just mark your gift "Christmas Project."

2019 - 2020 Mission Projects
Children’s Project – The Shoe That Grows (BecauseInternational.org)
The offering has been sent in. We raised $1,375 for The Shoe That Grows! Thank you!
Over 1.5 billion people suffer from soil transmitted diseases worldwide.
Without shoes, children are especially vulnerable to soil-transmitted diseases and parasites that can cause illness and even death.
Children who get sick miss school, can’t help their families, and suffer needlessly. And since children’s feet grow so quickly, they often outgrow donated shoes within a year, leaving them once again exposed to illness and disease.
The Shoe That Grows can change that.

Youth Project – Healing Waters (healingwaters.org)
Healing Waters not only provides water to areas that need it, we have an approach that cares for the community holistically. This means t aren’t just going to give a community clean water and wish them the best. We want to see their entire community transformed physically, socially, economically, and spiritually. Our goal is to empower the locals so that the projects are sustainable and provide long-lasting development in the community.
The four-pronged approach:

Global Mission Project - 21st Century Classroom, Africa Nazarene University (nazarene.org/projects-region-africa)
Africa Nazarene University celebrates its 25th Anniversary in 2019 and 2020. ANU has grown from 66 students in July of 1994 to its current enrollment of over 3,000 students attending each of its three trimesters. Majors have risen from just three to over 25 with Law, Communications, Religion, Computer Science, Peace and Conflict, Education, Business, Environment, and Resource Management, to name a few. To be competitive and thrive in the challenging Kenyan university market ANU must advance each of its 54 classrooms into the 21st Century.
Each classroom currently is as high-tech as a whiteboard. A few have projectors, but the unreliability of the power grid in Kenya has torqued and dimmed all the bulbs, and with the bright light from the outside windows, they are unusable. The updates will also allow students in remote areas to be part of the class via video cameras and projectors. To become competitive ANU’s Board of Trust and Council is desiring the enhancement of each room tech to 21st Century standards to promote greater learning and to attract students.
Trinity’s goal is to raise enough money to purchase a desktop computer- $800.00

L.I.N.K.S. Missionaries
The LINKS missionaries assigned to Trinity this year serve in a Creative Access area. That means they are not free to share the gospel as we are in the U.S. They are forced to find creative ways to reach the people around them and introduce them to their loving heavenly Father.
John and Mary Y serve in the Africa region. As they share prayer requests with us we will pass them on to the church family. Pray for them as they work for Jesus in an area where being a Christian could cause hardship, or harm.
Also, pray for John and Mary's 5 children.
