LIFE@TRINITY
Life at Trinity is given order through three words: Worship, Connect, and Serve. God has gifted each of us differently and equipped us with different passions and preferences. With the choices at Trinity we ask that you seek to Worship with the church, Connect with a small group, and Serve in a way God has gifted you once a week. To help make that simpler we place the things we do under the word that best fits that group or activity. Start by choosing one thing from each area.

GRACE’s Week of Prayer – Day 2
12
Jan '21
January 11 – 17 is the Week of Prayer to End Human Trafficking. Join with Trinity and people of faith around Texas in a daily prayer.
Pray for prevention efforts and those who are vulnerable.
- Traffickers are master manipulators and prey upon vulnerabilities. Examples of risk factors for human trafficking include: homelessness; economic insecurity; runaway youth; prior histories of abuse; forced displacement; and irregular migration.
- Research suggests that a healthy, trust-based relationships can prevent youth from entering a cycle of exploitation and that those same relationships are pivotal in helping exploited youth to successfully exit their exploitation. Research has also found the presence of a caring adult to be related to numerous positive outcomes in the lives of vulnerable teens and young adults.
- In Texas, schools are required to provide access to age-appropriate, research-based education to help protect children from sexual abuse and trafficking. Many organizations are doing great work to provide students, teachers, and caregivers with access to quality prevention education. Others are focused on addressing root causes of exploitation such as poverty, homelessness, and childhood trauma. These efforts are essential for moving upstream and stopping trafficking before it occurs.
Suggested Prayer:
Dear God of Creation, we know you call us to be responsible for our fellow human beings. You have blessed us with all the necessary resources to work together to stop Human Trafficking. Make us bold and brave as we get in the way of those who would manipulate and abuse the vulnerable into this unimaginable evil. Break my heart as Christ’s was broken for me. Amen.
Read Matthew 25:31-40 (God praises ministry to the vulnerable)

GRACE’s Week of Prayer – Day 1
11
Jan '21
January 11 – 17 is the Week of Prayer to End Human Trafficking. Join with Trinity and people of faith around Texas in a daily prayer.
- Human trafficking occurs when force, fraud, or coercion is used to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex from another person. Causing a child to engage in the commercial sex trade is human trafficking regardless of whether the exploiter uses force, fraud, or coercion.
- Human trafficking can occur in a variety of legitimate and illegitimate industries, such as labor trafficking in agriculture, domestic work, beauty services, and restaurants or sex trafficking in escort services, pornography, cantinas, and illicit massage businesses.
Suggested Prayer:
Oh God, my heart is broken for the sin of Human Trafficking. Break the hearts of others of faith and add to the number those who have their eyes opened to see the evil one behind it all. You have declared “freedom for the captives”. May we work together to make the day when humans have no desire or means to exploit another human being.
By the truth of Freedom that is in Christ, I pray. Amen.
Read Isaiah 61:1-4. (God declares deliverance)
January 11 is also National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. In recognition of this day, the Department of Homeland Security’s Blue Campaign promotes #WearBlueDay and encourages the public to wear blue and raise awareness of human trafficking. Take a picture of yourself and those around you wearing something blue and share it on social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) along with the hashtag #WearBlueDay.
