Mission trips can change the lives of the people you meet and unexpectedly, your life.

 
God has called Judy and I to serve the Kenyan people.

 
Our team usually works with two different ministries in Kenya. Principally, we work with International Treasure House Ministries (ITHM). Their focus is to rescue orphan and destitute kids (usually teenage mothers and their babies). They house, educate, equip, and spiritually train them so they will be able to break out of the cycle of poverty. They learn the good news of Jesus and we have witnessed many salvations and baptisms. Our role is to love the kids, training them on things like table etiquette, first aid, healthy relationships, online safety/cyber security, communication skills and goal setting, we also build and repair things. We teach classes for eighth graders at a local school. The classrooms usually have 80 extremely well-behaved kids in very cramped conditions. Not only do we share the gospel of Jesus Christ we also teach subjects like the Holy Spirit and the power of prayer. The kids know we have come a long distance and are very appreciative of that fact. They are free with their love and want to know about Jesus.

 
We also work with Heshima Children’s Center. Heshima in Swahili means dignity. Their mission is to provide dignity for children with disabilities or special needs. Most kids like this are shunned by society and so are their mothers. Heshima provides special education, therapy, medical services, housing, skills training for the moms in sewing or jewelry making. They also provide drinking water for the community from their deep well. Our role is to buy food staples for 12 to 15 impoverished families in the immediate area. We deliver the food and pray with the families for their needs.

 
Trinity helps support these mission trips in several ways. The Trinity Stitchers have made dresses for the girls at ITHM and Heshima. The Bridge Class members have donated love offerings for ITHM.

 
Once you become involved in Missions work you become passionate about it and feel very blessed by God.

 

 

 

Did you know that over the years many members of Trinity Baptist Church have obeyed Jesus’ call to “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded.” (Mt. 28: 18-20). In recent years TBC has sent-short term mission teams to the Dominican Republic, Kenya, Mexico and Thailand to name just a few. Those who have gone have discovered that mission work is a powerful experience in doing God’s will. This is regardless of whether they’ve gone on a short-term mission trip or become a career missionary.

 
Missions not only impacts others, but also creates personal transformations in those who go. Some examples of how many have been blessed by their participation in a short-term mission trip is best explained by their personal testimonies about how God has changed them because of their willingness to become a messenger of His good will. Some specific testimonials are included in the TBC 2023 Mission Trip Memories booklet located on the wall bookshelf just outside of the church offices.

 
The goals of your 2025 Trinity Missionary Ministry team are:

1) to help raise funds for scholarships as well as encourage and inform TBC members who wish to go on short term missions’ trips. Information about guidelines for receiving financial aid can be found at TBCK.ORG/missions,

2) to provide limited financial assistance to approved long term career missionaries.

 
We request your financial help. One way you can help is by doing the following: fill in the line on your weekly tithe envelope captioned My Offering to, by writing in the phrase “Short Term Missions” and place the $ amount you want to give on that line.

 
The Trinity Missions Ministry is here to help you get involved. How about joining one of TBC’s mission outreach efforts in 2025. If you can’t personally “go” then why not send others by being part of our fundraising efforts in 2025.
