Jesus left his followers with the task of spreading his Good News throughout the whole world. We at Trinity Church embrace this task both locally and globally, and we consider it a great honor to commission, support and pray for our missionaries.
… Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations …
Matthew 28:18-19
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
And how are they to preach unless they are sent?
As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
Romans 10:14-15
