World Outreach

Missions

Each year, Trinity supports missionaries through a faith-promise offering, above and beyond the tithe. Since her founding Trinity has actively supported many missionaries through prayer and offerings. It is out sincere prayer that the work of the missionaries we support would be used of God to bring new believers into Christ’s Bride.

In addition to our financial and prayer support of domestic and international missionaries, we encourage our members to be actively engaged in local evangelism and domestic mission trips. A portion of our yearly faith-promise offerings is allocated to those works.

Priorities

When evaluating missionaries or mission organizations to support, the session bases it assessments on the following principles:

  1. The Church is the Goal: We will endeavor to support missionaries who are planting churches, growing specific churches through front-line evangelism, or training indigenous leaders for existing churches. Missionaries who do not recognize the centrality of the local church and center their ministry on her will not be supported. Acts 9:31

  2. Doing, As Well as Supporting: Short-term local and domestic mission trips for our members will be encouraged. This includes Trinity Child Rescue, SCBEST, street evangelism, booths at festivals and county fairs, and short-term domestic missions. James 2:14-17

  3. Remember Domestic Works: In addition to foreign mission fields, mission work must be done in our own backyards. We will, therefore, remember local front-lines, such as college campuses and abortuaries. Supporting missionaries at these locations as well as participating in those ministries will be encouraged. Acts 1:8

  4. Support Theologically & Ministerially Like-Minded Missionaries: Understanding our mission program to be an outgrowth of our church’s priorities, we will seek to support missionaries who could in good conscience affirm our official ministerial Commitments. 2 Tim. 4:1-5

  5. Support Fewer Missionaries with More Support: Rather than spreading our financial and spiritual resources broadly but thinly, we will seek to support fewer missionaries with more significant levels of money and attention. Phil. 4:15-18

The Lintons

KB Church

Joel was born in South Korea into a family with a multi-generational legacy of mission work in Korea. Judy was born in Taiwan into a non-Christian family. God brought both of them to Himself in their childhood — Joel in middle school, Judy in high school — and He put missions on their hearts in college. They both pursued graduate degrees useful for “tentmaking” in East Asia.

They married in 1998, and soon after, God called them to Taiwan to a lifetime service of church planting and evangelism. They began training and raising support for the mission field. In 2000, God blessed them with a beautiful daughter, Faith. He has since added four more daughters to the family, Charis, Ashlyn, Saorsa and Seren. In 2002, the Linton’s moved to Taiwan to begin their work. They helped start New Hope Church – Taipei in January 2003 and have helped with other church plants since then.

Christians Teaching Christians

Christians Teaching Christians seeks to teach those who have not been previously reached with Bible teaching. We train pastors how to faithfully preach and teach the Bible, and are also open to instruct anyone who wants to study the Bible, including youth.

To request their ministry newsletter, visit CTC’s website.

For more than 20 years Paul and Robina Wolff have been involved in pioneer missionary work — planting churches, translating the Bible into local languages, evangelizing, discipling and training the believers to carry the good news of Christ to the next village, tribe and language group. Due to limited resources, however, they found that local churches were hard-pressed to carry the gospel beyond their own villages. Their hearts were willing, but their options were few.

In order to provide these international believers with the necessary organization and access to resources, they founded the International Gospel Outreach. In the same way that most American-based mission boards train and provide support structures for western missionaries to serve overseas, iGO desires to provide technical support and other resources to international believers to effectively minister within their own countries.

iGO’s International Partnership program is one of the most effective ways to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ, because the people ministering in their home countries already know the language and culture, are already on location, and are ready to give their lives for the gospel. All they need is someone to equip and send them.

Retired Missionaries

Lucille Anderson

SIM Africa

Charles and Lucille Anderson met in High School and were married after graduation.  Shortly thereafter, they attended a youth revival in their town and committed their lives to the Lord.  This commitment led to a pursuit of Bible education at Bob Jones, and eventually service as missionaries with SIM.  Their missionary service began in Ethiopia in June 1953.  Over the next 20 years, they helped to plant new churches, worked with university students and served in field administration.  Later they ministered in Sudan, Ghana and back in the U.S. home office — actively involved in world missions for almost 40 years before retirement.  In 2003, they moved to the SIM Retirement Village in Sebring, FL.  After 66 years of marriage, Charles passed into the presence of His Lord and Savior in 2013. Lucille is now living in the SIM Lodge — the Assisted Living Facility on the campus of the SIM Retirement Village.
