Share Hope Here and Abroad this Advent Season
From the streets of South Bend to the markets of North Africa, lives are ready to be changed by the Gospel, and you can help make a difference this Advent season. Your generosity will echo across continents—sending kids to camp here at home while strengthening gospel outreach across the globe.
We have highlighted two Trinity ministry partners—one local and one global—to help advance the Gospel by caring for our community and reaching the nations. Through your generosity, you can help share the hope of Christ both here in Michiana and across the world.
The overall goal for this year’s offering is $20,000.
For over 90 years, Camp Ray Bird has been sharing the gospel with children across Michiana. Serving primarily low-income families in St. Joseph County, they provide life-changing summer camp experiences that many families couldn't otherwise afford.
Your gift will help construct a new lifeguard shed at Camp Ray Bird's waterfront, enhancing safety measures for hundreds of campers who enjoy swimming activities each summer. Additionally, your generosity will provide full scholarships for 10 children who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to experience the joy of summer camp and hear the transformative message of the gospel.
Goal: $10,000
In a region where 12 million Muslims have limited access to the gospel, Team M28 is breaking new ground in North Africa. Through innovative outreach events and digital ministry, they're creating safe spaces for people to encounter Jesus.
Your support will enable Team M28 to host evangelistic outreach events reaching groups of 15-50 people at a time, while also funding strategic social media campaigns to connect with truth-seekers online. The funds will also provide safe housing solutions for persecuted believers and purchase essential equipment needed for large gatherings and media projects, all aimed at sharing the hope of Christ in this restricted region.
Goal: $10,000

Funds raised beyond the $20,000 total goal will go toward projects in and around our sanctuary (installing chair lifts near Door A as well as reupholstering the seats and backs of the pews). These facility upgrades will provide easier access and a more comfortable experience for all who worship in that space.
