Trinity Presbytery's Sudan Ministry

Since September 1987, Trinity Presbytery has had an ongoing ministry in Sudan.

This ministry has as its objectives:

• Developing a broader awareness and understanding of the experience of the church in Sudan and the Sudanese people.
• Expanding our involvement in international missions.
• Establishing a unifying effect within our Presbytery as we work together for a common cause
• Spiritual renewal and growth as we seek to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the Sudanese in Sudan.

Today the Trinity Sudan Ministry is alive, well and thriving. It serves as a model for others to emulate in serving the growth and needs of the church worldwide. The major functions fall into three areas.

Advocacy & Relief   Ongoing efforts include:

• Advocating actively for a just and lasting peace for all Sudan;
• Providing humanitarian relief for the suffering;
• Promoting reconciliation in the South;
• Improving the situation for the women of Sudan
• Developing awareness of the plight of the Sudanese Christians; and
• Praying daily.
