Missions

Disaster Relief

Disaster Relief is done immediately – removing trees and debris from dwellings, placing tarps on leaking roofs, tearing out wet carpet/flooring, cabinets, sheetrock, and removing ruined personal belongings and furniture. Other volunteers also provide childcare, cook meals, deliver water, wash and dry clothing, and provide medical assistance. During this phase, much is done to listen to the stories of victims, assure them of God’s presence with them “through the storms of life,” pray with them, and when open, sharing a witness to the good news of Jesus Christ.

Trinity has been involved in this Relief mission in Tarboro, Grifton, Canton, Atlantic, Edenton, High Point, and Raleigh (all in NC), Melbourne, FL; Mobile, AL; Bayou La Batre, AL; Metarie, LA, and Gulfport, MS (120 different volunteers over 2 years after Hurricane Katrina).

Disaster Recovery

Disaster Recovery continues long after Relief has finished, to help families rebuild their homes and lives. Teams of volunteers (both skilled and unskilled) provide materials, labor, and hope. After Hurricane Katrina, Trinity (and thousands of other NC Baptists) committed teams of workers for two years following the storm to help the residents of Gulfport, MS get back on their feet. Trinity has also been involved in this Recovery mission in Atlantic, NC.

NC Baptist on Mission offers annual training in Disaster Relief/Recovery all across our state. Trinity has over 50 trained volunteers thus far in Recovery, Mass-Feeding, Childcare, and Chaplaincy, with several trained Crew Chiefs. The church has also purchased and uniquely outfitted two Disaster Relief Trailers – one for Relief/tear out, and one for Recovery/rebuild. These are maintained and ready to roll by a Trinity Disaster Relief Lead Team.

Launched in 2001, “Together for Hope” (TFH), the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship’s “Rural Poverty Initiative,” is a long-term commitment to work with people in the nation’s 20 poorest counties to affect change and break the cycle of economic disparity. The ministry is about establishing long-term relationships, listening, learning, and walking alongside local leaders. The hope is that communities will be transformed as will the churches and individuals who live in these 20 counties.

Trinity has committed to serving in McCreary County, KY, the closest of the 20 counties to Raleigh.

We partner with a local missionary and his wife Jim and Rita Cmolik, whose non-profit ongoing organization is called Hills & Hollers Ministries. They seek to establish relationships with families in this impoverished former coal mining region and bring the message of God’s love through Jesus by discerning how best to assist those families who need a little hope and help to get their feet under them.

Most of their efforts focus on supporting new mothers through counseling, supplies, and gospel-centered community.

Our newest partnership in McCreary County connects our missions teams with the ministry of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, Crossroads Community Church, and the ministries of Grant and Gina Hasty.  Through this partnership Trinity supports The Light Community, a tiny house community providing care and support to those in recovery, and The Lord’s Cafe, a ministry that feeds body and soul.

Trinity’s National Mission Team plans several trips to support these wonderful missionaries, ministers, and ministries throughout the year.

Many in our congregation have vocational skills in the medical/dental/optometric fields. Others go willingly to offer assistance to these by setting up facilities, registering patients, managing the pharmacy, caring for children while parents are seen, teaching hygiene skills and going to get more supplies. Literally thousands have been treated locally and through Trinity’s international involvement in Medical/Dental/Optometric missions.

Raleigh, NC – partnering with NC Baptists on Mission’s Medical Screening Bus and Dental Screening Bus as well as Alliance Medical Ministry, Welcome House Community Network (missionaries, Marc and Kim Wyatt), Raleigh Rescue Mission, and North Raleigh Ministries, hundreds of our local neighbors have received much needed screenings and treatment .

Dominican Republic – joined SBC missionaries Keith and Lisa Wagner three different years in their outreach to the poor living in barrios around Santo Domingo. Follow up would take place after the teams left in an effort to establish a church in the barrio.

Belize – partnering with the congregation of Lagoon Road Baptist Church in St. Margaret’s Village, teams have used the church facilities constructed earlier by TBC teams to provide much needed treatment to the hundreds of people from many miles around. Another team also has done a week-long clinic in Valley of Peace, where thousands of El Salvadoran refugees live.

Ukraine – partnering through NC Baptists on Mission, teams have ministered to the Roma people of Ukraine bringing much needed treatment with Gospel love to hundreds of marginalized people.

The Raleigh Rescue Mission believes that each person has Sacred Value because they are created in the image of God. Through the love of Jesus, the Mission has since 1961, provided a pathway for women and men, with and without children, who are willing to work their way out of poverty and homelessness.

Through the Mission’s Child Development Center special emphasis is placed on their kids’ education and ability to thrive as adults. The Mission is locally owned and managed and is solely funded through private donations.

Serving at the Mission has for years provided Trinity members with an opportunity to combine outreach, fellowship and fun. Our presence there alone serves as needed encouragement for both residents and staff.
