Trinity/Hope

Haiti Then (1999) and Now (2016)

In the Lord’s Army

At our church, Emmanuel Lutheran in Hermitage, it’s not uncommon to see some unusual items up near the altar when we arrive for worship. We know they are probably props for Pastor Enko’s Children’s Message. However, on a recent Sunday the spread was more lavish than usual. There was a six foot table covered with all […]

The Church is one body but its members are different

– By Jean Philippe Paul This is a comparison written by one of Trinity/HOPE’s feeding program directors who has traveled for us to the United States for presentations.  Jean Philippe is Haitian and shares this experience in English which is not his native language.

A Servant Heart

A good leader is someone who sees a need and regardless of self-interest makes a positive difference for others.  This describes the founder of Trinity/HOPE.  With God as his spiritual head, John Hall followed the Holy Spirit’s lead to move others to work together feeding thousands of hungry children in Haiti so they could grow […]
