MONGOLIA MISSION TRIP SUPPORT FOR ANNA ENDERLE
Dear Trinity Family,
I am excited to announce that I have been accepted to participate in a Bethel University missions trip to Mongolia in May 2026! Going to Mongolia for me will be a way in which I can live out our calling as Christ followers to go out and preach the good news to the ends of the earth. This is a very exciting opportunity and I can't wait to share all about it but for now I would love to ask for some help and support in the following ways!
1. Please pray for our group going to Mongolia, for safe travels and for the hearts of those we interact with to be prepared to hear the Gospel.
2. If you feel led, I am fundraising to attain my trip cost of around $3,000. CLICK HERE to go to my page where you can donate.
Thank you & God's Blessings,
Anna Enderle
