Greetings Trinity Family,
Happy New Year!
In the busyness of the holiday season, I hope you’ve taken time to reflect on how far we’ve come in our shared journey, and to see the road ahead with hopeful expectation.
As a Conference, we spent much of 2025 focused on growing more aware and attuned to the work of the Holy Spirit among us, and to spreading scriptural holiness — both in our local communities and across the globe.
This heightened awareness of God in our midst positions us well to share Him with others! To simply and humbly tell others how God has touched our lives is among the most faithful things we can do as Christ followers. Throughout scriptures, Jesus calls people of all walks of life to go and tell others what the Lord has done for them.
You may recall the testimony of the restored man in Mark 5:19, when Jesus commissions him saying, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” The man obeyed, proclaimed Christ across the Decapolis, and “all the people were amazed.”
This same story of redemption is taking place all around us today: God meets us in our broken places, extends mercy, restores us, and then calls us to testify. That testimony becomes an invitation to people longing for hope.
We have been praying through this opportunity as a Conference leadership team, and I am excited to share it’s also the focus of our 2026 Annual Conference theme: The Power of Personal; Inviting Others to Christ Through Personal Stories.
Between now and our Annual Conference, I invite you to pray boldly, walk closely, and speak personally about the mercy of God wherever the Holy Spirit opens the door. God desires to use our stories for His glory. May we be willing to say “yes.”
Peace,
Jason
