Missions
Holy Trinity offers financial, material, prayer and other support to voluntary organisations and to individuals involved in missionary work. The aim is to enable people to become involved in, or exposed to mission work as a means of deepening their faith. It also helps our community to respond to and support mission initiatives arising in Holy Trinity. Our missions focus mainly on caring for people, caring for creation, spreading the gospel and supporting Christians facing persecution.

Muyebe
Bishop Kivengere Girls' School, Muyebe, Uganda began in 1974 in order to address the imbalance in the education for boys and girls in the Kigezi Diocese. It was started by the Diocese 'to act not only as an academic centre but also as a school that would make girls experience God's saving power and bear fruit for Christ.'
UDP
The Urban Development Programme of All Saints' Cathedral Nairobi is working with resettled communities in the slums of Kayole and Dandora (Nairobi). It is an integrated development programme, which has provided water, latrines, a nursery school, and some housing, and is about to embark on several income generating projects. HTB is helping the Programme with a low-cost and effective health care element, which the communities value highly (particularly at this time of climate change and crisis), and which is essential to underpin the progress being made in other parts of the Programme. http://tinyurl.com/3ddfga
Protestant Social Centre
The Protestant Centre for Social Support offers a general advice service to those in need, plus specialized services for asylum seekers, support to prisoners and ex-prisoners and debt management advice. Around 17 paid staff and 40 volunteers contribute to their programme of social action. The PSC works in collaboration with other service providers, with the protestant churches and with various catholic and lay organizations in Brussels and elsewhere. The PSC is open to all, irrespective of race, religion and political affiliation. Located in Ixelles, close to Holy Trinity, the PSC provides a vital source of support to many people living in poverty and on the margins of Brussels’ society.
David and Evelyn Baines (Wycliffe)
David and Evelyn Baines are members of Wycliffe, whose goal is to give everyone the opportunity to use the Bible in their own language. They are currently working with SIL International, on the FieldWorks software project. FieldWorks is a suite of computer programs that help a language project to manage and store the data they collect during the course of a project. Fieldworks can store anthropology notes as well as language data. It can also help to develop a bilingual dictionary and provides a Bible editing tool that can speed up the process that leads to printing Scripture. If you'd like to contact David or Evelyn, their email address is david-evelyn_baines@sil.org.
