Leighton Lunger joined TRINICY because of the Great Commission, and "a desire to grow in discipleship and use my spiritual gifts, a passion for encouraging young people, and because I believe God is calling me to this!" MEET LEIGHTON "My name is Leighton Lunger and I recently became a mentor with TRINICY after God laid it on my heart the need for more Christian mentorship in our communities! I have had wonderful mentors since middle school and love what TRINICY stands for. I also felt like God was calling me to start a business/ ministry to provide Christian curriculum for girls to use with a mentor. He laid the name “Pray Her Forward” on my heart and told me it was to focus on how valuable we are as Daughters of the King - “more precious than pearls'' (Proverbs 3:15). " "I am now in "Print School" to write and design a “pearl-themed” mentorship curriculum for girls ages 13-25 on 12 relatable topics to remind mentees how precious they are to God! I will continue to cheer the TRINICY mentors and mentees on for the amazing discipleship they are providing to one another and am so thankful for this organization!" THE PRAY HER FORWARD STORY "It all began with realizing the undeniable Power of Prayer. In August 2015, the first “Spiritual Sistas’” small group began in the living room of my home. I felt totally unequipped to lead a bible study, but thought if I just opened my home, the Lord would show up… and He surely did! We grew to a group of ten ladies from 20 to 40, all of us with different stories and in different stages of life. We began our first study together and made sure that at every gathering, we fervently and intentionally PRAYED for one another…. and then shared and celebrated those answers to prayer. And they came. And kept coming. We saw healing, breakthroughs, mended relationships, more healing, pregnancies, new jobs, opened doors, closed doors, and salvations. We confidently agreed that, “If the spiritual sistas’ are praying for it, get ready, it’ll happen!” It was EXCITING. Our faith grew. In August 2020, a second small group (also appropriately named the “Spiritual Sistas’” was formed, and God moved again. From God’s faithfulness and an observed need in our communities, launched the idea to “Pray Her Forward© (PHF).” (Read the rest on the Pray Her Forward website HERE. JOIN THE GREAT COMMISSION!

Daniel George, a TRINICY Mentee discipled for nearly 4 years by Pastor Grady Root, joins James Madison University's faculty. MEET DANIEL "My name is Daniel George, and I have been a part of the TRINICY Community for almost 4 years now. TRINICY has immensely impacted my spiritual growth through the mentorship it has provided me. Ever since I began grad school, my mentor Grady has faithfully been there to encourage me, pray for me, and guide me through Scripture. " PROFESSIONAL UPDATE "I now serve as a newly-hired faculty member with Undergraduate Psychology at James Madison University, the same university I got to attend as a student. Loving and serving the Lord at the university He has placed [me] has its blessings and challenges, but I'm blessed by how Grady has poured into me so that I am able to faithfully follow Jesus by loving God and loving my neighbors -- especially those of different backgrounds and beliefs than my own. I have immense gratitude to TRINICY for arranging this discipleship and giving me a community and network of believers!" WHY APPLY TO TRINICY? "I want to be exposed to a wide variety of Christian conservatives focused on student experiences, and I think it would be fun to have a mentorship this summer. " WHO'S YOUR IDEAL MENTOR? "Someone who values listening to understand, seeks wisdom, loves discipline, loves people, and their favorite word in the Bible is Grace. Someone with an outstanding knowledge of scripture, too." WHO BECAME DANIEL'S MENTOR? Pastor Grady Root of Maricopa Springs Family Church answered the call to disciple this young man! Here's a glimpse into what would turn out to be a years-long mentorship and discipleship relationship between Daniel and Grady! WHAT DANIEL'S MENTOR HAS TO SAY Pastor Grady Root: "I continue to believe that TRINICY is an excellent way to address the lack of discipleship present in the church. The video format is not my favorite, but considering I wouldn't even know Daniel George apart from TRINICY's approach to connect people through technology, I love it and I'm thankful for the format that has allowed me to know Daniel." WHY DID GRADY CHOOSE TO BECOME A MENTOR? "I joined TRINICY as a mentor because of the vision to help isolated students feel connected and confident in the goodness of Jesus. I love the opportunity to meet with my mentee and study God's word together so that we can both be encouraged by grace and truth. Every Christian should be engaged in some kind of discipleship, and TRINICY makes that mandate very accessible. If you are looking for a way to stay grounded in your faith while growing in your understanding of God's word, TRINICY is for YOU! This program is an excellent way to fight isolation, discouragement, and doubt as you walk with Jesus." JOIN THE GREAT COMMISSION!
Daniel's story, along with Pastor Grady's, exemplifies the mission of TRINICY's Online Mentorship Program—to support and nurture the academic and especially spiritual growth of Christian students and scholars in the United States and worldwide. We need more biblical Christians like Daniel teaching in our colleges and universities. Please pray for him and other teachers, lecturers, and professors serving in the mission field of academia. We also need more Christians like Pastor Grady, who see the critical need for discipleship among our youth and young adults, especially those who are feeling isolated and alone in our post-Christian culture!
