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!

Newton attended a graduation ceremony organized by the International Association for Theological Accreditation (IATA) and the International Institute of Arts & Theology (IIAT). He was one of 112 students graduating with a PhD, D. Min, M. Th, M.A, MBA, M. Div, B.A, B. Th, and Diploma programs. Newton noted that he enjoyed the fact that the whole event included praise, worship, as well as a powerful sermon delivery. MEET NEWTON Meet K. Newton Babu, a remarkable young man from India who has experienced the transformative power of faith and mentorship through TRINICY's Online Mentorship Program. A JOURNEY OF FAITH AND RESILIENCE Newton’s journey began in a household where his mother was a devoted Christian, while his father did not share the same faith. Despite this, his mother’s unwavering belief in Jesus Christ guided Newton towards a Christian path from a young age. In 2011, when Newton was just 14, his family faced a life-altering challenge: his father suffered a severe brain stroke that left him paralyzed. The doctors had little hope, but his mother’s faith never wavered. Through constant prayer and the support of their church, they witnessed a miraculous recovery, which solidified Newton’s faith in God's presence and healing power. STRUGGLES & TRIUMPHS The strain of his father’s illness and the influence of worldly friends led Newton to stray from his spiritual path and his studies suffered. However, God’s grace was upon him. He secured a seat in an engineering program in Hyderabad, where he stayed with his cousin's family who were actively involved in church ministry and orphan care. This period marked a turning point in Newton’s life as he immersed himself in ministry activities, learning humility, love, and service. Newton graduated with a Masters in Divinity in 2024 in Bangalore, India. ACADEMIC & SPIRITUAL GROWTH Despite facing numerous challenges, including a severe bout of dengue fever, Newton's resilience and faith saw him through. He paused his engineering studies to pursue theological education, earning multiple degrees, including a Bachelor of Theology and a Bachelor of Divinity. This educational journey, guided by Rev. Prof. M. Reynold Wesley, equipped Newton with the skills to minister in villages, engage with people, and plant churches. A TESTAMENT OF TRANSFORMATION In 2018, Newton publicly declared his faith through baptism, and by 2019, he had completed his engineering degree. In 2020, he began his M.Tech in Thermal Engineering and continued his theological studies, enrolling in an M.Div program in 2021. Newton’s story is a powerful testimony of transformation—once deemed unlikely to succeed by many, he now holds multiple degrees and is a source of guidance and inspiration to others. IMPACT OF TRINICY'S MENTORSHIP Through TRINICY’s Online Mentorship Program, Newton has found additional support and guidance. His mentors have been instrumental in helping him navigate both academic and spiritual challenges, providing encouragement and wisdom along his journey. LOOKING FORWARD Newton's story is a beacon of hope and inspiration, demonstrating that with faith, resilience, and the right support, one can overcome any obstacle. As he continues his studies and ministry work, Newton looks forward to making a lasting impact in his community and beyond, all for the glory of God. His current goal is to pursue further studies in the United States. JOIN THE GREAT COMMISSION!

By Thaddeus Sanches | TRINICY.org Thaddeus Sanchez first joined TRINICY as a Mentee in the Fall of 2023. He has been working with the same mentor since. MEET THADDEUSMy name is Thaddeus. I’m 24 and just starting college with the goal of attending Biola University to get a B.A. in Biblical Studies. I first encountered the gospel while in jail back in 2019. During October of that year, I decided to believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior. From that time until now I have grown tremendously in faith and most importantly in relationship with God. That was the reason I joined TRINICY - to grow in faith and deepen my relationship with God through discipleship of a more mature faith mentor. TRINICY was actually an answer to my prayer for mentorship. Long story short I went to a conference and the first information I read was about TRINICY, a mentorship program! Getting to know my mentor, Dave, has been great, including hearing his stories and knowledge with his background of someone who is seasoned in the field of ministry. The best part about it though is the knowledge and wisdom he is able to pass down to me. I am very blessed and thankful for the works that TRINICY has done! WANT MENTORSHIP?

In the heart of TRINICY's global mentorship community, powerful stories of connection and transformation unfold, showcasing the profound impact of Christ-centered relationships. TRINICY MENTORSHIP: BRIDGING LIVESMeet Thabelo, a mentee from South Africa, whose journey with TRINICY transcended beyond mentorship. Recently, Thabelo celebrated a joyous milestone – her wedding. What made this occasion even more special was the presence of her mentor, Samantha Botha, alongside a dear friend and fellow mentee, Retang. Samantha, Retang, and Thabelo's shared experience in TRINICY not only fostered mentor-mentee relationships but forged bonds that extend to life's significant moments. Thabelo's wedding became a testament to the enduring connections formed within the program. This story reflects the essence of TRINICY – a platform where mentorship is not just a temporary alliance but a foundation for lifelong relationships. The common thread weaving these connections together is Christ, the unifying force that glues mentors and mentees across the globe. In TRINICY, the impact of mentorship reaches beyond geographical boundaries, creating a community where milestones are shared, and lives are intertwined. As we celebrate Thabelo's wedding, we recognize that this is just one of many stories echoing the transformative power of Christ-centered mentorship within the TRINICY family. IN THABELO'S OWN WORDSI am Thabelo also known as Thabie from South Africa. I joined TRINICY in 2020 while I was still a student on campus. In the past few years as a mentee, I have been mentored by Samantha, Robin, and Julie. I spent most of 2023 on a break in order to prepare and plan for my wedding. I recently got married to Reginald, who has been a friend of mine from university. Reginald was the one who witnessed the gospel to me before salvation. His desire to marry me was more evident from November 2022 when he pursued me. on July 1st 2022, he asked me to marry him and I said "Yes". We both didn't want to be engaged for a long time. Our wedding day was the most joyful day of my life. We then planned our wedding to be on the 16th of December 2023. Our wedding day was the most joyful day of my life. I had Samantha (my former mentor) as one of our wedding guests. Retang, who is still part of TRINICY, was my maid of honor. The most wonderful part of my wedding was to see our families and friends being exposed to sound teaching, something my husband and I have been praying for.
Thabelo with her bridesmaids and maid of honor, Retang, who is on the right FELLOW MENTEE ATTENDS AS MAID OF HONORRetang, a fellow Mentee in the mentorship program, had this to say about the event: "Samantha, Thabie, and I had the best time ever. Our time together was fulfilling. I thank God for such lovely Christian women. We're praying for a second installment as soon as God allows it, and we're trusting that one day we'll fly to the U.S. to join the meetings that side!" After the wedding, I moved from Johannesburg to follow my husband in Limpopo, where I will be serving alongside my husband. I am so thankful to the Lord for this wonderful gift of marriage. Please continue to pray for Reginald and I as we build our home together that we may do all things for the glory of God.
