Trinity supports missionaries Rev. Phillip and Lou-Marie Knutson.
Trinity Lutheran's history with the Knutsons
Trinity Lutheran Church began supporting Rev. Philip and Lou-Marie Knutson, missionaries to South Africa, on January 1, 1983.
In 1985, Trinity covered the full cost for supporting the Knutsons - $35,000. Of that amount, $20,000 was raised from special offerings, and the Church Council voted $15,000 from the regular church budget (Messenger, Vol. 50, No. 14). Trinity formally pledged $11,000 for their support in 2011.
Currently, there are 16 congregations sponsoring the Knutsons, including Our Savior’s Lutheran in Moorhead, as well as churches in Ada and Fertile.
Trinity has on occasion contributed to special projects the Knutsons have been involved in, including $1,000 for the daycare center at Port Elizabeth, a contribution to the South to South project involving youth in Port Elizabeth, and more recently 90/10 contributions to support Christian education and AIDS awareness projects in the Cape Orange Diocese of the ELCSA.

Thank you to all those who have contributed to the efforts over the years for our Haiti Mission work.
2011 Haiti Mission Trip
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers while we were away, please continue to pray for the people of Haiti, they are praying for us.
The construction and medical teams left the United States on January 6, 2011 and were bound for Haiti until January 16. They had the opportunity to meet many great people and do some great things on their ten day mission. Some of their experiences included work at the College de la Grace, playing with the local donkey "Wiggles," touring the hospital in Pignon, building re-bar towers and laying cement footings, and playing with the children, singing songs like "Itsy, Bitsy Spider" and "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes."
What an experience they all had! Check out their blog to see pictures and read stories and reflections from members of the medical and construction teams on this trip to Haiti. http://mnpartnerswithhim.blogspot.com/
