Each month, our Missions Committee highlights the missionaries Trinity supports so our church family can know them, pray for them, and see how God is at work through your giving.
The Pervis Family – Serving in Athens, Greece
David and Erin Pervis have devoted more than two decades to cross-cultural ministry and church planting in Eastern Europe. After serving from 1999–2012 on a church-planting team in Sofia, Bulgaria, and from 2012–2017 in Kyiv, Ukraine, they began a new season of ministry in 2018 in Athens, Greece.
Today, they partner with a Greek evangelical church in an Athens suburb, ministering primarily to Middle Eastern refugee families. Through English lessons, Bible studies, and special gatherings at Voula House, they build relationships that open doors for gospel conversations and long-term discipleship. What often begins as language instruction becomes an opportunity for refugees to ask honest spiritual questions and encounter the hope of Christ.
In addition to refugee ministry, David and Erin support the growth of Glyfada Church and emerging church plants in Pangrati and Nea Smyrni. They assist with worship, outreach efforts, and partnerships that serve vulnerable communities in the city, including anti-trafficking initiatives.
Prayer Requests
That Bible studies and English lessons at Voula House would strengthen believers and draw others to Christ
That Glyfada Church and new church plants would grow in maturity and fruitfulness
That God would provide endurance, wisdom, and continued language growth for David and Erin
That their family would reflect Christ wherever they live, work, and serve
We are grateful for the long obedience and steady faithfulness the Pervis family has demonstrated over many years of ministry.
Unbound 216 – Local Ministry Partner
Unbound 216 is a faith-based transitional care ministry committed to walking with men during incarceration and continuing intensive discipleship after release. Their approach is rooted in long-term gospel transformation rather than short-term assistance alone.
While men are still inside prison, Unbound 216 builds relationships and provides spiritual mentorship. After release, that discipleship continues through accountability, life-skills development, church connection, and community support. The goal is not only successful reentry, but lives reshaped by Christ — spiritually, relationally, and vocationally.
This month’s Alms Offering supports the work of Unbound 216, and our Mercy Committee will match donations dollar-for-dollar.
In addition to financial support, we are collecting the following items throughout March to encourage and equip men in the program:
Full-size toothpaste (4 oz or larger)
Plain white crew socks (no logos or markings)
Full-size candy bars
6-pack snack crackers
Individually wrapped 2-cookie packs
Thank you for helping extend Christ’s mercy in tangible and transformational ways within our own community.
