There Is A Season- A Limited Edition Book

The Reckoning International began its history by redeeming 150 slaves among the Tharu in Nepal and providing them with opportunities to create a livelihood. Today, the faith based organization is working in Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Dominican Republic, Ukraine and Nepal.

During Trinity's Fall Camp, a representative from The Reckoning presented a challenge to the Huddle groups-

Use your creativity and ingenuity to increase $100.00

within a span of three months.

My Huddle group's solution: a hand-made, limited edition book. Every image has been hand-printed, every book has been hand-sewn. After our pre-sale initiative, there are only 30 copies available. The price is only $20.00 with 100% of the proceeds going to The Reckoning International. And, if you are ordering from out of town I will personally pay the postage. By purchasing this book you become a part of something that is bringing hope to people in desperate need. For more information regarding The Reckoning International click here.

Our three month deadline is upon us.

You have an amazing opportunity to obtain this handmade book but you must place your order, with payment, by December 1. The books will be available in the office (or mail) by December 14, making a beautiful Christmas gift for the person who has everything.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. My email is mcarter@trinityprep.com.

Isaac speaking with Tim Troyer

Friday, Trinity had a visit from Tim Troyer, founder and director of

The Reckoning International.

Here is a clip from The Reckoning's Website-

The Reckoning International began exploring innovative and lasting solutions to poverty over ten years ago. We first redeemed 150 slaves among the Tharu in Nepal, then provided them with opportunities to create a livelihood.

Since that time, we have been slowly growing into an efficient organization that is overcoming poverty with opportunity. Through micro-loans, business training, and development initiatives, we've pioneered successful economic development projects in impoverished areas of Central America, Ukraine, Uganda, Burundi, and Kenya.

Thank you, Mr. Troyer. You left the students and faculty with many things to consider!
