Program areas at Greenhouse Collective Abiding Together
The Greenhouse Collective website contains religious resources for Christians who are striving to live the Gospel. The vision is to provide resources, training, and support to Greenhouse leaders. Greenhouse leaders may use these resources in their small-group formation ministry. Please see the Greenhouse Collective website at https://greenhousecollective.org/ for more information.
We continue to promote lay missionary activity by assisting lay missionaries. Lay missionaries serve the material and spiritual needs of poor in the United States and overseas. During 2021 Trinity World Missions provided resources and financial support to two lay missionaries who are serving the poor, primarily in the southeastern United States, in the states of Louisiana, Florida, and North Carolina. Please see Schedule O for more information. During 2022, Trinity World Missions sponsored one lay missionary in the state of Louisiana but there was no financial support required during 2022.
Abiding Together is best known for its religious podcast now beginning its 13th season. This weekly podcast hosted by Michelle Benzinger, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, and Heather Khym, provides a place of connection, rest, and encouragement for people who are on the journey of living out their passion and purpose in Jesus Christ. This ministry and podcast grew from 561,176 downloads in 2019 to 2,217,770 downloads in 2020. Monthly donations more than doubled. But there is more than a podcast here. Our website provides resources for Christians. There is the popular "Studies and Series." For example, there are multi-part series on women in the Bible, Jesus as revealed in the Bible, women Doctors of the Church, and the Trinity. There are studies on four apostolic letters: Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letter Mulieris Dignitatem on the Dignity and Vocation of Women, Gaudete Et Exsultate (Rejoice and Be Glad) by Pope Francis, and Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium - The Joy of the Gospel. For 2023, Christifideles Laici was added. This is a five-part series exploring the vocation and mission of the laity as found in St. Pope John Paul II's apostolic exhortation.
