Trina has dedicated herself to pastoral care for individuals struggling with addiction since 2023, with a specialized focus on supporting the families of those affected.

Trina’s journey with Stauros Ministries began in an unexpected yet transformative manner. In 2004, amidst personal trials due to her husband’s battle with addiction, they encountered an advertisement for a Stauros Rally. This event, hosted at a local church, marked their inaugural engagement with Stauros. 

Participation in Stauros events and the ensuing fellowship became a cornerstone for Trina, fostering a profound, personal relationship with God. This newfound faith equipped her to navigate the complexities of a situation beyond her control. Moved by her experiences and the lessons learned, Trina felt a calling to extend her support to others facing similar adversities. Her mission is to convey a message of companionship and hope, affirming that no one is isolated in their struggles.
