Got Prayer?, Meet Michael Au

From December 20, 2013

This is the fourth installment of Trinity’s “Meet the Church” Facebook series. In this edition we introduce to you: Michael Au, leader of Trinity Church’s prayer team and believer in the infinite possibilities God can do through prayer. 

You can catch Michael at the Got Prayer? table every Sunday.

My name is Michael Au and I’ve been coming to Trinity Church since November 2006.The first day I came, I felt God’s love through the people at Trinity. My definition of love is being cared for, being valued and being accepted. From God’s love, I surrendered my heart to Jesus as Lord and Savior three months after my first visit to Trinity. Since then life has not been the same.

From November 15, 2013

This is the third installment of Trinity’s “Meet the Church” Facebook series. In this edition, we want to introduce you to Jeff Cao, our administrative assistant and tremendous supporter of all our various ministries in the church. Like a true hype man, he’s always excited to talk about the great things that we’re doing for our community and he’s dedicated to seeing God’s word spread to all people everywhere. 

Jeff is a very sharp-dressed fella.

Hey all! My name is Jeffrey Cao and I am the administrative assistant here at Trinity. What exactly do I do? It’s kind of hard to explain. One of the things I do is support our ministries and volunteer with our youth at the church. Whether it’s with set up, prep work, even getting all our bulletins and programs printed out, I’m the guy they go to. Plus, every now and then there’s some IT needs and I lend a hand. I am a kind of a “hands-on” person, if you will.
