One major concept we emphasize while mentoring and equipping church leaders is understanding the Trinity. This foundational truth shapes our worship and our mission. At Developing Workers, we also teach the Trinity to the global church, uniting believers in worship of the one true God. The book Experiencing the Trinity offers profound insights into this topic, helping us articulate and deepen our understanding.
Author Darrell Johnson writes:
“As I have been reflecting on this, I have come to see that we are co-lovers in three ways. We are co-lovers with God of God. We are co-lovers with God of one another. We are co-lovers with God of the world.”
This quote beautifully captures the communal nature of our relationship with God, one another, and the world.
- And together, as a global church, we love the world, declaring the gospel in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- Together, as the body of Christ, we love God, demonstrating our worship and adoration.
- Together, in community, we love one another, reflecting God’s love within the church.
Understanding and embracing the Trinity is essential to knowing God. This is why Developing Workers is committed to teaching this truth globally—to ensure that as a united body, we worship God rightly and carry His message to the ends of the earth.
As you reflect on this truth, consider Paul’s Trinitarian prayer in Ephesians 3:14–21. We encourage you to pray this Scripture over your life this week, asking God to reveal Himself more deeply as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Parker Family Update:
Please join us in prayer for the Parker family.
On November 11, 2024, Simon James Parker, son of Jeremy and Natalie Parker, was born and gave them about 1 hour and 45 minutes before he went into the loving arms of Jesus.
The Parkers have known since July that any time with Simon would be a gift, as he was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 and had complications incompatible with life here on earth. They are doing well but are grieving the loss of their firstborn.
We ask you to pray for comfort and peace for the Parker family during this time of loss.
