SIFAT:  Servants in Faith and Technology

Oct. 17, 2011 Chris Underwood

One of the most vital ministries which Trinity supports is that of SIFAT, which stands for Servants in Faith and Technology.  Based in Lineville, Alabama, SIFAT is one of our partners with whom we have sent mission teams to Ecuador, Bolivia, and Zambia.

SIFAT’s mission is to share God’s love in practical ways, using appropriate, sustainable technology in countries where they work. Recently, SIFAT hosted guests from Haiti, Nigeria, and India. For several weeks at the Lineville campus, they learned skills which they will take back to communities in their home countries. They learned everything from how to build a rocket stove to how to deliver a baby, purify water using car batteries and salt, and how to make a community plan for economic development.  SIFAT students are pastors, missionaries, and agents of change in their own communities.
