GoServ Global

Last year marked 125 years of Trondhjem Lutheran Church. We are a small, rural church with approximately 30 active members. Despite our small number, we embarked on a new mission for Haiti through GoServ Global. GoServ Global is a Christian, non-profit organization based out of Eagle Grove, Iowa. A couple congregants had heard of a need for a Birthing Center and a Safe T Home®. We answered the call and not only ensured they’d have the funding for the Birthing Center’s land, but also that they’d have EIGHT Safe T Homes®! We are excited to know that a women’s medical center will help to save the lives of mothers and their newborns.

The Birthing Center has not yet been built. Hurricane Matthew devastated the area in which GoServ Global serves and caused much devastation last fall, but we are hopeful the building process will happen this year.

Below is a photo of a Safe T Home®. (Photo deleted, as it's no longer available.) A Safe T Home® is a modified grain bin that is used for compassionate housing. GoServ Global teamed up with Sukup Manufacturing to create the Safe T Home® (https://www.sukup.com/Buildings/144/Safe-T-Home).
