The extraordinary impact of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Ridgewood, NJ
Gift of Life Program
A small congregation with an extraordinary mission: providing life-saving pediatric heart surgeries to children around the world who would otherwise have no hope.
Our Mission
Trinity International Mission exists to bring hope and healing to children with congenital heart disease—proving that grace can heal any wound, no matter how deep or how distant.
Our core program funds pediatric cardiac surgeries for children whose families could never afford the care their children desperately need. Each surgery costs a fraction of what it would in the US, but means everything to a family.
From Myanmar to Romania, Vietnam to Honduras, we partner with medical teams and local organizations across more than 10 countries to identify children in need and coordinate life-saving care.
While we reach across oceans, we also invest locally—supporting food pantries, community projects, and families in need right here at home. Loving our neighbors means caring for them everywhere.
Our Reach
From small villages to capital cities, we've partnered with medical teams across the globe to give children a second chance at life.

The extraordinary impact of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Ridgewood, NJ
Trinity Presbyterian Church in Ridgewood, New Jersey, may have just 30 regular worshipers, but our impact spans the globe. What began as a goal to save 100 hearts has grown into a movement that has transformed more than 450 lives.
We believe that faithful generosity can move mountains—or in our case, repair tiny hearts. Every child we help represents a lifetime of possibilities: graduations, weddings, careers, families of their own. Your gift doesn't just save a life; it unlocks an entire future.
Led by Rev. Dr. Sam Stone, our congregation has chosen to prioritize impact over institution. We sold our building to focus on what matters most: loving our neighbors across the street and around the world.
