Hi, my name is Emily!
After high school in 2023, I decided to do a Discipleship Training School with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). At the time, I simply wanted to know God better, but I found that the more I discovered God's love, the more I wanted others to know Him too! This changed the entire trajectory of my life!
Though I grew up in the church and loved Jesus deeply, I found myself hungry for a Christianity beyond more than just myself. The apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 1:27, “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ”. Upon reflecting on this, the Lord clarified what he’d been weighing upon my heart since my DTS. Did you know 60,000 people die every day without the opportunity to even hear Jesus’s name? I’ve realized I can no longer sit passively with this number, but am propelled to GO, knowing Jesus died for each person who wakes up to a purposeless life without Him.
I cannot say I’d be living “worthy of the gospel” unless I pursue His calling to missions! As I’ve been praying into where the Lord is leading me long term, I feel He’s given me a heart for Latin America. In the next couple months, I’ll begin making the transition to be a full time missionary serving with YWAM!
As a missionary, I will depend on the generosity of others to make a living. Would you consider being a part of the Great Commission by supporting me?
