I wanted to take a moment to share something that’s become deeply personal to me—what God has been doing in my life through missions, and where He’s leading me next.

Over the past few months, I completed a Discipleship Training School with EveryHeart Movement, a YWAM community based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. EveryHeart exists to see a generation met and sent by the love of Jesus—not through pressure or performance, but through worship, prayer, and Gospel-centered presence in cities across America.

Those months were a sacred season of quiet undoing and rebuilding. I came in carrying years of striving and burnout, unsure if I had anything left to give. But in His kindness, God met me with healing—reminding me that love isn’t earned, it’s received. My heart was softened. My identity was restored. And I was given a new lens for what it means to walk with Jesus: slow, steady, rooted.

Now, I’ve stepped into a new chapter as a full-time missionary on staff with EveryHeart. Over the next year, I’ll be serving the movement in several ways—one of them being media, where I’ll serve as a modern-day scribe, documenting the story of how God is meeting this generation. As a first-year staff member, I’m stepping in with the posture of a learner. This year is about formation—learning to carry the culture of our team, the burden of intercession, and the call to minister with love and integrity.

This is the beginning of a dream God placed in my heart long ago: to travel and tell honest stories that reflect His heart. To create things that remind people—especially the lonely and overlooked—that they are noticed, known, and loved.

Because this role is full-time and missions-based, I’m building a passionate and close-knit support team of monthly and one-time partners who feel led to walk with me in this. I’m trusting God to provide $3,000/month, which will cover housing, travel, daily needs, creative equipment, and ongoing ministry opportunities. But more than provision, I’m believing for partnership—people who want to sow into a story being written slowly and faithfully by the Lord.

If this stirs something in your heart—or if you simply want to stay connected—I’d love to share more. Whether through prayer, financial support, or encouragement, your presence matters more than you know. Your support doesn’t just send me—it sends the Gospel to a generation in need of truth and love.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Missions was never meant to be done alone—it’s something we carry together.

With gratitude,

Emily
