This month’s Update opens with a reflection on God’s preserving care—felt vividly during a long day of delayed flights, deplaning, thunderstorms, and a midnight arrival home. After a full month of ministry and family time in Minneapolis, Psalm 121’s promise that the Lord “preserves our going out and our coming in” became a steady reminder of His faithful watch over every mile.
This month’s update also includes:
- A look back at July’s ministry travels, including preaching in North Carolina, Michigan, and Minnesota, reconnecting with ministry friends, and meeting new partners excited about gospel work.
- Sweet family moments in Minneapolis as Joanna helped Abby’s family welcome baby Pierson Jeffers Prigge, our tenth grandchild.
- Link to the August EMU International Newsletter, featuring: A month of “heatwaves and highways” and encouraging ministry across the lands, A full update on the Bible Institute in Uruguay (IBD) and its growing online training program, FEBU’s record enrollment and new ministry opportunities in Uruguay, Global updates from India and Cambodia, including biblical training, translation work, and upcoming conferences. ,
- A major prayer request for the August 3–16 work trip to Uruguay, including urgent needs for the water‑treatment system, tree removal, and access‑road repairs.
- A personal prayer request for our son Caleb, who is recovering from a concussion.

I am continuing to build my 2026 calendar. You can view my schedule here: pastorjeffdavis.com/schedule. I would love the privilege of visiting your church and sharing how God is strengthening national leaders and advancing the Gospel across the lands.

We are also praying for additional monthly financial partners. Your support helps missionaries stay on the field, strengthens national pastors, and advances gospel work where the needs are great. For more information, contact me at jeff@emuinternational.org or click here to give today.
