In addition to assisting the Crnkovic family with their travels in August, I had the privilege of speaking at the Westminister Pastors Fellowship at Calvary Baptist Church in Westminister, Maryland. It was a blessing to meet several new pastors and encourage them on the topic, “Conquering Our Ministry Fears.” An added blessing was having about 20 missionaries from International Partnership Ministries joining us. I praise the Lord for the invitation to return to that area by three different pastors who want me to return and share the ministry of EMU International. It was a whirlwind trip as I had to fly back on Saturday, August 24, to attend a surprise party celebrating my mom’s 80th birthday. I landed in Greenville and made it to the party just in time. My mom lives with us in Greer, SC. She is constantly on the go and loves hanging out with her friends from Cornerstone Baptist. She has some issues with her back so she has started physical therapy. Until this past year when her nursing license expired, she was a faithful volunteer at the pregnancy center.
Joanna and I celebrated our 35th anniversary in August. Here we are in Pigeon Forge. I had to get someone else to take this photo of the two of us.
Once again, we want to thank each of our ministry partners who make it possible for us to serve the Lord with EMU International. We could not do this without you. If you are interested in partnering with us financially, please contact me at jeff@emuinternational.org or click here to give today.

I still have a few open dates in my schedule for 2024. In addition to traveling and visiting the EMU International missionaries on their various fields of service, I have had the privilege of preaching in Christian School chapels, Pastors’ Fellowships, at Christian Camps, Missions Conferences, Revival Meetings, and Family Conferences. I am also available for single meetings to promote the work of EMU International. I would love the privilege of visiting your church and sharing how God is using the ministry of EMU International around the world. If you are interested in me visiting your church, please email me at jeff@emuinternational.org.
