We would love to stay connected with you each month. God has given us the privilege of serving missionaries, encouraging churches, and watching His work unfold in places near and far. Our monthly email is a simple way for us to share those stories—updates from the field, answered prayers, glimpses of family life, and the quiet ways the Lord is at work in the lives of people we care about. If you want to pray more intentionally and follow along with what God is doing through EMU International and our partners, we would be grateful to have you join the journey. Subscribe today.
