Quick Update!

Hello all!

Just a quick update...

Montreal 2015

A group of members from Bethany Baptist Church (including myself) will be going to Montreal (Canada) to share Gospel in June-- this is a very diverse city, with less than 2% being Christian. Please pray with me that this trip will go well - and that we will be able to connect people to the NAMB (North American Mission Board) missionaries there and their church plant. As always, I never know what the mission trip will hold in store for us - but God is in control, and I will keep y'all updated! Please pray for the preparations and keep the missionaries who are already there in your prayers. If you would like to support financially - I have sent out letters that you should be getting within the next week. If you do not get one of these and would like one, please let me know.

Here in Louisville

So a small update on where I am -- I am about 10 classes away from graduation (about a year) - but I will be remaining in Louisville for a few more years to complete a Master of Divinity at the Billy Graham of School of Missions at Southern Seminary. The IMB (International Mission Board) has changed their requirements for those seeking to be sent out as career missionaries - to include graduate hours. I will be completing most of this in Louisville - but (Lord willing) should be moving overseas in about 4 years. I will be overseas for about 2, will come back for about 6 months, and then - (Lord willing) - will be appointed as an official missionary and go out long term. My parents have helped me out financially in the past - but this will stop once I graduate. Please be in prayer that God will provide the funds and the patience necessary to achieve one more degree.

Ministry wise - I have been volunteering my time at a homeless shelter in downtown Louisville (Louisville Rescue mission (formally known as Jeff Street Baptist Center). I've been working at a day shelter for women at least one a day week - providing food, showers, laundry, and love. Please pray for these women - they live very hard lives... and seem quite confused as to who God is. I've also met two people at a local coffee shop - who I was able to witness too. Pray for them - and for me or whoever finds themselves in a conversation with them next - that focuses on the Gospel. Pray they may come to faith.

I've finally got an email subscription list up and going - if you would like to be added to that list please email me at emilyonmission@gmail.com. I've got a bit more on it than I do with this blog post -- sort of a recap of the last few trips. Usually it will be a little different, but not much. So if you'd like to get an email instead of checking this blog -- that would be the way to do it if you haven't already subscribed to this blog via email.

Thank you! :)
