Dear Missions Partner,

 

First, we want to thank you so much for your support. We cannot express in words how much your participation in our lives means to us as we seek to serve God through being sent on missions. 

 

It is with heavy hearts that we must report to you, out of our responsibility to you as our partner, a change in our situation. Below is a letter explaining the update; please read it and join us in prayer. Please pause and proceed to read that letter now before continuing. 

 

We understand this is sudden, and we know we would wish it were any other way. We know this is not a surprise to God, and that His plan is greater than ours.

 

We want to commit this to you now; we are not giving up on being sent as missionaries. We will be taking stock, praying diligently, and seeking opportunities to glorify God by using the ways He has made us to serve Him as missionaries. We can commit to you that we are already praying over next steps and potential opportunities, which we hope to share with you in the near future as appropriate.

 

As for the funding we have raised, know that we have protected it and are stewarding it well. Nothing undue has happened to it. It is being held in trust at a partnering church 501 (c) (3); the charitable contribution is preserved. First, we ask that you stop giving to White Horse Missions on our behalf at this time. Second, if you have supported us financially, we ask that you prayerfully consider continuing to partner with us in the near future. All the missionary opportunities we are presently praying through all still involve fundraising in some capacity. But if you would like the money you have given to be used differently, please reach out to us as soon as you are able. We will respect your choice regardless. 

 

Thank you for your partnership with us. We do not see this as the end of the road, just a speed bump. We are still going on missions and still trusting God. Please continue to partner with us in prayer as we seek what’s next.

 

With love,

Gideon, Emma, and Laurence Owens

Hi, first off, we are so thankful to have the opportunity to bombard your email with our missions updates. It really means the world that you would take the time to read this little email. We have a major and exciting update to share with you all.


We will be leaving for Central America officially in the third quarter of 2026 (anywhere from July-Sept). Our first year will be spend in Siguatepeque, Honduras, in immersive langue training, while also beginning to meet pastors and build relationships with the churches and seminaries that White Horse Missions supports.


The ministry of White Horse is growing rapidly. Pastors are hungry for seminary training and people around Central America are hungry for the gospel. Having the opportunity to partner with White Horse in their ministry is something we both feel like God is calling us into. We estimate that it will cost around $3,500 USD a month to operate responsibly in Central America. That means if 60 people give $60 a month we will be fully funded! We ask that you would prayerfully consider giving towards this ministry.


We covet your prayers, support raising is hard, please pray for us as we prepare to grow our family with our first baby in November. Pray for our transition as a family of three into a new country and culture in 2026. Pray for wisdom and guidance.


If you have any questions or want to know more, or have any potential opportunities for us for fundraising, please reach out to us at our phone number at (864)-243-6867.


Thank you again for your time and prayers,

-Gideon and Emma Owens
