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

Hey all, I pray everyone is doing well. There is not much to update on for this month. Most all our prayer requests are the same as last month. We continue to see God's provision in all our steps of preparing to leave for Honduras next year. We pray that soon we will be able to share a solid departure date.


The main news we wanted to share this month is a great joy in our lives. We wanted to share that we are currently expecting! We are due in November of this year, and are so excited to become parents. It fills us with elation even just thinking about it. We are so thankful to God for this gift God has provided us with. The baby is healthy and doing well, as is Emma. Please be praying for us as we seek to prepare well for parenthood.


We also wanted to share another praise, which is that we celebrated our 3 year anniversary just recently. We had a wonderful time reflecting on our past year and celebrating the future and hope God has for us.


Thank you for continuing to join us in prayer during this time in our lives.


-Gideon and Emma
