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, we pray this message finds you well and that your having a plesant summer so far. We have had a flury of succesful fundraising meetings this past month, and God's hand is providing steadily for our goal. Thank you to all who have recently joined us in giving us financial support and signing up for this newsletter. You are an answer to prayer. At this pace, we are on track to be fully funded in the comming months.


For praise reports beyond fundraising, we have enjoyed watching Laurence continue to grow big and strong. He is still teething, and we suspect he will soon be crawling. We are so thankful that God has blessed us with him, and that he is healthy and happy. We are also praising God for the continued connections and nonfinancial support we have been provided with as we ramp up to being sent out. Also, we are praising God that we get to celebrate our 4th aniversary this month! We are taking this weekend to reflect and thank God for our marraigae and ponder all the ways He has blessed us and helped us grown as a couple.


As for prayer requests, please as always be in continued prayer for our fundraising efforts. We are continuing to book meetings with churches and individuals at a healthy pace. Pray that God would go before us to help us find people of peace and resource who want to support us. Also, pray for us as we begins the process of shifting our roles and situation here in the USA towards begining to leave. This practically means things like slowly getting rid of belongings, deciding what to take with us, planning the future months around downsizing and consolidatating, and so much more that goes into moving a family into a new country.


Thanks so much for reading and joining us in prayer. Have a blessed month!


-Gideon and Emma
