Hello! Follow here to stay updated with everything happening with my time at YWAM!

WE ARE BACK FROM OUTREACH! Central Asia and Germany were amazing and we loved it so much! Outreach was powerful and God moved mightily in each country. We saw a total of 11 salvations/rededications and many seeds planted in lives along the way.

My students graduated from DTS last Saturday and it was a bittersweet moment! I’m so proud of them and all they have accomplished but I will miss this season with them!

I’m back in Nashville and I’m excited for what we have to come this summer as a base! We will be partnering with ministries and volunteering at festivals, CMA fest, as well as running a summer camp for 500+ high school students, and preparing for another DTS next fall!

With that being said I’m still praying for monthly supporters to partner with me as I continue in full-time missions. I’m believing for around $1000/month still, and I know God will provide! Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me?

Hey Everyone!

Can’t believe it’s October! Today is Arrival Day for our students! We have 36 individuals coming from all over to join us in our Discipleship Training School this fall. They are all arriving today and 6 of the girls will be living with me! I get the privilege to be their house mom and walk with them through this season. I’m so excited for what’s to come and I know this is going to be an awesome experience!

I just sent out my newsletter for the month of September. If you would like to be added to that please let me know your email, and I will get you signed up to receive those!

In my newsletter I had some exciting news! I received my OUTREACH LOCATION! I am leading a team to CENTRAL ASIA and GERMANY!!! (I can’t specify which country in Central Asia due to it being a closed nation). So at the beginning of January I will be leading a team of students with my co-leader to these nations to spread the Good News and serve the communities there!
With that being said, I’m am praying and believing God for $3000 to pay for my expenses to get to these nations. I’m trusting God and know that He will provide! Please prayerfully consider partnering with me to help me get to these nations. Thank you!!

FIRST WEEKS WITH YWAM FIRE & FRAGRANCE NASHVILLE

Hello everyone! Hope you are doing good! I have been in Nashville for just about two weeks and wanted to give you an update on how everything is going.

We spent this past week going through our values and team culture as a YWAM base and casting a vision on how we want this year to look like. It was such a good reminder of why we are here. Our classes included teachings of some of YWAM’s core values such as - presence centeredness, culture of celebration, initiatory leadership, culture of worship, and happy holiness. It was so good to lay the foundation of how we are to live and be as a base. Along with classes we spend time worshiping, praying, and interceding for Nashville and the Nations. I am loving my time here so far. It’s truly a blessing to be surrounded by people that are so wholeheartedly in love with Jesus and are expectant for what He is going to do not only in Nashville, but in every nation.

We had the opportunity this past Monday and Tuesday to help the incoming freshman class at Lipscomb University move in. It was so nice to serve them, encourage them, and share the love of God with them. We are really believing that there is going to be a move of God across the campuses here. Would you join me in praying for that?

God has been so good to me with making this transition smooth, giving me a great community, and gripping my heart for the lost here in Nashville. Thank you for your continuing support and prayers. It means so much to me! God Bless!

YWAM WEEK 9
Hope you all had a wonderful week! I had yet another amazing week here in Kona! This week was focused on Holiness and Fear of the Lord! The Holy Spirit really moved through every class and it was all so powerful!

We got to hear this week from Gabe Stardom who leads the Fire & Fragrance base in South Africa. Some things that he said that really stuck out to me about holiness are that … everyone is holy, but unto what? Being holy is being set apart to it. We have been made holy by His blood and sanctified by the work of the Holy Spirit. Because we are saved, the spirit of holiness lives in us and we should hate sin and want to be set apart to God. Now Fear of the Lord does not mean that we are afraid of Him, but is that we respect Him so much because of our love for Him. Love grows with time spent in safety and that covenant of love forces a level of respect. And because of that deep covenant of love, we obey because of the protection of that love. During class we got to have some ministry time where we got to just sit in the presence of His Glory and it was incredible. I really realized how Jesus is comforting and will meet you where you are and sit and comfort you. It’s so very important to have a secret place of sanctuary where we step into His Glory and just receive from Him.

The excitement in me rises every day as we get closer to outreach and I just can’t wait to be in Africa! Hearing from our Burundi contact was stirring up my heart and really just getting me excited for all we get to be apart of on outreach! In just 2 weeks we will be headed off to Africa!! Please partner with me in prayer for this journey!

This week was also University of the Nations showcase, where we got to hear about all of the courses they offer and all the opportunities they have! It was really cool to hear and begin to pray about what God has for my future! Then this weekend too we had some time with our Africa tram and had a gingerbread competition. It’s always fun to spend time with them!

And the last picture is me working in the cafeteria at the base with my friend. I work 2 days a week there and enjoy serving my fellow students!

Have a great week and God bless you all!
Love, Emma

PRAISE JESUS! I’m fully funded! With your help and the Lord's provision, I’m fully funded for the outreach to Africa! Thank you all very much for giving and supporting me! It really means so much to me! In just 15 days I will be heading to Burundi!

Today we got to meet with our Burundi contact because he is here in Kona for some meetings. It was so fun to hear about all the ministry and opportunities we will get to do while we are there! We get to work with hundreds of kids, preach and lead worship in local churches, take a 7-mile hike up a mountain to minister to villages, do hospital ministry, and will even have an opportunity to build a house for a family! It’s making me really excited and eager to get there!! But along with all the excitement there is also the reality of the severe poverty there. I just learned that Burundi is actually the poorest country in the world. I realized that I need to prepare my heart and mind because I'm going to see things that will truly break my heart! Our Burundi contact said so many kids struggle with malnutrition, many families don’t have a home, and most people don’t even touch as much as $20 in their lifetime! Hearing about the poverty there is really tugging on my heart and I would really like to do more! I would love to be able to bless the people there with some necessities they may need. Such as food, clothes, meds, and more.

If you would like to partner with me and the Lord puts it on your heart to give to bless the people of Burundi, you can give through Venmo (Emma-Ferguson-19), and that money will specifically go towards blessing the people of Burundi & the YWAM base in Burundi that minister in that region. Thank you so much for your consideration!
I will be in touch again in a couple of days with my normal weekly update. God bless!

YWAM WEEK 8
Hope your Thanksgiving was so good! We got the day off, so we had a long weekend which was really nice to relax and explore more of Hawaii! During this weekend, I really realized how blessed I am to be here doing this surrounded by these incredible people! I’m so thankful for the Lord making a way for me to be here, for all who have given so I could come, and all who have poured into me during my time here so far!

“Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever!”
Psalm 106:1

Biblical Worldview was our topic this week. Jesus asks us for our allegiance and when we say “yes” to Jesus, it means we say “no” to everything else. We have been taken captive by the things of this world and Jesus wants to set us free. The question isn’t if we are a disciple, it’s who are we a disciple of? Is Jesus the focus of our life, the One we run to when we are pain, and the One we obey? Secularism has created the inability to find meaning, so we try to find meaning in things that don’t satisfy, but Jesus gives all meaning. When we live for God, we find all meaning. Jesus will lead us to wholeness.

In a world that believes you cannot tell anyone they are wrong, we believe Jesus came to call the world to repentance and as His church we will continue what He started. But we cannot call people to repentance if we don't do it in love and if we do not repent ourselves.

Besides class being amazing, farm track this week was very fun! We learned about propagation and the black soldier fly. We got to go through the process of the insect, when they lay the eggs, to then being separated to be made into fish food, then we got to make the fish food. Propagation was so cool too and something I have never learned about before!

Hope your week and weekend was great! God bless you all!

Love, Emma

I'm overwhelmed by God's faithfulness and provision. And I'm extremely grateful for so many that have donated to my 3-month mission in Africa. I thank God for you and pray for you!!
