To the Churches Whose Missionaries Have Come “Home”
ByEmily April 17, 2020November 21, 2023
It was 2001. My family had arrived in Kazakhstan in 1996, the first American family in our town, and been joined by other Americans and Aussies over the next several years.

Blessed are the Persecuted
ByEmily January 4, 2015November 21, 2023
It was the morning of Good Friday, almost 2000 years after Jesus was on trial. My father and other organization members had gone to the courthouse. I lived with my family in Central Asia, and for months our whole team had faced investigation from the government, court summons, attempts to sneak out of the country…
