In 2016, I met an engineering student named Phil before I moved to Nicaragua to work with a community development organization.
There were a couple things we didn’t see coming: I never imagined myself in an office full of architects and engineers, and he didn’t foresee himself living in Nicaragua.
And yet, in the Lord’s kindness and grace, He brought us together in marriage in 2018, and as leaders at EMI Nicaragua in 2021.
My first project trip gave me a vision for how a group of design professionals gathered closely around a table could empower Kingdom work, and EMI’s core values of Discipleship and Diversity drew me in.
From community projects in partnership with the local church to participating in the mobilisation of Latin Americans into global missions, there is so much we look forward to here.
We are uniquely placed to reach students and professionals with God’s redeeming love, as we embody a beautiful picture of the diverse body of Christ.
‘We are Christ’s ambassadors, as though God is making his appeal through us.’
