Since childhood, Emma has always known that God was calling her to serve overseas as her family hosted international students and mission workers in her home. After praying for God to show her his heart and his way, in 2009, she went to serve with the IFES movement SCO (the Student Christian Organisation) in South Africa.
Emma was initially sent from her home church and in 2012, was asked if she’d consider joining SIM to help the organisation think through how to engage with university students globally.
In 2019, Emma was invited into the global leadership team and today, serves with the international directors team as one of their global directors.
As the Global Director of Ministry Outreach, Emma comes alongside SIM’s entity directors and ministry team leads to consider the many ways in which our workers can be reaching out to communities where Christ is least-known.
She also coordinates our team of Ministry Point People, who serve the mission in a variety of areas from next generation to business ministries; world views and diaspora to vulnerable communities; and theological education to equipping the church and discipleship.
Emma has two wonderful sending churches in Exeter and Sevenoaks and two other faithful churches that support her – one in West Sussex and where she worships in Cape Town, South Africa.
Please pray:
- for wisdom, discernment and creativity as Emma engages with our entity directors and ministry leaders in strategy, vision and mission;
- for open doors as we consider partnerships;
- for opportunities and open doors;
- that God would raise up workers for the harvest field that is plentiful;
- that Emma would seek God’s face in all things.
