Emerald Hills Update

by Doug Lucas, President of Team Expansion

Miriam Matters
During a prayer journey to pre-war Syria, in the city of Aleppo, I captured photos of a number of unforgettable people. One of those was of a young school-girl we called Miriam. We prayed for her. It was as if she represented all Syrians for us, even though she was one anonymous little girl.

Four years later, as Team Expansion full-timers began to arrive in the region, I led a second prayer journey to Syria. While there, we decided one day that we would try to find her. All we had to go on was one snapshot — in a city of 2 million people. After many hours, one local informant recognized an ad on a lamp-post in the background of the photo. Thirty minutes later, we were drinking tea with “Miriam” and her family. She was a shy, dark-eyed 12-year-old with bright hopes in a promising future. She didn’t have email — and messages to her uncle haven’t been answered since. No one knows now if she’s even still alive. But Miriam still matters. She matters to us — and she matters to God.

That’s why Emerald Hills exists. Over the past two weeks at Emerald Hills, 20 new full-timers have been training for global deployment. Last Wednesday, two dozen 10-week short-term workers returned for debriefing of their summer of service. And today, as I write this article, another 20 saints arrive to begin Kairos training to understand and sense God’s heart for the nations. These world-changers will share the Good News of Christ to Miriam’s throughout the nations to 2.9 billion unreached people. Your prayer and partnership with Emerald Hills make all this happen. Miriam matters to us. And we know she does for you as well. Thank you for your partnership in the gospel.
