“I’m not scared to tell people about the Lord,” Joy says. “So, I was like, ‘Why not?’ If the Lord's going to send somebody, why wouldn't it be me?” Joy currently attends Ohio University, where she studies psychology and actively participates in an outreach program with her church. This summer she’s going to Thailand and Cambodia with Encompass to see if God might be calling her to long-term missions. Check out Joy’s story and ask God to make an impact through her this summer: https://encompassworldpartners.org/story/unafraid-to-share-joy-goes-to-se-asia

A few years ago, Laura’s parents became cross-cultural workers in France. As Laura visited them, she gained an understanding of the culture and even got to interact with our internship team there in an unofficial capacity. This summer, she’s stepping into an official leadership role, where she’ll use her experience as a teacher to invest in this year’s interns. Check out Laura’s story, and praise God for calling her to spend her summer serving God’s kingdom! https://encompassworldpartners.org/story/laura-helps-lead-team-internship-in-france

This week, we remember three faithful former Encompass workers—Mike Volovski, Ruth Ann Martin, and Imogene Burk—whose lives were marked by decades of gospel ministry around the world. Though we grieve their passing, we rejoice that they are now in the presence of Jesus, whom they served so faithfully in the Central African Republic, Argentina, Brazil, and beyond. Please pray for their friends and families, and find details regarding their memorial services here: https://encompassworldpartners.org/story/remembering-mike-volovski-ruth-ann-martin-and-imogene-burk

“A Third of Us” is a movement bringing awareness to the fact that one third of the world’s population doesn’t have access to the gospel. As part of the movement, supporters are posting pictures of their hand with three lines drawn on it for the International Day for the Unreached (May 24). Learn more at athirdofus.org.
