a Dan and Nora brief …

❤️    Dearest one …  2025-end is only hours away.  Nora and I are so grateful for your companionship and undergirding throughout ’25!  Each year adds new challenges and blessings, and your support of who we are and what we do is a true gift.  And yet we equally know the Lord is our true Provider and Sustainer.  Allowing gifts through the hearts of others, it is He who also allows us to move ahead each year into this deeper journey in Him, and the resultant overflow into the lives of others.  We simply cannot give what we do not have … and we are therefore utterly grateful for His life and Spirit pouring into us, in this NOW, all NOWs, and continually.  Indeed, we experience infinite grace and love in this journey we call life, which we contain within us as our life in Christ.   Following are a few photos (some repeated from ’25) of our year together with you, laboring and loving as we co-journey with you, together in this life and activity of ministry.                       “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 1:3-6   NIV   What a beautiful ‘mutual’ truth and gratefulness of “partnership” for Paul to write!  And written to those like you and me who have great care for the advancement of GOD’s Kingdom and domain.   We so look forward to our mutual entrance into 2026 with you by our side and in our lives!   We trust in prayer that we all will increasingly say “yes” to the Lord, His invitation, and He will pour into you and us ever more deeply in 2026 … for that is our truest “prosperity” and love … and that in turn into the lives of all in your sphere of relationships and influence!  ❤️  Dan …  what a joy-filled, “prosperity”-filled journey into 2026 we look forward to with you!!!    &                               We are now in the ending hours of 2025 and peering over the wall into 2026.  Some consider their EOY End-Of-Year giving at this time.   If that’s you, please consider us, and that your EOY gifts sustain us throughout the following year 2026.  Thank you!!!   Dan and Nora’s personal GSA giving site, for online gifts, please CLICK below on the link or scan QRC above:  https://www.globalassociates.org/members/daniel-emig ❤️   😊   2025 Mailed gifts postmarked by December 31st are good for the year 2025.   Donations mailing address noted on check: “for Daniel Emig”            ————————————– Global Service Associates – GSA  P.O.

Dear one  … 

Nora and I have hearts full, as we embrace this special season of thanks in our Lord’s incarnation among us and in our personal lives, our very being!!!

And our hearts are full in how we are so privileged to be and do this journey with you!!!  

What precious gifts GOD bestows into our lives in so many ways and in such abundance! 

Nora and I pray and hope for you a most Joyful Christmas with family and friends! 

This year, our hearts are full in “treasured” and “pondered“.  

Luke 2:18-19 
“and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.  But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them (all) in her heart.”   

Joy-filled Christmas in our love to you … ❤️  

 & 

Dan and Nora  

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. 

Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever. 

Give thanks to the Lord of Lords, for his steadfast love endures forever;”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭136‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬  ❤️   

Dearest CoJourneyer … 

Grateful beyond measure to be co-journeying with you, Nora and I greet you in this joyful Thanksgiving Season!  
Our hearts are full, as we have so much to give thanks for, in our journey in-Christ.  
 
As we all prepare and live into this last month of 2025/December, we trust GOD’s Presence in our lives, “Further up and further in.” as C.S. Lewis might say, into this all-surpassing love and life Christ bestows into us and allows us to live in-Him. 
 
His light into our hearts … that same light into others in our lives.  

  
89 years young, Nora and I, and then my brother’s(David) family, were able to get our dear Mom all packed up and moved to Arkansas.  There, she will live with David and Kelley, as she continues her journey in these latter years.  We are trusting this is the best-of-the-best decisions and moves for her, and thus far, that has proven true.  It was a difficult transition, with so many friends to say “good-bye” to, yet we are grateful for those years of excellent health for her.  
   

Though a crazy-busy time there packing her up, I/we did manage to break away and get some breakfast with some history-making friends from the University of Georgia days, and even some soul-food breakfast at the famous H&H Restaurant in Macon!  Thanks, Willie/”Buster”, Rhonda (Willie’s wife) and Jim, for making the time for a quick meal together!  Additionally, I was able to give a short ‘spiel’ to awesome men at Allen’s Tree Service / Caulion Allen company, in Warner Robins (Thanks, Caulion!!!) .  Our only regret is simply not having the time to get to the Athens/Watkinsville, GA area to see those we love.  

 Do join us and all others in giving thanks in all the Lord’s provisions, moment-by-moment … NOW-by-NOW! 

“Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭63‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Dearest CoJourneyer … 

“CoJourneyer” is appropriate, as Nora and I think of you in our hearts!  You have chosen, in love, to co-journey in our lives.  

We have chosen, in love, to cojourney in the lives of you and others.  

Our longest team trip ever (3 weeks) is now back, and they are excited to tell anyone who will listen about their time and relationships.  I have already heard two great presentations from different team members who chose to share in groups.  A theme highlight from the trip was how, though each experienced the regions differently, all realized that those they related to were living a faithful life under extremely difficult situations. Noted especially were those who must now leave a country as refugees and move back to their home country; many to dire locations of currently active actions against who they are as a people. 

Volumes could be written and related to you of all the experiences of their time in various regions. 
           

David’s (Dan’s brother) health … 
Thanks to all who have been praying for David’s aortic dissection surgery and recovery!  He was discharged from a Houston, Texas hospital that specialized in such surgeries, and is recovering very well back home in Rogers, Arkansas.  We rejoice that he has bounced back so well, yet know there is still a long road ahead for him.  Additionally, there is still a need for prayer, as some of the connective tissues are not responding fully, and he might have to be on antibiotics for an extended period of 1-2 years, plus.  

Loved our pop-in lunch time with Bill and Susan Anderson recently, as they came to Colorado on their multi-National Park trip.
