Joel & Emma Tauscher Newsletter (Winter 2026)

Hello Prayer Partners,

We’re so thankful for each of you and the way you continue to support and pray for us. We wanted to share a glimpse of what God has been doing here and what’s coming up next!

Emma has been spending a large portion of her time working on the Hall of Faith visitor center. She’s been designing graphic designs that are printed on walls that tell the story of what God has done through pictures and visual storytelling. This has been a huge project, but also one where she has clearly seen God’s hand at work, from creative direction to endurance and problem-solving along the way. It’s been incredible to watch this space come together and know it will encourage and point people to God for years to come.

Emma has also been given the opportunity to mentor and train two new students in her department. Walking alongside them and encouraging their growth has been such a joy. Please pray for wisdom and discernment as she continues to invest in these students. 

Joel has recently shifted into a middle-management role, which has brought a new set of responsibilities. He’s been focusing heavily on schedules, maintenance calendars, and helping ensure that things run smoothly behind the scenes. While much of this work isn’t always seen, it plays a vital role in supporting the ministry and keeping everything prepared for teams, students, and events throughout the year.

One of our favorite new things we’ve started has been “Sundays at the Tauschers” for the Sojourner students. We’ve been opening our home, sharing good food, and spending intentional time with the Bible college students. It’s been such a sweet time of community and discipleship, and we’re grateful for the chance to pour into them in a more personal way.

Looking ahead, we are beyond excited to be leading a team to Paraguay this summer! Our team will be serving on a remote property that will eventually become a mission trip training hub for Paraguayan youth. The property will help equip and disciple future generations to serve God in their own country. We’re so excited to see how God will work through this team and this project.

Please pray with us:

• For faithfulness as we serve each day 

• For strength and encouragement for the months ahead

• For meaningful community and discipleship through Sundays at the Tauschers

• For our upcoming Paraguay team: safe travel, strong team unity, and lasting spiritual fruit

Thank you for being such a vital part of what God is doing through prayer and support. We’re so grateful for you and how you make it possible for us to serve here. 

In Christ, 

Emma & Joel
