Over the past year, Emerge Ministries has continued to step into places of need with a clear calling—to bring hope, restoration, and the message of Christ to those who need it most.

In South Carolina, our prison ministry has continued to grow, reaching men and women across multiple facilities with the Gospel. Lives are being transformed through consistent outreach, faithful volunteers, and the power of God’s Word. At the same time, we are taking new steps to expand this ministry beyond the Southeast, with early efforts underway to establish a presence on the West Coast. This next phase represents both a challenge and an opportunity to carry the mission even further.

Here in North Carolina, our disaster relief work following Hurricane Helene has led to the rebuilding of homes and the restoration of families. What began with an urgent response has grown into a long-term effort to serve communities in Western North Carolina. As we look ahead to this year’s banquet, we anticipate celebrating the completion of our first new home build, with additional homes nearing completion and more already in progress. Our goal is to build at least 12 homes, with the potential to expand that number as resources allow.

Beyond these ongoing efforts, we are also actively assessing how we can respond to the recent wildfires across southern Georgia and northern Florida. As with every opportunity, we are seeking to move forward with wisdom, prayer, and readiness to serve where the need is greatest.

This evening is more than an event—it is an opportunity to see the impact of what God is doing through Emerge Ministries and to be part of what comes next. Together, we are moving forward with one common purpose.
