"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations."
Wendy Gornicz - Missions Coordinator
For over 100 years, Emmanuel Assembly has been a Missions-Minded Church. We have been giving financial and prayer support to missionaries both local and abroad for many years. Just like they did in the early church, God’s people today are called to give to missions so that the Gospel will spread throughout the world. At Emmanuel, we support missions organizations here in the local community as well as AG missionaries who travel abroad to various countries throughout the world.
Every November, we hold a Missions Conventions with a guest missionary visit each Sunday of the month. It is always a wonderful to hear their stories, testimonies and amazing work they are doing for God's Kingdom. Be on the lookout for information on the 2025 Missions Convention to be posted in the coming months on our website and facebook!

May Monthly Missionary Highlight
Pat and Brenda Mahar

Pat and Brenda are currently missionaries in Italy. They accepted their missionary assignment in 1994 after spending 8 years in the U.S. in various pastoral roles. Their family has served as missionaries to Cameroon and Botswana, Africa for 18 years, where they raised their daughter and son. When they transferred to Greece in 2011, they served as pastors at International Christian Fellowship of Athens (ICF). During their time, they were very involved with inner-city ministries and with refugees from the Middle East who entered Europe, seeing many nominal Muslims come to Jesus. ICF Padova continues to grow in its ministries to the Italian and international communities in Northern Italy. They started their journey learning Italian and now they are ministering to more than 30 nations of the world in their church!
Pat and Brenda also have two children who are married with their own families and serve in full- time ministry. Their daughter Marissa, and son in law, Matt, pastor in Greece. Their son Marco, and daughter in law, Courtney, minister in Tallahassee, Florida.
We ask for your prayers for the refugees representing the 30 nations that have fled to Italy and have opened their hearts to the Gospel.
