Pressroom

Danielle first heard about EMI through a friendship with a former staff member while working for Samaritan’s Purse in North Carolina. Danielle has now served EMI faithfully in multiple offices since joining in 2014.

She first served as an intern in the India office in 2013, and then later joined the US Office as member staff, supporting the team with design, drafting, and editing the reports on many of our projects. Her attention to detail improved every project she touched in significant ways. She also helped organize and coordinate many of the details associated with our network and world staff conferences for several years, building on her similar past work at SP.  

In 2020, she followed a calling to move overseas and join the team in India, spending three and half years contributing to that team. Her architectural design talent continued to grow and she was able to have opportunity to use her interior design skills to support various design-build projects. In summer 2023, Danielle rejoined the US Office and has been a significant contributor to our architectural team and co-leader on several project trips. She brought back with her a deep love for India that continues to be evident in her work and her relationships. In addition to her keen eye for design and detail, her deep commitment and responsibility has been a huge blessing to our team and ministry clients.

Outside of the office, Danielle is known for her excellence in sewing, baking, and artistic expression – any way of bringing more beauty to the environment around her. She is also well-known for being able to plan an event around any theme or excuse for bringing people together. 

We are so grateful for Danielle’s 10 years of service and look forward to many more to come!

We're thrilled to invite you to celebrate Baher Wassif's journey with EMI! Over the past decade, Baher has contributed to more than 90 EMI projects, starting as a volunteer during his time as an architecture student in college. After graduating university with a B.Arch in 2011, he joined the EMI MENA team in 2014 as a staff architect. Baher quickly excelled as a project leader and furthered his education, earning a Masters degree in Non-Profit Management in 2020. His deep devotion to God and dedication to ministry have played a vital role in EMI's impact worldwide.

Baher and his wife, Sarah, have been happily married for 8 years. They've dedicated their lives to serving in various ministries and their local church, using their professional skills to help others. In 2022, they moved over 12,000 kilometers west to join the EMI Mexico office, where Baher leads projects and supports office leadership by training new staff and shepherding the overall vision of the team, while Sarah serves as intern coordinator. They are making a positive impact in their new home and continue to spread love and kindness wherever they go.

We joyfully celebrate this milestone with Baher and offer prayers for continued blessings upon him and Sarah in the years to come. Thank you, Baher and Sarah!
