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 are excited to honor Phil Greene as he reaches a remarkable milestone: 15 years of dedicated service with EMI! Since joining EMI Uganda, he has served in many roles with unwavering commitment and humility: as Construction Manager, Structural Engineer, Project Leader, Intern Coordinator, Engineering Manager, Deputy Director, and Office Director for the past four years. Through all of these roles, we have witnessed Phil’s deep passion for people and his heart for the gospel.

We appreciate Phil’s collaborative leadership style. Phil is an encourager whose enthusiasm, smile, and laugh brighten our days and energize our teams. Phil’s genuine love for our ministry partners keeps us motivated and excited about the incredible work God calls us to do together.

Phil and his wife, Emily, have three children, Jonathan, Evelyn, and Luke. Their dedication to building and nurturing relationships is evident in their readiness to support others and their active involvement in their local church. They have truly made a lasting impact on those around them, and we are grateful to share this journey with them.

Thank you, Phil, for your 15 years of service with EMI!

We're excited to celebrate Daniel Propst’s 10-year tenure with EMI! Daniel grew up in Kenya and comes from a long line of missionaries. He and his wife, Jen, met while they were both serving in southern Sudan. After working in the US manufacturing industry for several years, Daniel, Jen, and their three kids, Estella, Kharis, and Lawson, came to EMI Uganda to launch our Research and Development Programme as the R&D Manager.

Daniel embodies EMI’s core values. His desire to improve pushes us towards design and construction excellence. He drives us to utilize our diversity by seeking diverse cultural perspectives and incorporating our multidisciplinary experience. And he has a heart for the gospel and discipleship. Daniel has mentored many interns, led discipleship groups, and, through his devotions, he invites us into a deeper relationship with our loving Father.

Outside of EMI, Daniel has been a pillar of his church community, including being installed as an elder last year. He has a vast knowledge of the ubiquitous 1990s-era Toyota Landcruiser, with which he faithfully serves as the EMI Mamba driver (Makindye carpool car). Daniel is an excellent and charismatic storyteller and has a sharp and insightful sense of humor. He and Jen bring a wealth of global cultural expertise and maturity to our team, and we are so thankful for them!

Thank you, Daniel, for your ten years of service with EMI!
