If you are new to reading this little blog you might not know the story behind the prayers I call for pretty regularly, for sweet Emily Rea. Emily is a niece of a good friend of mine. She has been missing since July 16, 2024, when she went paddle boarding in the Hungry Horse Reservoir in Montana. Her paddleboard was found down creek almost 2 miles but no Emily. After months and months of searching, following up on hundreds of leads, using divers, dogs, and countless volunteers, our sweet Emily Rea is still missing.
As you can imagine it got difficult through the winter to search physically, however, that hasn’t stopped the team of volunteers and authorities who continue to be on the case. Yesterday we got an update through the Facebook group set up for her last year, “Search for Emily Rea”. Please follow this page if you are on social media. I wanted to share the update here to let everyone know that the search continues. In the update yesterday, the team is calling for continued prayers, and I know all of you who read this little blog lift them whenever I come here with requests. So, I’m requesting this morning, please continue to pray daily for Emily Rea’s return. Father knows where she is, ask that He lift her so that the authorities may see her and return her home to her family.
Here is the latest update from the faithful group of volunteers leading the search:
To our incredible, extended Emily community:
We want to thank you for your continued love, support, and prayers. While our page has been quiet, please know that the work to find and bring Emily home has been ongoing.
Over the winter, our team has been working diligently—dealing with legal aspects, accounts & reams of paperwork, organizing information, advocating, and preparing for a renewed push after the thaw.
We are still here. Still searching. Optimistic that she will be found.
To those who hold Emily in your hearts and prayers—thank you. It matters more than you know!
In the next few days, we will begin sharing updates and new calls to action.![]()
Please make sure you’re following this page, and help us by spreading the word when those posts go live.
Prayer has been an essential part of the search for Emily. Prayer warriors around the globe have been so faithful. I’d like to suggest we all join together at specific times. As you are able, at the top of each hour, please devote 5 minutes to join together in prayer for everything and everyone you can think of involved in Emily’s search.
The power of prayer works miracles! ![]()
Every share matters. Every voice counts. Thank you!
Thanks you friends for always being there to lift prayers whenever I ask. We still need them to find this special lady. Let Heaven ring with those prayers!

What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
