About Me

My name is Emma True, and I am a Resident for the Chicago Eagles! 

I grew up in the mountains of Northeast Tennessee in a family that raised me to know both the goodness and love of the Lord and the gift of athletics. I was blessed to play soccer for as long as I can remember! I attended Milligan University, where I played soccer and studied mathematics. 

My relationships with both sports and God have consistently been huge parts of my life, and seeing soccer as a tool to bring the Kingdom into the present and share the love of the Lord has greatly impacted my life and that of those around me.

After being introduced to MAI by college teammates, I was blessed to spend the summers of 2022, 2023, and 2024 as a member of the Summer Academy in Chicago. I have seen the Lord work so much good in and through my life through these seasons, and have been witness to the abundant grace, mercy, and love of God in my life. The gift of sports ministry has given me a universal platform that transcends language, background, and culture to provide access to serve and share this love throughout diverse communities. I have seen the game of soccer used as a tool to further the Kingdom of God and bring the world to a greater measure of healing and wholeness. I feel the Lord has called me to continue sharing this great news as a part of this wonderful community!
