Parish Resources

We will assist you in your congregation

Many local churches have direct partnerships and contacts to congregations in the worldwide EMS Fellowship. They attach importance to personal encounters with Christians from other churches. Their prime concern is to come closer to different cultures and support social projects on a long-term basis. EMS promotes exchange among groups and advises them on their project selection and project support.
For churches interested in a short-term project or selected issue, EMS offers a series of changing actions. They can take part in the intercultural EMS Focus 2009–2012 “Reading the Bible through the eyes of another” or the 2010 project “Learning to live in peace”, that promotes the Schneller Schools.

We would be pleased to supply you with a speaker to report from the EMS Fellowship or on individual projects. You will understand that such engagements should be planned well in advance.
