Dear LMC: A Fellowship of Anabaptist Churches, Over the last several months, we've been working with EMM workers in three different countries to help tell their stories through video.  We've brought these stories together in a video series called "Stories of crossing cultures, engaging the world, and making disciples of Jesus." This is the core of who we are at EMM, and we want your church to be some of the first people to see these videos. Go to EMM.ORG/STORYVIDEOS to access these stories from the Czech Republic, Germany, and Southeast Asia. We encourage you to use them in your Sunday web-streamed services, digital bulletins, or however you want to share these encouraging videos with your church. Then, starting on Monday, May 18, followed by May 25 and June 1, we'll be premiering each of these videos on Facebook at 8 p.m. ET. If you don't already follow us on Facebook, we encourage you to do so and share these premieres with your friends. In Christ's peace, Andrew Mashas Church Relations and Development Coordinator | |  | | Video feature EMM missionaries that come from LMC churches. | |
