Despite the interruptions, the changes in our plans, and the disappointments of unfulfilled expectations in 2020, the mission of God goes on. EMM workers continue to cross cultures, engage the world, and make disciples of Jesus. Many have adapted their usual activities, teaching classes through video, connecting with friends and neighbors through care packages, volunteering for Meals on Wheels, and much more. We have also provided much-needed aid to various partner ministries around the world who do not have access to the resources we often take for granted.
In our world of increasing need, we invite you to consider a gift to EMM to support the ministry of extending hope to our world. With the trajectory we were following at the beginning of the year, if COVID-19 had not been part of our collective reality, we expect we would have received $750,000 for our life-sustaining Impact Fund by this Friday. As of today, we are about $99,000 short of that reality. Thanks to each person and congregation who has helped to close this gap in recent weeks. We are grateful for each gift that helps to sustain EMM mission work around the world.
Will you join us as partners in God's mission for the world by giving to support EMM's important work? Please consider how you might share your resources, and continue to pray for EMM workers across the globe so that the light of Christ might shine brightly.
