EMM has shared the good news of Jesus around the world.

For more than 100 years, EMM has shared the good news of Jesus around the world. Thousands of global workers have gone to dozens of people groups. Decades later, the seeds that EMM workers have sown are multiplying into hundreds of thousands of people following Jesus in places like Tanzania, Ethiopia, Honduras, and many other places around the world. As we look to our future work, we're asking the question, "What does God have next for us?" Our mandate as a mission agency is to take the gospel across cultures, especially into areas that are least reached. We want to see all believers — everyone — moving in mission. God has used EMM before to spark Jesus movements in specific parts of the globe. We're convinced that God wants to continue using us, and you can play a part in bringing transformation around the world. If you would like to continue with us on this journey, we want to invite you to consider how you might continue partnering with us through prayer and financial support. In the final hours of 2021, we encourage you to make a year-end gift to EMM's Impact Fund.

You don't want to miss this.

Friendship Heart Studio is opening up a second Studio location at 1159 E. Oregon Road, Lititz, PA 17543, adjacent to Friendship Community's main office, and has opening for new Heart Artists. It's no secret that COVID-19 has caused many challenges for our Artists within our day program. To limit the amount of physical contact, our studio has resorted to virtual lessons, limited the amount of heart artists per day, and arranged the desks for proper social distancing. While the Studio is striving towards the goal of getting back to full-capacity, there are currently over 40 Heart Artists attending one day per week each. This new Studio space, which used to house Meaningful Day Academy, will allow more current Artists to safely come back to the Studio, as well as welcome brand new Heart Artists into the Friendship Heart Studio Day Program. The second Studio space is set to open in March 2022 and will allow the Artists count to reach 18 per day at full capacity and will offer program 5 days per week – similar to the downtown Lancaster Studio. Upon first opening, the Studio will house around 6 Individuals per day and will work towards full capacity. "The new studio space will allow us to invite dozens of new Artists who wish to develop their artistic skills, foster their creativity, and express themselves more fully. Our team is excited about this new challenge and opportunity to expand the program!" says Studio Manager, Sarah Rush. The layout of the new Studio includes a spacious and private medication room, a Studio supply room and a new space for matting and framing. The matting and framing room will allow for more pieces to be safely handled and for proper storage afterwards. With this new Studio opening, Instructor needs will also increase – possibly at either Lancaster or Lititz locations. Anyone interested in working in the Studio should keep an eye on our website and social medias for these openings to be posted. Help us fill the new Studio! Interested Individuals, or supports on behalf of Individuals, should fill out the digital Studio inquiry form below. Please note that filling out the online inquiry form does not guarantee a spot in the Studio program.

The Old Testament is full of indications — prophecies — of Jesus the Messiah.

"When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever." (2 Samuel 7:12–13) The Old Testament is full of indications — prophecies — of Jesus the Messiah. The hearers of those words at that time may not have known exactly who the Messiah would be, but they did wait with great anticipation of who he might be. Today, we have the hope of knowing that we no longer need to wait … the Messiah has come! Jesus is building His kingdom in our midst and inviting us to be part of this mission. This Christmas, as you reflect on the birth of Jesus, may you, your family, and friends be inspired to ask the question, "How is God calling me to help advance His kingdom?"  Merry Christmas!
