EMA 2013 Missions Project
One of the things I've been longing to do has finally arrived. We've built into this year's EMA a specific overseas mission project. This is a recognition that God has given us so much here in the UK and we need to acknowledge his goodness by being generous to others. Coming together at the EMA is a great opportunity to express that gratitude. This year, we're going to be supporting Johannesburg Bible College. The college works with a great range of poeple in South Africa, equipping them to teach and preach the Bible faithfully. Our support will provide resources for students and pastors – often from the very poorest backgrounds. We're asking people to consider buying an extra book in the Bookstore which we will then post over to our friends in Joburg. Also, Crossway have very kindly let us sell the ESV Global Study Bible (a full study Bible) for £5 if it is intended for missions use. So, visitors to the EMA can buy a copy of this great resource (we have 100) and we will send them to where they will make a great difference. You can also give by text.
There are more details about this in the video below. Please do have a look and, even if you are not coming to this year's EMA (still time!), please do consider supporting this project. We're really pleased that an opportunity to review the EMA and build this into the program has arisen. We hope you will share our passion and concern for the developing world.
