SHARING GOD’S
TRANSFORMING LOVE,
THAT PEOPLE LIVE
IN HOPE.

In Cuba, the pastors and congregations supported by EBM INTERNATIONAL consistently think of their fellow human beings with whom they have to deal. They do not first look at their possibilities, such as finances or other resources - they have wide hearts and open doors. A small group of people could experience this on their mission trip in January.

In January Magloire Kadjio, Regional Representative for Central Africa and Sierra Leone, together with the General Secretary Christoph Haus and Fletcher Kaiya, Regional Representative for Southern Africa, visited India for the first time. He tells about three project areas, which have impressed him most.

Under the leadership of our EBM missionary Karin Schwarz the 20-hectare Balaka Farm of the Baptist Convention of Malawi (BACOMA) has become a teaching and training farm for the poor rural population, a school of faith and life for young Malawians, and a knowledge centre for organic farming and medicinal plants.

The new church year begins and congregations remember the world mission. AIDS is pushed into the background like many other things by the current challenges. EBM INTERNATIONAL is committed in a variety of ways to offer protection and care to children and promote young women in their independence.

In the social centre Macia children with special needs are seen and supported. They are to be strengthened for life in their families. Sara Marcos, a missionary at the social center, gives an insight into her work.

“Not only 13 months had passed: Above all a time of intensive experiences, encounters, and personal growth lay behind us”. The six volunteers, who met for the evaluation course after their assignment in Elstal, shared this experience. A voluntary service is the chance to realign oneself and to experience formative moments.
