CHURCH DEVELOPMENT

We support local churches so that they can share the Gospel in word and deed.

The further development of churches and congregations is an essential part of the work of EBM INTERNATIONAL. In doing this, it is our concern that congregations are empowered to implement their ministry in the respective country. They are our most important local partner.

Through their social commitment, counseling and preaching, they become relevant to their environment and give light and hope to many people. Congregations bring their environment into contact with the Good News. We support projects that help them do this - such as theological education, evangelism and church planting.
