Join us for our interactive online seminar - the blessings and challenges of church planting.

The early church grew meteorically through church planting. Europe is again in a situation where there are very few evangelical churches, so is church planting as important now as it was in the first years of Christianity? For EMF, church planting has always been at the heart of its mission focus.

Philip Moore of Acts 29 is our main speaker and will be addressing this important subject.

Plans to establish a new church in the city of Włocławek, central poland, are progressing well. EMF missionary Krzysztof Rutkowski who is leading this venture reports that strong foundations are being established with a group of over twenty people now attending meetings.

EMF missionaries Stefano and Jenny Mariotti translated Stuart Olyott's book, 'Preaching: Pure and Simple' a number of years ago. Stefano finds it very useful for discipling and training of young men in his church in Budrio, Italy. Funds have now been found to publish the book in Italian with the Coram Deo publishing house and it is hoped to become available sometime during 2021.

As of the 1st September 2020 Andrew Birch has become the new Mission Director of EMF.  Andrew is known to many within the EMF family and we are sure this news will be very welcome.  He brings much experience to the role along with his wife Vivienne. Please remember in your prayers Andrew, Vivienne, their family and the church he leaves behind in Palma, Mallorca. Please also pray for Steven Bowers who will continue in his role until early November helping Andrew to bed-in.

The situation in Italy with regards to the coronavirus has ameliorated a little, but in the south of Italy it has caused huge economic damage. The churches pastored by EMF missionary Antonio De Noia in Peschici and Vico are currently assisting in the distribution of food parcels to needy families. Please pray for their witness and that the people may invoke the name of the Lord for the salvation of their souls.

With the normal ways of doing things no longer possible, this is an opportunity to be creative in how we engage with one another. We are in the process of launching 'Face to Face' 1 to 1 chat and group meetings via online video conferencing. For more information go to the 'Get Involved - Face to Face' page on the EMF website, or click on link provided.
