Emmanuel International

How are we doing??  January 16, 2025

Psalm 33:11  “But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,  the purposes of his heart through all generations.”

In 1993, an extensive evaluation of Emmanuel International took place.  The official name was “Institutional Assessment.”  EI and the Canadian gov’t which had invested considerable funding for EI’s activities around the world hired a consulting firm for a 6-month scrutiny.  Commented by then Director, Mark Middleton:  “The point that amazes some of you is that we
at E.I. actually initiated the whole thing!” 

What were some of the questions EI was asking itself?  Do we have a unified ultimate objective?  Do we have interim objective to help us reach the ultimate objective?  Do we have the resources to achieve the interim and ultimate objectives?  Do we have the necessary commitment from each one who serves with EI to reach these objectives?  Do we believe that these objectives are from God and will make our ministry more relevant and effective?

Today, in our Jubilee year, we continue to ask such questions, always relying on our Sovereign God to keep us walking in His path, in His purpose and for His glory
alone.

Where it all started

September 12, 2024

The Letters of Patent declaring Emmanuel Relief and Rehabilitation International to be a recognized charitable organization is dated September 11, 1975.  September 12, 2024 begins our 50th year, our Jubilee year!  In the Bible, every 50th year was a reset year, a year of rest. The Jubilee was a year of acknowledging Sovereign God, His grace, His provision, His heart for His people.  

With Samuel of old, on the 12th of September 2024, join us in raising our Ebenezer; for truly, ‘hitherto has the LORD helped us.” 

 I Samuel 7:12:  “Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far has the LORD helped us.”
