Emmanuel International

Impacted for Life   March 20, 2025

I John 4:9. "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him."

Ben Tasevski served in Malawi from 2002 - 2003.  He worked in field offices as a Water and Sanitation Officer.  Ben writes: It has been over twenty years since I have worked in Malawi.  Over that time, much has changed in this world, yet the hope Emmanuel International delivers has not.

To describe my time in Malawi, I must travel
back in time.  Back to 2003.  To when text messages on mobile phones were typed using a number pad and were not ‘a thing’ in Canada.  To when the internet was dialup and slow.  To when Facebook and Google Maps were just starting to gain traction in our daily lives.

This was also when Africa was in the clutches of the AIDS pandemic.  Malawi was faced with back-to-back years of food insecurity.  My experience in Malawi changed me. I have never worked with such a passionate, talented, and dedicated staff. I left a different person with a much larger “family” and a better understanding of the world and my place as a global citizen.”

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.”
