Emmanuel International

Hearts for Serving.  December 5, 2024

Hebrews 13:8 ESV “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Creve, Haiti welcomed an expatriate team from Canada in February, 1987.  At that time, EI’s partnership was with the Mission Eglise Baptiste Independente.  This team was implementing a CIDA-funded program which included seed distribution, vegetable gardens and sports programs.  During this time, they also put a roof on an orphanage and built a water catchment.  Bible studies in 5 areas were ongoing.  A report in EI’s 1987 Annual Report says: “There has been a shift in emphasis.  Our team is so much more spiritually and people-oriented than we were before.  We used to be into mass production.  Now we spend a lot more time with families.”

 And that is the heart of EI:  the people we
serve!  For the glory of God!

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.”
