Psalm 84:11 "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless."
“The job of a leader is to create a vision.” Robert L. Swiggett. This was a quote shared by EI Director Mark Middleton in 1994 following the in-depth evaluation process done in collaboration with CIDA, the Canadian gov’t ‘s development arm at the time.
Throughout EI’s history, there have always been dreamers and visionaries. Putting vision and reality together becomes the task of the leadership, a challenge which EI has not shied away from. Following the evaluation and the recommendations received in 1994, two things emerged: EI has a vision and that vision is worth clarifying and communicating. This vision is founded on Jesus’s mandate, to go and make disciples of all people, to share His Love and Truth through word and action. It is to this end that we partner with churches around the world, so that those in need of spiritual and physical assistance may have the opportunity for abundant life lived in love and truth. Through these 50 years, the leadership from around the world have gathered to discuss and ensure that we are walking in the path that God has set out for us.
