EMM’s work in East Africa began in 1934 and has led to the development of national churches with over 400,000 attendees. In this context, we focus on encouraging and collaborating with expanding Anabaptist groups in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda to foster mission to places where the church is weak or non-existent. We are involved in church planting, Islamic ministries, education, community development, and walking with the poor and persecuted.
In 2005, EMM began work in West Africa, where numerous fellowship groups of believers are emerging in The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. In this pioneering context, EMM workers are involved in evangelism, discipling, church planting, leadership development, and community development that has economic, educational, and medical aspects.
