At Empowerment Ministries International (EMI), our primary goal is to empower and restore lives and transform communities through holistic ministries, meeting the spiritual and the physical needs of the people. 

 

EMI Directors are men and women drawn from across the social spectrum with diverse fields of

expertise, including business, administration, nursing, teaching, pastoral, economist, and entrepreneurs. These dedicated Directors are invaluable assets in EMI’s

efforts to improve the quality of life of marginalized people.

OUR MISSION

Empowering people and transforming communities is our mission. EMI seeks to liberate those caged in spiritual and material poverty and help them become mature disciples for Christ, socially connected, and economically self-sustaining.

OUR VISION

Promoting the wholeness of humanity is our vision. We envision raising people of power, whole and fruitful with a future and hope, a people empowered and equipped to live productive and fruitful lives, a people not only able to support themselves but better citizens, leaders, and catalysts for the empowerment of their own families, communities, and nations.

OUR OBJECTIVES

CHURCH: To empower the Church through soul-winning discipleship training, empowerment seminars, and arranging missions trips abroad for cross-cultural experience and spiritual enrichment.

COMMUNITIES: To empower communities by drilling boreholes (water wells) to supply cleaner water, women’s empowerment, building supportive relationships and healthful lifestyles, developing leadership and entrepreneurial capacity.

CHILDREN: To empower orphans and disadvantaged children by providing them school supplies, including uniforms and shoes, and creating a caring, holistic environment that allows them to grow spiritually, physically, and mentally and become productive members of their communities and nations.

THE POOR: To empower the poor by helping them improve their quality of life by providing clothes, food, and life skills to promote healthful living, self-reliance, entrepreneurship, and spiritually enriched lives.
