A letter similar to this one was recently given to all EMC Administrative missionaries (Mexico, Bolivia, Paraguay) who, in turn, have sent it to a list of their supporters whom they have invited to be on their Home Team.

We share this letter to inform you on how Home Teams will assist EMC missionaries as they serve with EMC Missions in their country of service.

We have a conference that works together in relative unity within that diversity of culture and language. Continue reading Why I’m Glad to be an EMCer→
