A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR
We concluded our first ever International Advisory Committee Meeting for Chrysalis and Emmaus. We had members from England, South Africa, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Mexico, in addition to members from all over the United States. What a joy it was to have all of us together. And that is what these two movements are all about, working together in the name of Jesus Christ. Read More

Emmaus and strong churches are a dynamic partnership that helps to deepen the spiritual growth of the members of the congregation; this is what has been experienced at Macedonia United Methodist in Southmont, North Carolina. Rev. J. Burton Williams | Georgia |
