EMM’s central administrative offices in Salunga house a modest library of books, videos, and cassette tapes, as well as a few country resource kits, many flags, and a prayer station. Members of our supporting network may borrow these at no charge. For more information on any of these resources, contact Amanda Perry at 717 898-2251.
Books
We offer a variety of mission-related books, including the following categories:
• devotional and moral theology
• practical ministry
• missions and evangelism
• denominations and sects
• other religions
• church history and geography
• Christ-centered ministry in postmodern culture
We have reference works to help you to discover unreached people groups, understand a bit about the culture of places you have never been able to visit, and educate you in how to pray for these peoples.
We also have children's resources for congregations looking to strengthen Sunday school curricula in missions.
Flags
We have over 60 flags from around the world, representing countries where our missionaries currently serve or have served in the past.
