Speakers
The following EMM staff and workers are available to speak on ministry within their country of administration or on past mission experiences. They can speak at your congregational events – retreats, renewal meetings, mission festivals, or Sunday morning sermons.

Long-term missionaries are periodically available to speak concerning their ministry and country of service, particularly in the summer. Also, young adult alumni of Youth Evangelism Service can speak to youth groups about their short-term experiences; an older group may enjoy hearing from an adult who participated on a GO! team.

You may also contact Leon Miller at 717 898-2251 or leonm@emm.org to schedule a speaker or to learn more.
