Eastern Mennonite Missions

December EMM banquet | Lititz
2023-12-06 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Westview Community Room, Landis Homes, 1001 E Oregon Rd, Lititz, PA, 17543, United States
Eastern Mennonite Missions has sent thousands of missionaries around the world. We’ve done ministry in more than 100 countries. Through God’s faithfulness, we’ve helped to multiply more than 20 mission movements, many of which have been among least-reached people. Now, we’re asking, “Will God do it again?” We believe that God is doing it again, and he’s calling us to share the good news with some of the 3 billion least-reached people around the world. The question is whether or not we’re ready to join him in this work ahead. Join us as we share stories about how God is at work, using EMM to do it again.
You are invited to join us for an EMM vision and fundraising banquet. As a result of positive feedback from last year, the EMM banquet is being offered three different times again this year! Like every banquet, you’ll have an opportunity to hear some incredible stories of God’s work around the world. You’ll also have an opportunity to partner with us. Your generosity will help us continue to carry out our mission of crossing cultures, engaging the world, and multiplying disciples of Jesus. We hope you can join us at one of these three banquets.
If you have any questions, please contact Krista Martin or call 717-898-2251.

Business leaders' breakfast: hiring with purpose
2023-09-19 07:00 - 08:45 | Hub 450, 450 N Prince St, Lancaster, PA, 17603, United States
You’re invited to this free breakfast to learn about how your business can hire the right people.
Truett Cathy, the founder of Chic-fil-A, has said: If you hire the “right people again and again, you will strengthen your culture over time.” We agree, hiring with purpose makes all the difference. Being able to identify whether a potential employee is values-aligned to fit your organizational culture and has the essential characteristics needed to be successful in the role is critical to successful hiring. We will explore the principles and steps of purposeful hiring, learning from a panel of business leaders who are leading the charge in their approach to talent selection. Join us for insights from Gina Breslin and Josh Keefer of North Group Consultants as they explore this topic, followed by a panel discussion.

Gina Breslin grew up in a family business of successful diversified holdings and had varied responsibilities through which she learned the team insights, intuitive decision-making and entrepreneurial spirit that propel businesses forward. She has been employed with North Group Consultants since 2010 and serves primarily in the firm’s Hiring & Talent Selection services. Gina holds a bachelor’s degree in education from Eastern Mennonite University. In 2021, Gina was recognized as a Woman of Influence by the Central Penn Business Journal. She serves on the Board of Jubilee Ministries and the Strategic Planning Team at Neffsville Mennonite Church.
Josh Keefer has a passion for caring for people and a diverse skillset that stems from a background in nonprofit leadership, business, ministry, and real estate. He holds a B.S. in Business Administration from Elizabethtown College and, most recently, served as VP of Global Development at an international nonprofit. Josh joined North Group in 2017 and values walking alongside leaders as they realize the effectiveness of an empowered team to achieve a common goal. An active member of the local community, Josh has served on numerous boards and was recognized by the Central Penn Business Journal as a “40 Under 40” leader.

There is limited parking at Hub 450.

Business Leaders' Breakfast
2022-09-14 07:00 - 09:00 | Hub 450, 450 N Prince St, Lancaster, PA, 17603, United States
You’re invited to this free breakfast to explore how small and mid-size businesses can recruit and keep employees.

We all know it. The statistics are against us. The need is growing and the workers are decreasing. What are the options for small and mid-size business owners in meeting their workforce needs? Join us for a short address from Roger North followed by a panel discussion on this vitally important business leadership topic.
Roger is founder and CEO of North Group Consultants. In this role, he is primarily responsible for North Group’s cultural commitments, community connections and business development. In addition to those leadership responsibilities, he continues to consult on issues related to organizational health and performance, organizational transition and executive growth/development.

Night@450
2022-08-01 - 2023-07-31
Bring your youth group or adults to Hub 450 in Lancaster City. Take a tour of EMM’s new facility and hear about what God is doing in the world, what EMM is involved in, and how you can be connected.
A recent study summarized what many people have been thinking for a long time – if you want young people to grow, take them on a mission trip. Much is gained from experiencing the world, and our hearts are opened as we listen to those who have gone before us.
Make a reservation today for your youth group to spend a night at 450 North Prince Street:

Tour the facilities and see how EMM is reaching out to the community around us
Hear stories from EMM’s past and present
Learn about opportunities to be involved in missions both locally and globally
Have an enjoyable night out of your normal routine

You can add on international snacks, a guided prayer walk, a cross-cultural experience with a resettled refugee, or a time of intercession for a particular nation.
Contact us to arrange a date and time that suits you. If you are interested in a fuller experience, talk to us about creating a whole day Saturday or Sunday event. Contact Dave Houser for more information or to schedule.

Discipleship in a World Full of Nazis
2022-07-11 10:00 - 12:00 | Hub 450, 450 N Prince St, Lancaster, PA, 17603, United States
Discipleship: more than the title of his 1937 book, this word announced the spiritual and theological foundation for Christian faithfulness and resistance Bonhoeffer believed was needed in Nazi Germany. The centrality of Jesus led him to speak out on behalf of Jews, argue against war, form a “new monastic” community, and resist killing as a soldier — even as he associated with conspirators and sought to broker a peace agreement with the Allied forces during World War II.
Join us for an engaging resourcing event as Dr. Mark Thiessen Nation shares about his most recent book, Discipleship in a world full of Nazis: Recovering the true legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Mark is married to Mary and has two adult married children and four grandchildren. Raised in a decidedly non-Christian family, he became a Christian at age 17 and a licensed minister at age 18. Since then, he has been an evangelist, a youth minister, a child protective services social worker, a peace and justice educator, a pastor, the director of The London Mennonite Centre, an author, and a professor of theology at Eastern Mennonite Seminary (from which position he retired in 2018).
