Messenger

Messenger has been enriching readers for almost 100 years, but now in a slightly different format. 

  • Messenger comes to you every month! Each issue features one primary story, facts about people groups we’re serving, news, and most importantly, prayer prompts to join with us in prayer.
  • Messenger is available as an email newsletter if you prefer to read it online, but we will continue sending a print version to you if you currently receive a print version of Messenger. If you would like to receive it only via email, let us know by sending an email to messenger@emm.org.
