it is with deep sadness that we learned of the passing of our former director Ernst-August Lüdemann on the 28th of December 2024.
During his time at ELM, he worked with great hope, love and dedication and left a lasting mark on the global fellowship of churches - especially on those of us who still worked with him.
We will always remember his passion for mission and his deep conviction to win over people for a life in Christ. In Romans 14:8 we read: "If we live, we live to the Lord; if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's."
This promise gives us comfort and hope that Ernst-August Lüdemann is now in eternal fellowship with our Lord.
We thank God for Ernst-August Lüdemann's life and for the way he shaped the work of ELM. During this time he would have engaged with many of you and as such we are reaching out to you today. If you would like to offer a condolence message during this time, we would welcome your greetings. All messages received before January 10th can be mentioned at the funeral services. Please use direktorat@elm-mission.net for your message.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, who are bearing this particularly hard loss. May the peace of God surround and strengthen them.
Yours in Christ,
Dr. Emmanuel Kileo
