Dear friends of ELM!

At the end of the year, we Christians look at the child in the manger. For us, it symbolises joy and a new beginning in a place where we least expected it. We enter the new year with this hope that many things can be different.

At the same time, in these hopefully joyful and - after the festivities - quiet days, we look back on an eventful anniversary year for the ELM. By clicking on the article ‘175 years of the global church’, you will find a colourful collection of articles from our partner churches, from former missionaries, about our global projects and much more.

Another highlight of the anniversary year was the production of three films about some of our refugee-related projects in Ethiopia, Malawi and South Africa. With these media, we want to put the spotlight on people who are struggling to survive - usually away from the spotlight. This brings us full circle to the child in the manger.

Heri ya Krismasi na Mwaka Mpya - 2025!

Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year 2025!

Yours
Dr Emmanuel Kileo
