Dear friends of ELM!

"It is a great task to learn to speak about faith in a language that is understandable to others", said one participant during an ELM seminar organised by the Evangelical Lutheran Mission in Lower Saxony (ELM): Under the title "God spoke clearly ...", Christians from Africa and Germany spoke about how they "bear witness" to their faith. We report on this in our newsletter.

Witnessing, speaking about faith and proclaiming the liberating power of the Gospel - this has been the driving force behind the work of the Hermannsburg Mission for 175 years. During this time, a global congregation has emerged that is constantly entering into dialogue across all cultural boundaries, treading common paths and living international church partnerships. ELM today has become a mouthpiece for its partner churches: It facilitates encounters, informs friends about its work and events and supports its partners in realising projects that benefit local people. But ELM is also a large international spiritual community with diverse expressions of the Christian faith. You can also read about this every month in our newsletters.

We hope that we do this in a language you can understand, so that you understand that we do what we believe in ...

With this in mind, best wishes and blessings

Your
Dr Emmanuel Kileo
Director
