Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2025

Dear friends of the ELM,
Dear people who journey with us in this One World,

At this special time of year, we would like to pause and look back together on what we have achieved. This year we celebrated 175 years of the global church and mission work from Hermannsburg. This once again brought us many great encounters and allowed us to grow together. Almost 100 years ago, the French artist Francis Picabia said: ‘The head is round so that thinking can change direction.’ Diversity and openness enrich our learning and working together. We are grateful and thank you!
Let us continue to grow in the new year, inspired by the promise: ‘The child grew up healthy, filled with divine wisdom, and God's blessing rested visibly on him.’ (Luke 2:40).

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, filled with peace and joy! - Krismasi Njema na Heri ya Mwaka Mpya, uliojaa amani na furaha! (Swahili)
Best regards
Dr Emmanuel Kileo
Director
