EMU International, Inc. was originally founded as Evangelical Mission to Uruguay in 1946. In 1987 the mission began its ministry expansion into other countries in addition to Uruguay, and in 1993 the mission name was changed to EMU International to accommodate these changes. Although the original name is still used with reference to the continuing work in Uruguay, the acronym EMU stands for Evangelical Mission to the Unreached for our other fields of ministry. The Purpose of EMU International (EMU) is to bring glory to God by assisting churches and individuals in carrying out the Great Commission given to the Church Universal by our Lord Jesus Christ through ministries of evangelism, establishing indigenous churches, and training nationals to do the same. Currently, we have 38 US missionaries, 59 national missionaries, serving in 10 different countries and in the 10-40 Window.
