Spring Break trip to Mexico

Many college and university students in the USA waste their money and their life during spring break. At Emmaus, instead, several students spent their time and money to take the Gospel to Mexico.

Social action and missions

The mission fields need a Gospel message which is timeless because it is eternal and boundless as the horizon of heaven. All of the missionary heroes, Judson, Carey, Livingstone, Martyn, Hudson Taylor, lived for eternity and preached eternity, a Gospel that was other-worldly. They went out to save the lost. Yet their social Gospel included works of mercy to all with whom they came in contact. They had their schools, hospitals and asylums; they were not unmindful of social evils and worked for social reforms. But they considered all these as means to an end. These were only scaffolding of the eternal palace. That consists of living stones, lives redeemed, character built up, souls won for glory.
-Thinking Missions with Christ, Samuel Zwemer
