The Journey of Emmaus Worldwide

While serving as a missionary in the Belgian Congo, Ed Harlow received a vision from the Lord for a Bible school in North America.

The recently established Emmaus Bible School began providing correspondence biblical education and discipleship. By 1949, seventeen correspondence courses were available.

More than 3 million studies had been distributed, and Emmaus resources had been translated into 80 languages.

Born to Win, was written in 1977. Written for the incarcerated, it aided what has grown into one of Emmaus Worldwide’s most significant ministries.

As the ministry celebrated 50 years, the Iron Curtain fell around the communist world, and Emmaus ministry exploded all over Eastern Europe.

The correspondence division of Emmaus Bible School became a separate organization, called ECS Ministries.

The ministry adopted the name Emmaus Worldwide to reflect its growing international reach and impact.

Emmaus resources are used in more than 100 countries, in over 90 languages, using both physical and digital resources to help people know Christ, grow in Christ, and share Him with others.
