Emmaus Resources Now Available at No Cost
After much prayer and discussion, beginning July 1, 2026, Emmaus Worldwide will provide resources through our home office at no charge.
For many years, much of the Emmaus ministry around the world has operated on a freely given basis, with resources being provided through the Lord’s provision and the generosity of His people. As we have sought the Lord’s direction for the future of the ministry, we have become convinced that our home office should embrace that same philosophy.
This transition represents more than a change in distribution. It is a step of faith. Rather than relying on the sale of resources to support the ministry, we are choosing to align our home office distribution model with a “freely given” approach—one rooted in our Lord’s instruction, “Freely you have received; freely give” (Matthew 10:8)—that has characterized much of the Emmaus work around the world.
We believe the Lord is opening the door for greater participation in the ministry and greater impact in the years ahead. We are grateful for your continued partnership as together we trust Him for all that lies ahead.
Thank you for your friendship, your prayers, and your interest in the work of Emmaus Worldwide. We are excited to see what the Lord will do next.
