Experience Mission (EM) is a non-profit organization that believes our job as Christians is to be people of hope in the midst of hopelessness. We seek to live out this message of hope by partnering with and empowering local communities around the world, developing leaders, and mobilizing volunteers to experience the powerful change taking place through these partnerships. These are our 3 FOCUSES. They fit intricately together to form the foundation of EM's larger overall mission: spreading the love of Christ to a world in need.VOLUNTEER MOBILIZATIONConnecting people together from diverse cultures and backgrounds through acts of service.
