ABOUT EEM
The mission of (EEM) began in 1961 when seven missionary couples bravely answered God’s call to take his Word to people under the rule of the Soviet Union. Smuggling Bibles and underground printing were the only ways to share God’s Word until the wall fell in 1989. Today, EEM publishes, prints, and distributes Bibles and Bible-based materials through a vast network of churches and organizations to individuals, families, public schools, youth camps, prisons, etc., in over 35 nations and 25 languages – free to all.
EEM’s tagline encapsulates its vision: “The Bible, We Want Everyone to Get It!” EEM’s mission is to share God’s Word with the people of Eastern Europe and beyond and educate and inspire God’s servants in this work. In addition to delivering on its promise of providing free Bibles and Bible-based materials in native languages, even to the most unreachable places, EEM publishes and prints these materials locally to help support local economies.
