EMU International, Inc. was originally founded as Evangelical Mission to Uruguay. In the late 1980’s, the mission expanded its field of ministry to include countries other than Uruguay. The acronym EMU now also stands for Evangelical Mission to the Unreached. 

The Purpose of EMU is to bring glory to God by assisting churches and individuals in carrying out the Great Commission given to the Church Universal by our Lord Jesus Christ through ministries of evangelism, establishing indigenous churches, and training nationals to do the same.
