EMI is a Christian non-profit made up of architects, engineers, surveyors, and construction managers who value Design, Discipleship, and Diversity.

“People restored by God and the world restored through design.”

Since 1982, our worldwide mission is to develop people, design structures, and construct facilities which serve communities and the Church—facilities like hospitals, schools, water systems, and more.

Together, we are designing a world of hope.

CEO & President of EMI

Forty years ago a structural engineer used his technical gifting on a missions trip to the Pacific, bringing engineering and mission together in a new way.

From humble beginnings, EMI has grown into 11 countries with over 200 staff and interns. God’s hand of direction and provision has sustained us and we are extremely grateful.

He has enabled us to expand and adapt to a swiftly changing world, yet the basic EMI concept—using technical skills to advance the Gospel—has remained foundational.

We are influencing the shape of missions around the world, and our 40-year journey of faith continues today.

West Africa Projects

Please pray with us for wisdom as we respond to many project requests from West Africa. Many of these countries have experienced recent military coups or unrest, and all but essential travel is advised.

Back to Haiti

Travel to Haiti has been difficult the last few years with disasters, uncertainties, and instability. In March, EMI USA was finally able to meet in-person with local partners and continue the disaster mitigation work.
