December 5th is International Volunteer Day! EMI is so thankful for volunteers that join our work all around the world!

Volunteers like Happy Agbaragu, a Nigerian architect who traveled roughly 2,000 miles (3,200 km) by bus over 7 days to join an EMI team in west Africa. He aided in the design of a home for girls targeted for human trafficking.

Please consider partnering with us by giving an end of the year gift to the EMI Fund to empower volunteers like Happy and provide services for ministries that fight human trafficking.

EMI personnel continue to work hard to get clean water to more residents in Grand Bahama. Please pray for our staff’s efforts to alleviate the toll taken by survivors. They are currently working with the SP team and others to drill a new well near the Emergency Field Hospital. This will enable water to be distributed directly to the hospital system and free up delivery trucks to carry water to more locations within Grand Bahama. Please pray that living water would pour forth from our staff’s hearts (John 7:38); bringing hope, peace, and redemption.

This response will continue to be a large effort. If you are a civil engineer, please consider offering your time and deploying with us. Please email disasters@emiworld.org with your interest.

If you can't go, consider giving to the EMI Fund that helps us respond to disasters world wide. You can give here. 

Thanks to the efforts of EMI's Jason and Chance, the Emergency Field Hospital is up and running now and seeing about 140 patients per day. Jason is currently working on having water treated for both the hospital and for the local community. He also set up a second treatment system in another region of Grand Bahama for a medical clinic and community. Coordination with Port Authority to bring in a large reverse osmosis unit is currently underway. This will allow water to be filtered and trucked to more rural areas of Grand Bahama.
