Welcome Emmaus Team 2016

Mission
Emmaus is associated with the non-profit organization Catalyst Resources International. The purpose of the program is to provide young adults with a servant leadership experience in foreign missions.


This five (5) week program will be an opportunity for discipleship, service, and discovery. We are offering Emmaus as a way to experience Jesus and deepen your walk as a disciple.
