Emmanuel Ministries International
Emmanuel Ministries International (EMI) is an independent, interdenominational mission agency with offices located in St Cloud, Minnesota.
Dr. Alex Maianu began this ministry as an “underground” work in Communist Romania in 1967. Dr. Maianu later came to America and established EMI in 1983 as an outreach to the Soviet bloc countries in Europe.
Following the changes in the Soviet Union in 1991, EMI has also partnered with like-ministries and expanded to provide theological training to church leaders and provide field ministry assistance to national Christians in strategic locations. In addition to Eastern Europe, EMI staff has been active in establishing, equipping, and encouraging churches in the Czech Republic, Africa, India, North, Central and South America.
