Dear Ministry Representative:

Thank you for your interest in Engineering Ministries International (eMi) and our design services. Please review these first two pages to become familiar with the ministry of eMi and the roles and responsibilities that define the relationship between eMi and the ministries we serve.

eMiis a non-profit organization that providesdonated design services for evangelical Christian ministries in developing countries that are helping the poor and advancing the gospel of Christ. eMi is a network of engineers, architects, surveyors, and other design professionals who donate their services. Since 1982, we have served in over 90 different countries designing over 1,000 development projects. eMi provides more than $80,000 worth of donated design services on a typical project and ministries only contribute a small portion of the cost of these services.

To receive our design services, we require you, the host ministry to:

  • Provide the in-country expenses for our design team (usually 8-12 people) during their visit to your project site for 1 to 2 weeks: basic meals, simple lodging, local transportation, and security as well as translation (if necessary).
  • Make a reimbursement equal tothe cost of one staff project leader’s round-trip economy airfare from our office in Calgary to the project location.
  • Partner with eMi by donatingtoward a portion of this project’s design cost based on the project scope, size, and duration.

eMi provides professional design services for projects that are typically the largest capital investment that a ministry ever makes. We want to help you be successful stewards of this important investment.

Please take time to prayerfully answer all questions in this Pre-Application.eMi will review your project needs, create opportunities for us to answer one another’s questions and review the availability of our project leaders. Whena common understanding of terms is established, a full Project Application Package will be forwarded to you.

eMi mobilizes short-term teams during specific periods of time beginning February 1st, June 1st, and September 1st. Please send us your Pre-Application with an understanding that we typically require6 months to approve the project and recruit a design team. After the team visits your ministry on-site, it typically takes 4 to 6 months to complete the design. The schedule can be accelerated in some cases.

Please let me know if you have any questions. You can contact meat or by phone at +1.403.202.3642.

Blessings,

Greg Young

Executive Director

Our Mission and Vision:

  • eMi mobilizes Christian volunteer design professionals, such as architects, engineers, surveyors and construction managers. eMi serves Christian ministries that are helping the poor and advancing the gospel of Christ. We implement planning and designs forfacilities (schools, hospitals, churches) and infrastructure (water, sanitation, power) throughout the world. Applying practical design and cultural engagement, eMi staff members coordinate project work to develop culturally sensitive designs that help fulfill a ministry’s vision.
  • eMi is a faith-based organization relying on the gifts of engineers and lay people; staff members are supported by individuals and churches who desire to benefit the work of ministries around the world. By operating in this way, eMi is able to provide design services for a very reasonable cost to recipient ministriesbut we do not fund the cost of construction or operations.
  • eMiis able to provide acombination ofarchitecture drawings, engineering reports, and cost estimates. The design package may also include a feasibility study, fundraisingbrochure, conceptual design and, when and where appropriate, construction drawings. Look up “eMi Canada Project Portfolio” at our website at for a list of projects for which eMi Canada has provided professional design services.

Our Goal:

eMi’s goal is to meet your specific project design requirements bydesigning facilities appropriate to the needs of the people you are ministering to. We strive to use local building materials and methods where possible.

We provide assistance for projects that meet the following criteria:

  • The project ministers to the needs of the poor.
  • There is an ongoing proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ in word or deed.
  • The ministry owns the property on which the project is to be built. (If a ministry partner owns the land thenwe require documentation from the ministry partner recognizing and allowing this project.)
  • There is a planned method of funding project construction and operation.

Our Belief:

  • In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
  • In one God manifested in three persons.
  • That mankind is created in the image of God, fallen through Adam’s sin, redeemed only through the saving work of Jesus Christ.
  • In the pre-existence of Christ, His virgin birth, His vicarious death on the cross, His resurrection and His second coming.
  • In the person of the Holy Spirit, His convicting, regenerating, baptizing, sealing, indwelling, teaching and filling ministries.
