About engineering Ministries international

We are a Christian ministry that designs facilities that serve the poor in developing countries. These facilities (including buildings, roads, clean water projects and more) directly impact communities by meeting physical needs and communicating God�s love in a practical way. We partner with missionaries, pastors, and other non-profits who have a vision to help the poor and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We deliver our services free of charge to the recipient organizations we work with. We have five offices and 40 staff, mobilizing over 200 volunteers each year on 50+ projects.

To produce our designs, we blend our team of in-house project managers with talented volunteer engineers, architects, land surveyors and construction managers recruited from around the world. These volunteers donate their time and travel costs to join our teams, adding their expertise and insight to give our clients the best designs possible.
