Our History
The ELM was founded in 2017 by Pastor Kbrab Issak with a vision to share the Gospel with Eritreans in their native language. Through guidance, teaching videos, and in-person instruction, Pastor Kbrab has helped Eritrean-speaking Christians find comfort and hope. The ELM’s teaching videos, shared across various online platforms, have enabled Eritrean speakers to hear the Gospel, receive spiritual encouragement, grow in their faith, and connect with fellow Christians worldwide.
Our Purpose
ELM is also committed to engaging the minds and hearts of believers and unreached people wherever they are. We hope to bring more light to the world for the glory of God and the edification of the Church.
... let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
