Right from the earliest days of SIM missionary efforts in Nigeria, the pioneers had a firm belief in small beginnings so they started encouraging Nigerianls to form an indigenous mission agency as far back as 1947.

They were to raise, send and support their own missionaries. In 1949, the dream became a reality and African Missionary Society (AMS) was established. Today is known as the Evangelical Missionary Society of ECWA (EMS of ECWA).

EMS Mission and Goals

At the moment, more than 1,200 missionaries are working in Nigeria, Benin Republic, Cameroun, Chad, Ghana, Niger Republic and Togo. Some of the main aims of EMS are:

cross-cultural evangelism

church planting among the unreached

discipling and training members to reproduce other disciples

EMS works in partnership and cooperation with other evangelical groups in receiving and sending out missionaries, as well as in research and training.
