on behalf of the Board
In 2020, we grew more than ever before!
When I think about the past year for Empart, I am reminded of the story in Genesis 26. During a time of famine, Isaac planted crops. He sowed and reaped 100-fold, the exact opposite to what was happening around him!
That is what we experienced in 2020. In the natural, businesses were reducing, restricting and preparing for a downturn. We had to make some difficult decisions too. Yet, at Empart we experienced generosity and increase like never before.
The question we are asking now is, ‘How do we move into the future?’
We know there will be more challenges and it feels like the clock has accelerated. We need to prepare because we don’t know how much time is left. The harvest is ripe — we just need to keep resourcing and releasing more workers.
Our Board is privileged to include ministry, business and non-profit leaders and experts – all united by our commitment to the harvest. Together we are ensuring that we have the right plans, procedures and resources in place to continue to proactively move towards 100,000 communities impacted by 2030.
As a Partner Country, Empart Australia is actively supporting approximately a third of the total number of Field Workers, 11 Training Centres and 6 Community Hubs. This is only possible through the generosity of our partners — thank you.
Please continue to pray as we consider plans for expanding into the wider region of Australasia.
We are so thankful for your ongoing partnership, your sacrificial prayers and your generous giving. The seeds that you have planted will result in a great harvest. Thank you.

“Their team members on the ground become the hands and feet of Jesus on our behalf”
“It is a great opportunity
to partner with Empart - an organisation with integrity and love for those in need. Their team members on the ground become the hands and feet of Jesus on our behalf.
It was an enormous privilege
to have seen some of the work done by Empart and meet their front-line workers. I have been challenged by their love for Jesus and the sacrifices they are willing to make. A financial contribution to partner with them seems a small but logical next step.”
