IEMA, is the church group that ECM founded in Cordoba 25 years ago. It’s purpose was to provide a structure for the mission posts where ECM was working within the province of Cordoba. On the 25th of October we celebrated the anniversary in a banquet hall in Montilla. As founding members of the church and the first Official Pastor of the church group, they gave me the privilege of speaking and asked Brenda to give a testimony. It was very encouraging to see the next generation of leaders taking over as well as see many new faces taking their part in the church. One sad note for Brenda and I was that we missed seeing many of those for whom we had toiled so hard to win to Christ. Most of them continue to follow Christ but not as part of the IEMA organization.
