Inclusive Faith: the LGBTQIA+Missions Journey with EMI

Inclusive Faith: the LGBTQIA+Missions Journey with EMI

EMI Global’s Next Chapter: Angelina and Lorri reconnect to discuss Encounter Missions International (EMI), founded by Janet Robertson 25 years ago to make God’s love known and accessible to the LGBTQ community through an all-inclusive gospel and a “function over form” approach. They reflect on long involvement with EMI, including helping plant the Taipei church in Taiwan and participating in mission trips to Taiwan, Mexico City, and Australia, with new work beginning in Spain. They highlight EMI’s training efforts, its roots connected to Youth With A Mission and Matthew 28:19–20, and the impact of welcoming faith communities for those often excluded by traditional Christianity. With Janet retiring later this year, they share that Yi-Bao Chang will become the new global director and emphasize the need to expand fundraising to sustain EMI’s work.
