European Missionary Fellowship (EMF)
From 1935 to 1940, a young Scot, James Stewart, laboured for the gospel in several countries in Eastern Europe. His efforts were attended by exceptional blessing; Christians were revived and large numbers of unbelievers were converted to Christ. This led to the formation of the European Evangelistic Crusade, EEC, which within a few years had become an international mission whose aim was to evangelise Europe.
In the early days, EMF existed as the British branch of the EEC, but in 1959 EMF was established as a mission in its own right. The name was adopted to express the idea of a fellowship of God’s servants working together for the spread of the gospel in Europe. Today, EMF continues to serve the churches of Europe as an interdenominational mission.
The over-riding aim of EMF is to establish Biblical Christianity throughout Europe. This embraces the work of evangelism, church planting and supporting gospel churches, at the same time encouraging them to become self-governing and self-supporting. EMF works closely with churches both at home and abroad in a constant desire to further the spread of the gospel. Today EMF has 87 missionaries in 16 European countries. Moriah identifies with these aims and commits itself to praying constantly that God will bless EMF’s efforts to attain them.

London City Mission (LCM)
The London City Mission exists to share with the people of London, patiently, sensitively and individually, the transforming love of God in Jesus Christ, and to enable them to join his Church. The challenge that now faces it is to maintain and develop our commitment to Christian faith, with all the vision and innovativeness that marked its early progress, so that London’s urban masses of today and tomorrow will continue to be confronted with the invitations of Jesus Christ and drawn into his Church.
Serving Christ in the City since 1835.
