About Lourie Emmaus

Our vision and mission is to renew Christian Disciples and strengthen local churches

Lourie Emmaus community is situated in the heart of the Mpumalanga Lowveld and forms part of Emmaus Ministries South Africa which is part of the wider Emmaus Ministries worldwide.

  • Our Mission
  • Theologically

Our mission is to “renew Christian disciples” and, in so doing, to “strengthen local churches” for their work. As we carry out this mission, we place the emphasis on that which unites us – we emphasize God’s grace.

Theologically, the Emmaus Ministries offerings are rooted in the Wesleyan understanding of God’s grace according to which the grace of God is the undeserved, unmerited, and loving action of God in human existence through the ever-present Holy Spirit.

Persons whose spiritual lives are renewed and strengthened through Emmaus Ministries are called and empowered to be the hands and feet of Christ, to share within their communities the grace they received.
