Emmaus Road - Global Ministry Partners

Since Westmont's inception, the training and mobilization of students for the purpose of incarnational ministry overseas has been integral. Today, Emmaus Road carries on that rich heritage by providing opportunities for students to grow and develop into globally-minded men and women -- intellectually and experientially equipped for Christ-like servant-leadership in a physically and spiritually impoverished world. This student organization accomplishes this by hosting on-campus events with an international focus as well as training and sending teams for overseas summer service projects.
