The spirit of lies and identity crisis has crept into the world, and it sometimes begins in schools. This lie from the enemy has come into children's schools at a very tender age to distract and to pull them away from the truth that comes from Christ. We now live in society where the world is telling children who to be and what to be. It is our mission to have wholistic discipleship programs happening in schools, especially in remote villages abroad.

Emissaries Mission believes that a human’s true worth, identity and peace come from knowing Christ and having salvation through Him. This is why we work to bring wholistic empowerment and development (wholistic discipleship) to students and their communities. We know and understand how low self-esteem, defeat, fear, identity crisis, depression, lack of motivation, and trauma can affect a child’s education negatively, so we partner with other agents of change to provide wholistic support to students.

Christian discipleship requires collaborative efforts of parents, school districts, teachers, churches, nonprofits and other mission agencies to help nurture these young people in the way of the Lord.  Our mission is to have wholistic development programs (discipleship programs) happening in schools, especially in remote villages. This is done by sharing Christ with students, teaching them to learn to use coping skills to deal with life struggles, personal hygiene, how to reach out to others in need, teaching moral lessons that are centered around respect, good attitude, love for others, the need to take care of their environment, the value of listening and supporting their teachers and their parents at home. Overall, to support students’ academic needs wholistically and to empower parents to be more involved in their children’s academics.

While children everywhere need a proper education, schooling looks different in other parts of the world. In most villages in Africa, education is not free for K-12 like it is in the United States of America. Poor children often miss out because they cannot afford uniforms, supplies, transportation, tuition fees, and lunch. Some parents are not educated themselves and therefore do not know the value and the need for their children to be educated. This brings us to the wholistic aspect of our ministry where the spiritual aspect of students is not just what we focus on during our school discipleship. We also support students’ academic needs and empower their parents to be more involved in their children’s academics. It is our mission that children should not miss out on their academics because they cannot afford uniforms, supplies, transportation, tuition fees, or lunch. Most of these parents are not educated themselves and therefore do not know the value and the need for their children to be educated. Emissaries Mission collaborates with other local agencies, churches, and nonprofits to empower families in these remote villages to know and understand the importance of education for both male and female children. Parents are empowered by Emissaries Mission to support themselves and their children so their children can thrive academically.

With our years of experience working in the mental health field, working with children who are trafficked, and helping with student transportation, we are able to empower students with life skills. We are also able to assess the areas where wholistic empowerment and development is most needed for students.
