The
EMS currently has over 400 full and associate members throughout
the U.S. and Canada. They meet annually in Spring
in a number of regional meetings. The national meeting
is held each Fall in conjunction with either the Evangelical
Theological Society or the Triennial Meeting of the Evangelical
Fellowship of Mission Agencies and the Interdenominational
Foreign Missions Association. EMS has also met jointly
with the International Society for Frontier Missions, with
which it has a close working relationship. Everyone
benefits from the synergism these shared venues provide.
The
EMS publishes the
Occasional Bulletin three times a year. A subscription
to the Bulletin and a copy of each year's EMS Series book
is included as a benefit to all members whose dues are up
to date. Each volume in the series is devoted to the
analysis of a current theme of importance to Christian mission/missiology.
The books have great value as a classroom resource and a means
of keeping members of the missions community on the cutting
edge of missions strategy and thinking.
