About EEM

Every day, millions of people around the world are searching for hope, truth, and purpose by searching for God. What they need is His Word in a language they can understand.

Since 1961, EEM has been delivering God's Word to people across Eastern Europe and beyond, ensuring that those who are seeking can encounter the life-changing message of Jesus in the language of their heart. Today, we publish and deliver Bibles and Bible-based materials in more than 30 languages across 35+ countries, partnering with local churches and ministries to place Scripture directly into the hands of those who are searching.

At EEM, our Bibles aren't Bibles looking for people. We are serving and answering the prayers of people looking for their Bible.

Our mission is more than publishing, printing, and delivering books. It's connecting people with the living Word of God. Every Bible delivered represents someone praying for hope, someone asking questions, someone seeking truth, and someone whose life may be forever changed by encountering Christ through Scripture.

If that vision excites you, and you want your work to have eternal impact, we'd love to talk with you.
