Free Resources for Leaders

Welcome to Emmaus Road Institute
Emmaus Road Institute was born out of a great need to provide continuing education and free resources for pastors and leaders in developing countries. Emmaus Road Institute is designed to meet two great needs in the Body of Christ. The first is to provide options for continuing education for current leaders. The second is a commitment to raise up a new generation of readers to lead the Church into the next two decades, should Jesus tarry.
