Serve indigenous and foreign ministries who are helping the poor and sharing the good news of Jesus
Mobilize technical professionals to design ministries' development projects when no local design resource is available, affordable or trustworthy
Design small to large scope projects including schools, hospitals, orphanages, bridges, water systems and more
Project Approach
![Page 8: Engineering Ministries International. If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce55503460f949b1ec9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
EMI team of 5-10 design professionals spends 1-2 weeks at project site initiating design effort: surveying, architecture design, engineering research
Ministry is responsible for hosting EMI design team in country, fund-raising and construction
Team takes 3-6 months after site visit finalizing design for fundraising and construction
Establish long-lasting relationships and send more teams to design future phases

Primarily topographic surveying for master planning
Some boundary surveying
Instruments vary from protractor and string to robotic total station
Do not move your neighbor's boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
Deuteronomy 19:14
Surveying
![Page 12: Engineering Ministries International. If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce55503460f949b1ec9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Goal is to design buildings that are a step or two above regional norm:
Functional - better use of space
Safe - redundant, resist earthquakes and wind
Cost-effective - better use of materials than typical buildings, while still being culturally appropriate and sustainable
1-2 buildings designed during a typical project
Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?
Luke 14:28
Building Design
![Page 13: Engineering Ministries International. If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce55503460f949b1ec9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Take time to understand the vision God has given the ministry
Show how buildings, roads, infrastructure and recreation can best fit on the site
Show how site can be developed over years
Focus on Phase 1, later phases may change with the scope of a ministry
All this I have in writing from the hand of the LORD upon me, and he gave me understanding in all the details of the plan.
I Chronicles 28:19
Master Planning
![Page 14: Engineering Ministries International. If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce55503460f949b1ec9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
InfrastructureSometimes overlooked, but vitally important:
Water systems
Wastewater disposal systems
Electrical systems
Dams, bridges and roads
Agriculture and irrigation
Challenge is to keep it simple, so it can be maintained and repaired
Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. As part of your equipment have something to dig with,
and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement.Deuteronomy 23:12-13

EMI’s Impact
![Page 19: Engineering Ministries International. If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce55503460f949b1ec9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
St. Luke’s Society AIDS ClinicKampala, Uganda
PROBLEM: A ministry assisting people with various health issues including AIDS was operating out of a half-size shipping container and metal shack.
SOLUTION: EMI designed a simple building with a few offices, treatment room, training room, lab, and bathrooms. The waiting room is a large, covered porch. While protected from the rain and sun, the open area catches the pleasant afternoon breezes. The building costs were within the means of the ministry.
Case Study
![Page 20: Engineering Ministries International. If anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth,](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce55503460f949b1ec9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
St. Luke’s Society AIDS ClinicKampala, Uganda
RESULTS: A new 2,000 square foot clinic building allows the ministry to treat more patients and share Christ with them. The clinic director, Rebecca told EMI how much the new clinic improved their ministry. She could hardly contain herself due to the great joy in her heart
Case Study
It’s wonderful! We will finally have a place to train our workers, a place to immunize children, and a place to help people with all of their health needs.
