Every Home for Christ

The Vision of EHC is to reach everyone where they live with the message and influence of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

From house to hut to shanty to the street - wherever people can be found across the farthest reaches of the earth, EHC has been proclaiming the good news of God's salvation since 1946.

To equip and mobilize Christians to pray for the harvest and present the gospel of Jesus Christ home by home throughout the world, making disciples in all nations.

EHC is committed to fulfilling the great commission of Christ in this generation. As Jesus Himself said, "this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." We are driven by determination to obey our Lord and complete the mission He gave us: to take his message of salvation to every people group in every place on earth.

EHC celebrated 60 years of missions in October 2006. Over 2.3 billion pieces of gospel literature have been distributed home to home resulting on over 47 million responses.

Over 1000 homes are being visited every day and over 110,000 Christ Groups have been set up world-wide, where there have been no previous evangelical witness.

In 2005 the responses were over 6 million!

EHC's courageous workers must climb mountains, wade through rivers, trek across barren lands, cut through dense jungles and even brave the perils of war zones to deliver Gospel literature to every home.

All glory be to Christ - the Lord of the harvest.

Of course, when we say "every home" we actually refer as well to those whose home is a prison, a hospital or a ship. For millions of people, "home" is a sidewalk in a teeming city or a cardboard box in a slum. Wherever people are, EHC goes to them with the Good News of Jesus.

	Every work of eternal consequence demands focused, united prayer. Prayer unleashes the power and provision of God. He inhabits the praise and prayer of his people, so we are committed to building on the foundation of disciplined prayer. EHC (UK) is able to run prayer schools to train believers for a life of prayer. EHC continues to build a network of Christians around the world who pray faithfully and with great intensity for the fulfillment of our mission. We encourage you to be part of this network.
Extensive research takes place prior to EHC's evangelistic initiatives. We ask, "How many people in this region are without the Gospel? How do they live? What do they believe? What spiritual issues are holding them in bondage?" This research addresses social, religious and political history, as well as economic realities.
	EHC is committed to working exclusively through national, indigenous leadership. One who knows the culture, speaks the language and identifies completely is able to communicate much more effectively. Financial support for indigenous leaders and workers generally costs less than the support of western missionaries, so this is a matter of wise stewardship, as well.
For more than 60 years we have partnered with scores of Christian organizations in order to get the job done. Whether the task is training, transportation, translation or some other work, EHC recognises and appreciates the value of Christ-centered partnership.
	Systematically going to every dwelling in an entire nation to present the Gospel has proven to be a do-able, reachable goal. Using a variety of media - literature, recording devices, visual charts, etc. - we communicate the message and keep track of where we've been. Saturation to us literally means going to every home for Christ, reaching adults and children alike.
Simply planting the seed is not enough. We also do everything possible to cultivate and conserve the fruits of our labours. Response cards are included with all of our evangelistic literature. We respond to cards recieved with a four-lesson Bible correspondence course and direct seekers into existing churches or EHC's Christ Groups.
	When we distribute literature and declare the Gospel in places where no churches exist, EHC workers begin fellowships called Christ Groups. These are formed around the world for worship and training of new disciples. Many of these groups have become established, mature congregations.
Following our Lord's example, we look upon the countless sheep without a shepherd and are moved with compassion for them. That compassion is expressed in many ways: assisting disaster victims, taking in the children of the streets from Latin America's teeming cities, medical and school facilities in India, sponsorship of children & evangelists. We cannot separate the verbal declaration of the gospel from the literal demonstration of its reality.
	The worldwide ministry of EHC is supported by the charitable gifts of people from diverse Christian backgrounds who value the gospel of Christ and the people for whom Christ gave his life. In order to take the gospel to everyone everywhere, we are engaged in a multitude of projects that enable us to carry out all of these mission essentials. For a list of partnership opportunities and projects you can support, see our Support Page.
Our History: The ministry of Every Home for Christ was born in Canada in 1946. For over 40 years we were known as World Literature Crusade before adopting our new name in 1988. But one thing has never changed: for every day of our existence this outreach has been devoted to the communication of God's Word to people in need. From remote villages to densely-populated urban areas, the Good News has gone out unceasingly.
