From 19 to 21 November 2026, delegates from the member churches and member organisations of the Evangelical Mission in Solidarity (EMS) will gather in Bad Boll for the General Meeting. Under the guiding theme “Ambassadors of Hope – Sharing Hope”, the meeting will focus on the shared calling of churches to make God's hope visible in a wounded world marked by crises.

As the EMS's central decision-making body, the General Meeting provides a space for encounters, exchange and joint deliberation. Delegates from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Europe will bring their diverse perspectives and experiences to the table and discuss the future direction of the international network.

Key topics will include global ecumenical cooperation, the responsibility of churches in challenging times and how hope can be put into practice through collective action.

Together, the delegates will strengthen their ties, share experiences and shape the future of EMS – as ambassadors of hope across national and continental borders.
