About Us

Emmaus was born out of a dream , a passion and a desire to serve God to a generation of people who are blinded by the things of the world .In the bible story of the road to Emmaus , the two disciples were met by a stranger , who listened as they walked on their journey to their home in Emmaus . They were discouraged , in deep despair and grieving for Jesus , who had being taken from them . They did not understand what had happened and as they poured out what events had occured , the sciptures say that their hearts "burned within them". As they approached Emmaus , they invited the stranger into their home and as was the custom the stranger broke the bread at the meal table . As soon as he did that , their eyes were immediately opened and they recognised that it had been Jesus all along .

The town Emmaus is still known today as a place of hospitality. At Emmaus Community Christian Bookshop we believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and we have a personal relationship with Jesus, after recognising that He loved us so much by dying on the cross for our sins ,we then acknowledged that we are sinners and in need of a saviour. We have invited Him into our hearts and now He lives in us. Everyday we allow our eyes to be opened to His truths found in His word "The Bible "If you are like those  two disciples on the road to Emmaus, then I invite you to read JOHN chapter 3 verse 16 in the Bible and find this wonderful saviour for yourself. He loves you so much and wants you to have your eyes opened to the truth. God bless you.
