history
After the various evangelical mission societies in Germany came together for the first time in 1968, the first conference of evangelical missions was held in Frankfurt am Main in 1969 in conjunction with the German Evangelical Alliance . The result was the “Conference of Evangelical Missions”, in which 26 organizations with around 650 missionaries came together. It is now called the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft Evangelikaler Missions" (AEM) and was registered in 1974 as a registered association.
In 1979 the training program Seminar for Missionary Further Education (SMF) was founded. In 1983 the AEM published the “Principles for the Handling of Donations” (AEM Donation Principles) and in 1985 the “Principles for Public Relations”.
In 2001 the Academy for World Mission Korntal gGmbH was founded.
