This camp outside Montevideo hosts summer camps for children teens and families. It serves as a retreat and conference center throughout the year. Many of the graduates from the EMU Bible Institute founded in 1947 serve in Uruguayan churches. Others work in other Spanish-speaking countries. Matias Espinel himself attended Bob Jones University. He later earned an MA in Pastoral Studies and a Master of Divinity. He and his wife Kristine now play a crucial role in EMU’s work. Their ministry includes the establishment of F.E.B.U. a four-year Bible College. This college opened its doors in 2014.
