At EMS Gives Life our mission is simple – we educate first responders on how they can participate in organ donation, and then provide support if they choose to do so. We believe that the EMS community has a culture of caring and generosity that makes it a great fit to give the gift of life through organ donation, and we do everything possible to inform and support those who want to take that crucial next step towards donating.

Experience Jesus. Serve others. Change the World! Experience Jesus – 1 John 4:19 says, ”We love Him because He first loved us.” In order to do the Great Commandment (Love God and Love People – Mark 12:30-31) and the Great Commission (Make Disciples of Every Nation) we first have to experience His love for ourselves. We believe that it’s the love of Christ that transforms the human heart. Serve others – Once we've experienced His transforming love, we can’t help but love Him back and serve and reach others. We are a community of people who desire to encounter Jesus and share His love with those around us, just as Jesus did. Change the World – Matthew 28:19, “Go and make disciples (followers) of ALL nations…” Jesus calls us to change the world by helping others to experience His love and learn what it means to follow Him. Once you've experienced Him, you can’t help but seek to love others and change our world!
