Echoes of Service is a missionary support agency founded in 1872 based in Bath, England.
[2] The society began as a periodical named The Missionary Echo, taking inspiration from an earlier publication, The Missionary Reporter edited by James Von Summer of Tottenham.
[2] The society exists to support missionaries serving outside the United Kingdom, who follow the principle of "living by faith", pioneered by missionaries such as Anthony Norris Groves and James Hudson Taylor.
When the magazine assumed the new name of 'Echoes of Service', the editors included the following explanation: "For the information of those who have not seen this periodical in its small form as the Missionary Echo, we would say that its special object is to give tidings regarding the work of servants of Christ who have gone forth to other lands with the gospel in the Lord's name only and in dependence on Him for the supply of their daily need.
Telephone Echoes (recorded twice-weekly) and weekly prayer update, by fax or email, with up-to-date news and prayer requests are also offered, as well as books and fact files about many aspects of cross-cultural missionary service.
