A testimony!

To all our Elijah House Friends, greetings in Jesus Name! 

 Recently one of our interns shared her feelings about the internship program and Elijah House. Her views were so encouraging, and reminded us all why we do what we do!  I asked her if I could share her comments with you:

 

My name is Renee and I am 30 years old and participating in the internship program at Elijah House Ministries. My past education and experience includes an undergraduate degree, a Masters degree in Counseling from a well known seminary, licensing  as a counselor and almost four years of counseling experience in a psychiatric hospital. 

I am amazed at the depth of training I have received through Elijah House.  As I reflect on all the education, training and experience I have received up to this point, I am confident in saying that the training that Elijah House has provided has been the best ministry training of my life.  

            I now realize that much of my past education leaned heavily on knowledge but was weak in showing me how that knowledge applied to real life and hurting people.  Elijah House excels at teaching biblical principles and truths and then modeling and teaching you how to apply them through the leading of the Holy Spirit.  I am grateful for the integration that has taken place in my life between knowledge, experience and application.

I have no doubt that I will leave Elijah House not only with more knowledge of my God and His ways but, most importantly, with many, many experiences of my God and His ways.  Through my experiences and training at Elijah House, I now completely believe that God will heal the hearts of his people.  I have seen Him do this over and over again during my time here.  God has shown me that He really is the great healer and deliverer for his people, and that His Spirit is alive and at work everyday everywhere. (Visit our Elijah House website and read more testimonies at elijahhouse.org)

 The Lord has been showing us new and exciting ways to carry Elijah House into the future. Our new website will be available online very soon! New DVD’s, CD’s and seminars are being created even as I write!

    We invite you to be a part of accomplishing the “Elijah Task” in today’s world. Would you prayerfully consider making a donation to help us continue teaching and equipping others with this life-changing message?

Look what's happening at Elijah House!

We can hardly keep up with the requests for ministry in all the areas of writing, teaching and prayer ministry!

Seminars:

Since January our EH teachers have spoken at seminars in eight states as well as Austria, Malaysia, Taiwan and Japan. Our schedule is already full for 2008 and we are now booking seminars into 2009 and 2010!

Our newest seminars:

· "Tell Your Heart to Beat Again – Healing from Trauma"

· "Strategic Prophetic Warfare and the Body of Christ"

Both of these seminars will be filmed and available for purchase sometime next year.

Schools:

Our training department has gone to a new level! 60 "Video Facilitated Schools" are running this fall in the U.S. and Canada. New leaders are being trained and released!

Both Basic I and Basic II schools in May and July were awesome! They were taught live by a variety of Elijah House teachers. Students came from many denominations and several nations and cultures. Watching a cross section of the Body of Christ come into unity and healing is always a tremendous blessing!

Our next live schools will be the "Prophetic School," taught by Mark Sandford and Robert Fetveit, September 13-17 in Vienna, Austria and October 6-11 in Spokane, Wa. Video schools may be held through facilitators who attend a live school and submit an application.

Prayer Ministry and Internship:

A steady stream of people continues to seek prayer ministry. Many lives are blessed and hearts are healed! Our prayer ministers also train interns in what is undoubtedly the best such program available.

International Elijah Houses:

Our international influence continues to spread, with more requests than we can answer! Thus far, there are Elijah Houses in: Australia, Austria, Finland, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand and Taiwan. By the end of the year an EH team will have visited them all. Although they are autonomous, we continue to mentor and pray for each one.
