Pastors and Leaders

A key part of the vision for Ellel Ministries is to be a resource to the local church by encouraging and assisting pastors and leaders in their work of seeing believers become healthy, effective disciples, whose lives are both honouring God and attracting other people to Him.

In many ways the healing ministry is used by the Lord to improve the condition of the soil of people's lives (as seen in the Parable of the Farmer Scattering Seed in Mark 4:1-20). As the hard places are softened and the rocks and weeds are removed, it enables the person to receive God's Word without hindrance and therefore leads to greater fruitfulness. This in turn creates a healthy church which is able to be effective for God's work in proclaiming the Kingdom of God and bringing hope and healing to those in need.

We also have a heart to minister to pastors and leaders who are in need. For many in leadership it is a very lonely place and there is no-one safe to go to for help. In addition to our normal Healing Retreats Ellel Ministries also has special ministry retreats in Scotland to meet this need.

The main ways we can help are:

• Church Visits
  A team visits a local church (or group of churches) to lead a teaching and ministry event
• Retreats for Pastors and Leaders
  Special ministry opportunities for leaders in a safe, confidential environment
• Building a Ministry Team
  Specific resources to help a church grow their own prayer ministry team
