OUR LEADERSHIP
PASTOR AJAI & MAUREENA PRAKASH. MISSIONARIES FROM THE MIDDLE EAST TO THE MIDWEST OF THE UNITED STATES. “OUR GREATEST HOPE AND DESIRE IS FOR THE AMERICAN CHURCH TO BE RE-IMPASSIONED FOR CHRIST SO THAT SHE TOO COULD EXPERIENCE THE SAME REVIVAL EXPERIENCED BY MUCH OF THE UNDERGROUND CHURCH THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.”
OUR STRATEGY
I MUST BE REVIVED
It all begins with an individual encounter with JESUS. We are heavily focused on discipleship and take Jesus’ example in caring for the ONE. We earnestly pray that God would mark all that we do with genuine authenticity and integrity.
The ELIM House [DISCIPLESHIP]WE MUST BE REVIVED
After we have an encounter with God it’s only natural that we want those closest to us to experience it too. Everyone must reconcile that a huge part of following Jesus involves not living in isolation but being shaped and molded through God centered relationships. Marriages and families are deeply upon our heart; they are divine institutions that we want to protect in Jesus name.
The ELIM Team [FAMILY]OUR CHURCH MUST BE REVIVED
We are called to live in community. We need each other. We need to learn how to love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. A big element in garnering this type of lifestyle involves learning how to love our neighbor as ourselves. Something truly miraculous things take place when we pray, cry, worship, read the word, hear the word and walk through valleys and mountains TOGETHER.
The Well of IOWA [CHURCH]OUR CITY MUST BE REVIVED
A REVIVED church awakens the city streets. When the people of God come together, the power of God equips us to MAKE AN IMPACT in the city around us. We strive to serve and point a lost and hurting city to JESUS in every way that God has equipped us to. Sometimes it looks like an outreach event and other times, it looks like praying for someone at Wal-Mart.
REVIVE ME WORSHIP NIGHTS, GOOD FRIDAY, CHRISTMASOUR STATE MUST BE REVIVED
City engagement leads to other cities taking notice and reaching out. Over time this has led us to establish a regional network that we have now been serving for over 10 years. From youth camps to other churches, God has increased our influence and allowed us to serve our state wide body of Christ in amazing ways.
REVIVE ME TOURSOUR NATION MUST BE REVIVED
Beyond our annual conference, “REVIVE ME: A NATIONAL CALL for Personal Revival,” we engage our nation (and world) through many digital channels. We create original content and spread the power of what God is doing at every level in our ministry so that His glory is shown to all who have ears to hear and eyes to see.
REVIVE ME CONFERENCE + MEDIA
With the majority of us having grown up in homes not centered on Jesus - we are so thankful that God has given us an AMAZING opportunity to stand in the gap for a broken generation.
We are all the fruit of Pastor Ajai and Maureena’s ministry/obedience. They heard the call to be more than just pastors; they inhabited the role of being spiritual parents.
The journey to get to where we are has been difficult but more rewarding than we could have ever imagined. God has transformed our lives by teaching us who we are and WHOSE we are in the context of true Godly family.
The ELIM Team
REVIVE ME:
A National Call for Personal Revival
There is no doubt that the soul of our nation is at stake---its foundation is neglected; its people are divided, and its future is resting upon a generation that is compromised by disillusioned morality. Instead of accepting the status quo, the body of Christ must cry out for God to revive us once again. The United States has been at its best when its churches have been the strongest and when its people were the most spiritually alive. Our country desperately needs another outpouring of God's Spirit.
THE UNDERGROUND TENTMAKERS
This is the story of God’s calling upon Pastor Ajai & Maureena into gospel ministry and extraordinary opportunity to bring the saving gospel of Christ to nations normally closed to Christian mission. AND..this is the story of how God has sent them from the Middle East, to become missionaries to us in the USA.
With just two suitcases, Pastor Ajai and Maureena entered the United States. And now 20+ years later, God has birthed a church and ministry through their time pursuing revival and investing into lives in the heartland
VISION STATEMENT:
“BRINING A GENERATION TO THE REST FOUND IN JESUS, ONE LIFE AT A TIME WITH THE HEART INFUSED BY THE PASSION FOR REVIVAL.”
