IN THIS ISSUE // FALL 2012 04 06 08 10 11 FORMED FOR SERVICE Paul Johansson tells how God used Elim to help prepare him for ministry. SUMMER OF LOVE God did miracles on campus this summer with a multitude of volunteers. IN THE HARVEST FIELD Elim alumni share their experiences pastoring an international church in Vietnam. STAYING EQUIPPED Take an EBI online class this winter and get better equipped right from home. RAISING UP THE NEXT GENERATION The first ever Lift MiniCamp is helping EBI students prepare for ministry. From the DESK OF THE PRESIDENT As I write this, it has been four months since I was named the 7th President of Elim Bible Institute. It has been an incredible four months! We have experienced the most amazing groundswell of support for the school that has enabled us to invest in upgrading the campus, although we had almost no money and not nearly enough workers to do it. How did it happen? Dozens of individuals and churches have simply volunteered, giving time and money to transform the campus. Check it out in the article titled “Summer of Love.” As I think of my new role as President of EBI, I have an image in my mind. It is of Carlton Spencer, the son of our founder I.Q Spencer, as a 10-year-old boy walking down the railroad tracks near Elim. He is looking for pieces of coal that had fallen from the train, then carrying them back to the campus so they could be used in the school’s coal stove to heat the area where the students were studying. Amazingly, on my first day on the job as President, 98-year-old Carlton Spencer was on campus and laid his hands on me in a prayer of consecration. I was humbled. I think of the equity of the lives of so many who have gone before us that has brought the school to where it is today. In its 88-year history, countless believers have given their lives, fortunes and intercessions to see Elim fulfill its mission. I want to do all I can to preserve the results of their sacrifice, because there is still a promise to be inherited. Our inheritance is to prepare laborers for worldwide revival. Elim is never more in the center of God’s will than when it is preparing pastors, missionaries, church planters and worship leaders. To learn more about Pastor Mike, visit elim.edu/meetpastormike. The page includes several video messages from him, including his vision for training young people for ministry. There are also short bios of each member of his family and videos by several of them.
