Calling to the harvest - Chris Cartwright

Chris was ordained in 1993 and has ministered for over twenty-five years. He began serving on the pastoral team at Kensington Temple in the late 1980s in a variety of ministry roles. From 1997 to 2010, Chris was the senior pastor of the City Temple in Cardiff. In 2010 he became the Regional Leader for Wales and the Southern Region before being appointed as the General Superintendent of Elim in May 2016.
 


Messengers of hope in times of challenge - Gavin Calver

Formerly the leader of Youth for Christ and chair of Spring Harvest, he’s an ordained evangelist and regular public speaker, and has authored six books.
 


What do you see? - Boyd Ratnaraja

Clarity provides momentum, confidence, and direction. Clarity is a leader’s best friend. When a leader has clarity, everyone wins. What do you see? Join Boyd as we journey together in pursuit of clarity.

Boyd and Sharon are the national leaders of Elim New Zealand and the senior pastors of Elim International Church in Wellington. They have devoted their lives to building the local church, raising up leaders and helping people fall in love with Jesus.
 


Power- Danielle Strickland

God’s power is as different from as it is greater than any other power. How can we live the alternative vision of the good gospel in the present moment? We need power. Rooted in Acts 1 and Exodus 3.

From establishing justice departments and church plants to launching global anti-trafficking initiatives to creating new initiatives to mobilise people towards transformational spiritual life, Danielle trains, advocates, and inspires people to live differently through various initiatives and through her books, including her latest release ‘The other side of hope’.
 


Confirmation - Danielle Strickland

God’s power will always be a confrontation to the powers of this world. How do we fight against the principalities and power of this world using God’s power in a way that brings life? Rooted in Acts 10 and Acts 16.
