DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Taught three different groups of men how to read and understand Bible involving 76 men meeting through year in person or Zoom. The studies provided communities of sharing, support, and prayer which are desperately needed in our world today which is filled with an increasing amount of loneliness and isolation. In 2022 these Bible studies covered 8 books written either by the Apostle John or Paul in the New Testament. The belief of ELM is that by reading the Bible, we "encounter the Logos" which is Christ himself and his written Word for ourselves.$0$27,702
ELM held its first weekend retreat for the Bible Study participants. Twenty-five men retreated for two days in Northfield, IL receiving lectures on the spiritual disciplines of the Christian life. The retreat strengthened friendships and trust among the men and with God. The lectures were interspersed with small group discussions and other forms of group activities. Through this retreat and weekly Bible studies, ELM team members developed strong relationships with many of these men. ELM team members then continued to meet with the men throughout the year on an individual basis for discipleship, mentoring, and counsel. Because ELM team members are ordained clergy, they were also able to perform church functions such as memorial services, baptisms, and marriages for those who requested them - all as a function of ELM's religious offerings and activities.$0$13,851
ELM creates and publishes a monthly E-Blast to strengthen and encourage readers to grow in their relationship with Christ. Each message is three to four pages in length in a 'mini-sermon' format analyzing different global and national topics in our world today from a Biblical worldview. The E-Blasts were read by over 8000 people, many of whom are church leaders throughout the world. ELM believes people can "encounter Christ" through a well-crafted devotion or message in the same way a sermon provides for a congregant during a worship service. In addition to these regular monthly E-Blast messages, ELM also publishes and mails quarterly newsletters with stories from ELM's ministry to current supporters and new partners with ELM.$0$13,851
