Elim Bible Institute is a Bible college in Lima, New York, USA, offering a three-year program intended to prepare Christian leaders and workers for revival ministry. The school awards a two-year associate degree and one- and three-year non-degree certificates. ==History== Elim was founded in 1924 in Endwell, New York, by Ivan and Minnie Spencer. The school is named for a biblical location named in Exodus 15:27, wherein Elim was an oasis in the wilderness.〔(Our History ), Elim Bible Institute website, accessed May 24, 2010〕〔"(About )", Elim Bible Institute website, accessed May 24, 2010〕 In the 1920s, the school moved to Rochester and Red Creek, and in 1932 to Hornell, where it was located until 1951, when the Spencers moved Elim to its current site in Lima.〔(Benjamin and Sarah Dodzweit ), Corpus Christi Bible College website, accessed May 25, 2010〕 Beginning in 1948, Elim was a center for the Latter Rain Movement.〔Peter Althouse (2003), ''(Spirit of the last days: Pentecostal Eschatology in Conversation with Jürgen Moltmann )'', Volume 25 of ''Journal of Pentecostal Theology'', Continuum International Publishing Group.
