:''For the British Pentecostal denomination, see Elim Pentecostal Church.'' The Elim Fellowship is a North American–based Pentecostal/charismatic Christian denomination that emphasizes the spread of revival and renewal. == History == Ivan and Minnie Spencer founded Elim Bible Institute in 1924 at Hornell, New York. Spencer, a young minister, had a vision to train ministers to work in revival and renewal movements. The Elim Fellowship began in 1933 as the Elim Ministerial Fellowship, an informal fellowship of graduates of Elim Bible Institute. In 1947 this loose fellowship incorporated as the Elim Missionary Assemblies and in 1972 adopted the name "Elim Fellowship". Elim, describing itself as a "worldwide revival fellowship", serves pastors, churches, missionaries and other support ministries. The ''Elim Fellowship of Evangelical Churches and Ministers'' (Canada) was incorporated in 1982. Headquarters of the fellowship are located in Lima, New York. In 1997 the ''Elim Fellowship'' had 190 churches with an estimated membership of 21,000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elim Fellowship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
