Ellel Ministries

Ellel Ministries is a non-denominational Christian mission organisation with a vision to welcome people, teach them about the Kingdom of God and heal those in need.

Jesus encouraged the disciples to pray, "Your Kingdom come... on earth, as it is in Heaven" and we believe He is still encouraging us to pray in the same way. God rejoices when His Kingdom authority is established in our lives and we learn to live in the presence and power of His Holy Spirit. In this way we become disciples and are able to enter into the destiny He has prepared for us. We long to see the Christian community rise up in strength of God to do the works of the Kingdom.

The vision for the Ellel Ministry was planted in the heart of its founder, Peter Horrobin, many years before the work began. In 1970 Peter was offered the vandalised remains of a 1933 Alvis sports car for £50. As a classic car enthusiast he could not refuse and immediately set about restoring it. One night, however, he discovered that the chassis was bent and that it was possibly beyond repair. It was at this point that God spoke to him and said that while Peter could straighten the chassis and rebuild the car, only God could straighten and rebuild broken lives. It was a word that would never be forgotten.

A few years later Peter received a call from someone who was trying to help a very distressed lady. When he arrived, Peter did not know how to help - everything he had learnt before seemed useless when faced with such real life issues. Through prayer, God revealed to Peter something about the lady's personal situation which was a key to unlocking the healing process in her life. As Peter returned home, God once again spoke clearly to him about how He wanted him to spend the rest of his life bringing healing to those in need and teaching others how to do likewise.

God's word was unmistakeable, and from that point on Peter prayed fervently for a biblical understanding of the healing ministry and the beginning of the work which was to become his life calling. A committed group gathered to pray regularly for the establishment of the work which was later to become the Ellel Ministry.

On 31st October 1986 Ellel Grange was acquired in a miraculous way. Nearly half a million pounds were required for the property and its contents and on the completion date, as Peter sat at his desk and totalled up the gifts and loans that were available, he could hardly believe his eyes. When he put on one side of a piece of paper everything that was needed for the purchase, together with all the expenses to date, and on the other side all the income that had been received from gifts and loans, the income exceeded the expenditure by just £6! God had worked a miracle, the building was purchased, and the work began.

In the years since 1986 the Ellel Ministry has grown rapidly in response to an increasing worldwide need. There are over 275 full-time workers, and a regular ministry team of over 350 volunteer associates. Through its centres the ministry serves the Body of Christ worldwide, providing retreats, courses, schools, church visits and conferences. At the heart of the Ministry is a desire to see the Church trained and equipped to do the works of the Kingdom.
