Course Leaders
Elijah House Ministries could not function without our valued volunteer Course Leaders. Their efforts enrich and enhance lives at courses as participants gain fresh understanding, insight and healing. The testimonies that we often receive from those whose lives have been touched and changed bear witness to the generosity of spirit of our Course Leaders, as they unselfishly gift others with their compassion, time, talent and leadership qualities.
