Sylvia Evans and John Miller remember Elim leaders

Elim Heritage - Remembering Ivan and Minnie Spencer from Elim Fellowship on Vimeo.

In the videos above and down below, Sylvia Evans and John Miller remember those who have been leaders of Elim Bible Institute in Lima, New York.

In her video, Sylvia reminisces about Elim's founders, Ivan and Minnie Spencer. The Spencers

founded Elim in 1924 and it went on to be known for its passion for the Lord, the Spirit's power and gifts, worldwide missions, unity in the Body of Christ, and its summer camp meetings.

John Miller is an instructor at Elim and his video remembers several of Elim's leaders by taking a trip to Oak Ridge Cemetery.

In addition to Ivan, Minnie, Sylvia, and John, here are some of the other outstanding leaders who have served Elim:

• Carlton Spencer (Ivan's son and Elim's second president)
• H. David Edwards
• Bob Mumford
• Robert and Paul Johannson
• Dwight Niswander (also served with David Schoch in Long Beach, CA)
• Winston Nunes
• Costa Deir
• Michael Cavanaugh

Also associated with Elim Bible Institute are the Elim Fellowship of churches and ministers, as well as, Elim Gospel Church in Lima.
