A fresh outpouring: Global leaders and missionaries meet in London
More than 100 delegates from around the world gathered at Kensington Temple for a powerful week of worship, unity, and Holy Spirit renewal at Elim’s Missions and Global Conference.
6–9 May 2025 saw over 100 delegates from across the world gather at London’s Kensington Temple for the second-ever Elim Missions and Global Conference.
Kensington Temple provided the backdrop for a powerful week of encounters with God. Elim Missionaries arrived on Monday in preparation for an early Tuesday start at the Missions Conference, which seamlessly transitioned into the Global Conference on Wednesday night as Elim Global partners and Leaders from around the world joined them, culminating in a spontaneous outbreak of worship following the Friday nights consecration service.
Conferences can often take time to ‘warm up’, but with a 70-strong prayer team covering every aspect of the event, and seamless collaboration between KT, Missions, and Global teams, the presence of God was tangible from the start. Where brothers dwell together in unity, He commands the blessing!
It was heartwarming to see Elim’s missionaries not only receiving ministry but also encouraging one another. Laughter and connection filled the room as newer missionaries were welcomed into a family that prays together and supports each other.
Elim is blessed not only with missionaries serving across many nations, but also with Global partners leading ministries around the world. Like our missionaries, these leaders sacrificially give of themselves in places marked by great need, challenge, and suffering.
No one needs just another conference — but we all need a fresh encounter with God. This was our prayer. Lord come. Come and infill again. Restore, refresh, renew. Pour in to overflowing!
Our missionaries and partners came hungry and expectant — not to a man, but for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. God says, when we run to Him, He will run to us. And He did not disappoint, pouring out His Spirit without measure.
One missionary shared:
“After a tough year, we arrived at the conference in desperate need of refreshing — and that’s exactly what we received. Whether through worship, word, or ministry, the love flowing through our Elim Missions family was tangible. It wasn’t just ‘a lovely time’; it was life-giving and essential. Thank you.”
A deeply moving moment was when representatives from Pakistan and India stood together and prayed for peace during a time of heightened political tension — a powerful witness to unity in Christ.
Another partner, facing ongoing persecution, shared how they were revived by the Holy Spirit during the conference, filled to overflowing with joy, and empowered to return home and pour into their own leaders.
The fire is spreading!
