Help Izzy study at Ellel Ministries
Hello! Since 11th October 2021, I have been attending a full-time residential discipleship training school, called N.E.T.S. (Never Ever The Same) run by Ellel Ministries at Ellel Pierrepont International in the UK. I am currently at the end of Stage 1 – which lasts for 10 weeks – out of an option to complete 4 stages in total (each 10 weeks long). www.ellel.uk

What is NETS
Nets at Ellel Ministries focuses on healing prayer ministry. We are here being ministered to, receiving healing, including inner healing, restoration and wholeness (sozo), whilst being equipped to minister to others face to face. We can see the outworking of this as we are used by the Lord to minister to others through healing and deliverance prayer ministry.
Living out a life of discipleship, and following the model of Jesus is what NETS is based on :-
Luke 9:11 “Jesus welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.” Welcome. Teach. Heal.
Isaiah 61:1-7: We are being taught in relation to each part of Isaiah 61, seeing how it applies:
What Jesus came to do and continues to do:
· To bind up the brokenhearted
· To proclaim freedom for the captives and release for prisoners
· To comfort those who mourn
· To give beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, praise instead of despair

The calling from God that brought me to Ellel
I feel very much called here. There is a much wider story, but in brief and in the more recent past:
· For several years, I have been housebound, sadly not able to work or study due to the physical disease of myalgic encephalomyelitis.
· In 2018, I was put on a waiting list for a 2 day healing retreat at Ellel Pierrepont.
· In the months before I was invited, various people around me, who were praying for my physical health, received many pictures of breakthrough.
· Out of the blue in June 2021, I received a phone call from Ellel Pierrepont asking if I wished to attend the two-day healing retreat occurring the next month. I gratefully accepted.
· At the healing retreat, during a ministry session receiving personal prayer, we were waiting on the Lord for what He had for my future. My prayer minister said she felt the Lord wanted me to attend NETS, but this was surprising as it was also unusual for someone attending this healing retreat to go on to NETS.
· Also, in September 2020, I had been given by a wonderful couple in my parents’ Autumn term York Vineyard home group, Isaiah 61 to pray every day, in terms of receiving healing from m.e. I prayed earnestly every evening asking the Lord that I see this scripture as a reality in my life. I’ve now landed in this place where we focus on Isaiah 61 very heavily as the basis of the whole ministry, and the course is laid out to reflect this. I never would have thought I would be here. God is so good.
More of My Experience here at Ellel
So far, sooo much has happened in my own life here. I have seen Jesus do incredible things that were already prophesied.
It has been very challenging, especially the first few weeks, with poor physical health. I have had many realisations of just how much, especially inner, and other healing, I needed. However, it is Jesus who does this, and of course our relationship with him is more important than the healing he provides.
I was excited and astounded when I was handed the, hundreds of pages, giant scripture theology-based textbook for the 10 weeks of Stage 1! This wonderful tome has a good overview of bible law and grace, power and authority, and the healing ministry.
I attend a session with my mentor once a week. We also receive great teaching from travelling teachers, including Peter and Fiona Horrobin (Peter was the original founder of Ellel Ministries in 1986). We have heard so many amazing testimonies from these various teachers, and from people living here, about how their lives have been restored by Jesus.
This is an encouraging multi-generational, multi-cultural and multi-national environment. There are 9 of us here in our dormitory, with a very friendly and accepting atmosphere. At Pierrepont, there is wonderful, almost daily, sung worship. I also attend workshops, including art based “healing through Creativity”. Due to continuous fellowship with others, great teaching, and exercising spiritual gifts, I am being drawn into greater intimacy with the Lord.
Future Vision and Stages
I am sure I should attend Stage 2 and hope to attend Stage 3, but do not yet have clarity of my long-term vision which I believe will emerge as I continue step by step to seek after God and his direction.
Stage 1 focuses on our own Inner, and other, healing. The further 3 stages involve greater emphasis to help other churches/Christians visiting Pierrepont, eventually with teaching opportunities at other churches both in the UK and on two mission trips.

Cost
Updated price for residential NETS is now £3,000, which includes class-based tuition, personal mentoring, visiting speakers, meals, textbook, dorm accommodation, teas and coffee, laundry, and a large library. Living expenses, including travel: £500. Therefore, total funds needed, £3,500. Due to health issues, I have unfortunately not been able to do any paid work in order to raise funds for Stage 2. Stage 2 starts early January 2022, therefore I will need funding by 31 December 2021. However, I have been comforted by 2 Corinthians chapter 9.
