ABBA
Ready to Fight the Good Fight!!!
Praise God—Abba Elishas took place from August 4–8, 2025. Over these days the Lord met the 500 participants as a loving Father—strengthening faith, bringing healing and freedom, and confirming callings to serve the next generation. We’re grateful for every pastor, leader, and volunteer who labored so many unseen hours. Below are a few testimonies and words of gratitude in the participants’ own voices:
My name is Eunice Elizabeth. I’m a pastor’s daughter and a children and youth ministry leader. Today God reminded me that although the enemy brings up my past and I struggled to forgive myself, He has already forgiven and justified me. The past is behind me; He gives me authority to teach and minister as a new creation, called to serve the next generation. Being a pastor’s kid is both a privilege and a challenge—I have my parents’ guidance but also the weight of being an example—yet God counts on me.
-Eunice Elizabeth Chatata Herrera, Cusco
I’m grateful to be here—I’ve sensed the Holy Spirit moving in every corner. I traveled from Guayaquil, Ecuador, through Piura to Lima, praying the whole way to encounter His presence. As a pastor’s kid and a youth leader, I was burdened heavily; the enemy puts barriers in our path. But the Lord keeps telling me, “I am your Father, and I will give you strength.” I came to open my heart to Him because I’d been feeling spiritually dry—tired and alone. Addition to my personal struggle, in my country, there is so much violence and insecurity. But He has heard my prayers and answered me during this conference. Today, I believe He will touch many young people here and my church back in Ecuador. He is my King and my Lord and most of all, my beloved Father.

I want to thank God first for giving me the opportunity to be here at this beautiful event. It has been a great blessing for my life—and not only for me, but for everyone who received a word from God in their heart. I have been edified, transformed, and set free. Here, in His presence, God does His work in each of us. I am very sure of my calling, and God has confirmed many things that were pending in my heart. Thanks be to God, He is giving me courage and power in the Spirit to keep moving forward. Thank you to everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this event possible. May God bless you greatly, and may you continue in the purpose He has given you as an organization. Thank you very much.
