Abi Elshaw - Apprentice Co-ordinator
Born again at an early age, Abi grew up in a Christian home. As an adult she wondered how she would bridge the gap from where she was to where she knew God was calling her to be.
After hearing Andrew Wommack's teaching she heard about Charis and realised that was the next step in reaching her destiny. She and her husband, John, attended Charis Bible College, Colorado for 2 years and worked for the ministry over there. Abi worked on both the Helpline and the conference team that travelled with Andrew. After graduating in 2006, Abi and John returned to the UK to do their Apprenticeship. During that time they also worked for AWME/CBC. Abi has served in various capacities including the UK Helpline and Pastoral Relations, but this year has developed and implemented the new 3rd year program in the Bible College.

What our Students say...
-
The teachings at Charis allowed me to see how much God values me as His child. As a result I have been able to value others around me. I can now enjoy relationships and see people for who God sees them. My marriage has been enriched, my friendships have sweetened and my outlook on life has been uplifted to a place where I never thought possible.
-
The bible was always important to me but for some reason I never took the time to appreciate it. After two years of having my eyes opened to the grace that is found within this precious book, I can now spend hours within it and enjoy heavenly food that changes my heart and life.
-
I never realised that the fullness of God was for me! I assumed that the full time ministers of God were the ones who God gave His power to. But since I have learned that I can have all of God to myself I have been more confident to be a husband and a father knowing that all of God’s resources are available to me. I can heal people, minister the gospel and do everything a TV evangelist does….just not on TV! God has blessed my everyday life with His life giving truth of Jesus.
-
I always wondered what my ‘calling’ was and where I was ‘called’ to. However, now that I have learned the true nature of God I am at peace knowing that all things work together for my good because I love the Lord and I am ‘called’ according to His purpose. So now I don’t worry about the details of the future because I have realised that I have been called to be loved by God and it is ‘in’ Christ that my calling is fulfilled.
-
I once laid hands on a deaf man’s ears and witnessed him hear for the first time. His eyes spoke more of the experience than what his mouth could for he still spoke like a dumb man. As he wept and shouted he could do no more than hug me and jump with excitement. Within a short time he ran with great haste toward his home with the Good News. I have learned that the Word of God works, believe the word and you will receive the manifestation of the word.
