A historic ‘first-ever’ REGIONAL REVIVAL MOMENT calling a GENERATION to the rest found in JESUS at the iconic Carver Hawkeye Arena, in Iowa City.

We are praying for representation for friends from at least a 250 mile radius of Iowa City after serving camps, churches, retreats and city wide worship moments across the heartland for over a decade.

A time full of worship, prayer, and the Word of God. Our ultimate goal is to MAKE ROOM for God to speak to us, transform our lives and enable us to BE the change God wants us to be. (We are also praying about how we can actually serve/love the city of Iowa City in practical ways. Stay tuned for more details on this). Towards the end of the night, there will be a time for deep ministry and the opportunity to respond to the gospel and be baptized / share testimony.

This gathering is open to everyone. If you have a hunger for God and a desire to see Iowa City (and surrounding areas) healed and restored, this moment is for YOU.

With us being at a University, we are definitely hoping for youth groups and college groups across the midwest region to rally together. We have connections within nationwide networks alongside churches across our area.

The ELIM Arrival is the evangelical outreach arm team of The Well of Iowa church located in North Liberty, IA. This arm has been active for 13 years and Pastor Ajai and Maureena Prakash (alongside Sunny Singh) have lead the way from its inception. Elim Team consists of 15+ people who have walked together for over a decade doing ministry across the heartland. Other friends, Pastors and ministry leaders from across the region will be engaged in this time as well.

Our primary goal is to set up a time for people to meet Jesus. We want this time to feel organic, authentic and simple.

ELIM is synonymous with the phrase ‘a place of rest’ and comes from Exodus 15:26-27. We pronounce ELIM like “LM.”

Literally, it’s an oasis with 12 wells and 70 palm trees that exists even to this day! The Israelites found rest and refuge at ELIM after crossing the Red Sea shortly after God laid a prophetic ordinance over his people who despite profound miracles from God, found themselves in unwanted wilderness that was stealing their faith and peace.

“If you listen to my voice and head to my commands, I won’t put the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians - for I AM THE LORD WHO HEALS YOU. Then they came to ELIM where there were 12 wells and 70 palm trees and they camped there by the waters.”

Exodus 15:26-27

We believe this same ordinance applies to us today. And a place of rest is truly ‘just around the corner’ much like the ELIM oasis was to the Israelites. In Matt 11:28, Jesus said “Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I WILL GIVE YOU REST.’ This place of rest truly has a name (JESUS) and His peace can be experienced tangibly; if we chose to heed to Him.

Ineverything we do, everywhere where go and everything that outpours from us, we earnestly pray that the fruit would be and ARRIVAL to the rest found in the name and presence of Jesus.

The Elim Arrival is the outreach branch of The Well of Iowa church body based out of North Liberty, Iowa. Our mission is to bring a generation to the REST found in Jesus one life at a time with a heart infused by the passion for REVIVAL.

ELIM encapsulates a powerful creative team of revivalists/worshippers/songwriters/speakers/rappers, and stories of God’s power.

This movement is stewarded by Pastor Ajai and Maureena Prakash, missionaries from the Middle East other the Midwest. Learn more about our story here:
