Formerly NLI Canada, serving Eastern Europe for 30 years

“A new church for a new generation, for a new nation.”
The Heart of It
Eleviva exists to empower the local church in Europe, facilitating church planting, equipping local leaders, and connecting opportunities to resources, all toward one common goal: a continent transformed by the Gospel.
Growing leaders. Eleviva trains the next generation of church planters and strengthens the leaders already serving, subsidizing half the cost of each training conference so national leaders can be equipped and released.
Planting churches. In Giugliano, Italy, Vincenzo and Numa Abbate opened a youth centre where young people meet Jesus; from it grew Extreme Teens, a national youth evangelism ministry that has carried the Good News into school assemblies for more than 10,000 students, and a new church for a new generation.
Bringing hope where the need is greatest. Since the summer of 2022, Eleviva’s LIFE Centres in Poland have welcomed Ukrainian refugees with food, clothing, language instruction, friendship, and prayer, practical care carrying the love of Christ into a place of tremendous need.
