Elasha Ministries, “Doings of God,” is an entity that seeks to enable and promote ministry through the arts. This ministry was established out of an intense desire to facilitate change in hearts and minds under the direction of the Holy Spirit. A vision that was shared among Christian friends came to fruition through an inspiration to minister the word of God through the arts. Made unique by the young, energetic, creative minds – Elasha Ministry provides a channel for the expression of talents including visual arts, singing, producing, dancing, sign language, drama, promoting and producing gospel music and the use of instruments.
With this mission in mind, the Ultimate Spring Break Experience, “Elasha Spring Fest” was born.
