as they mourn the loss of their 28 year-old daughter, Elissa, who died tragically in an automobile accident on October 31, 2024. She was an incredibly talented young woman who loved serving others, capturing life through a camera lens and putting her faith into action, joining us on more than one excursion.
Impacting the world, one excursion at a time.
Endurance Leadership was launched as a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit with the goal of training and empowering leaders who will impact the world. Given the culture we live in today, many seek to simply satisfy their own needs.
We strive to inspire people to think beyond themselves, engaging in acts of servant leadership which is desperately needed around the globe.

“Although I have traveled around the world, this was my first volunteer service trip. I heard that in going to serve and bless others, you are sometimes served and blessed in return. That was exactly what happened! Stripping away the technology and busyness of our lives really opened up the reality of God in my life. The leadership of EL and the local community we worked with made for an amazing excursion.”

“The retreat at Ebenezer in Uruguay has been such a HUGE blessing to our family. You can sense the Lord’s presence amidst the beauty of nature there and it’s always a sweet, peaceful time of rest. All of the pampering and surprises from the teams are such a treat for us and the time to just be with the Lord and hear from His word through the speakers is invaluable. We are SO thankful for Endurance Leadership and their heart for Uruguay and love for us missionaries!”
