Healing Ministries

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Healing Teams are spiritual works of mercy that bring Jesus to others in their times of difficulty and grief

These teams work behind the scenes or with minimal interaction with another - usually periodic increments of several minutes to an hour or more, depending on the team and the situation.

Do you like helping but don’t know what you can do?
