the Journey

A Place of Healing?

Today is Tuesday. Reminds me of the meetings that we had just about every other week or so for two months straight for A Day to Make a Difference, back when we were planning the first one for 04-04 (by the way, the next one is 06-06 and the meetings will start again, soon).

One of those Tuesdays... I believe it was the final Tuesday meeting we had, two women came knocking on the office door about 5:30 pm...

"I need prayer," one of them mentioned. It was clear the friend had encouraged her to come. Then, "I heard I could find healing here..."

We welcome the women in, assured them that God must have something in mind for them because 1) it was after-hours and so there are usually not people there at that exact time (though we are open 24 hours a day, now), and 2) that we had just spoken the previous Sunday on the exact issue needing to be addressed for her...

Anyway. Not a long story here. Just a point. I want us to be a place of healing downtown. I do want their to be a reputation of hope, such that those who do not even "attend" our church are reached by the ministries and reputation and depth of it.

May God grant it and do it through us.

The Healing Project

This short film recounts the testimonies of three women from our church- all women that received healing for physical illnesses, as well as other emotional and spiritual hurts. In this video, they discuss the situation prior to the healing, what happened that brought about the deliverance and new-found freedom, and how life has been since then.

It is our hope that this post will help you ponder the goodness and grace of God, particularly as we trek through some of the healing passages in the Book of Mark over the next few weeks. Note that on Sunday, March 15, we will set aside time to pray for healing in the morning worship service for anyone who desires to receive such healing. You don't need to sign up beforehand; simply show up.
