Are you in need of prayer for physical healing – chronic conditions, broken bones, pain, cancer? Encounter School of Ministry is hosting four upcoming healing services. We have an expectation and faith for Jesus to work physical healing miracles on these nights. The night will consist of a time of worship, Gospel presentation on healing, corporate prayer for healing, and individual prayer for healing. We encourage anyone in need of physical healing to come as well as anyone wanting to encounter manifestations of God’s presence. This is an open event – no cost or registration. Jesus still heals today and desires to demonstrate the truth of the Gospel through healing.
