•Foundations 1: Introduction to Healing Prayer

Monday evenings beginning Sept. 13 • 7pm • MPC

You are invited to participate in a 7-week course in healing prayer.

The first foundations course is a basic introduction to healing prayer taught by Francis and Judith MacNutt, and Judge Peter and Norma Dearing.

Topics studied will be:

•Why Jesus Came

•Physical Healing

•Forgiveness

•Emotional Healing

•Salvation

•The Power of the Holy Spirit

•The Faith & Courage to Pray for Healing

This course explains the Biblical foundation of healing prayer, defining in simple terms the mystery surrounding this often misunderstood ministry. Introduction to Healing Prayer will encourage those who want to be involved in healing prayer but do not know where to start. It will also answer questions most Christians ask who have not been exposed to healing prayer, questions that all of us have wondered at one point or another. This course is offered in video format, and includes a manual, with discussion questions for small group interaction.

Student manuals are $6.
