Testimony of student who attended the July class of School of Healing Prayer^® Level I

"I was carrying so much 'baggage' when I arrived, then Judith came through the door. By the light in her eyes, it was as though Jesus had come into the room. Every day I saw the light of Jesus in her eyes, and in Francis, too, and I experienced so much inner healing. Every day I looked in the mirror, hoping to see that same light in my own eyes, but it was not there. Finally, this morning (the last day), I looked in the mirror and I did see that light in my eyes. Praise God, I am free."

Email from a second student

"Thanks to Christian Healing Ministries for being a vehicle of God's life–giving love. Words scarcely express the depth of my appreciation to many who prayed for my healing during the School of Healing Prayer Level I. Anxiety, depression, fear and doubt had taken root, squeezing out the ability to engage in life and live it abundantly. During prayer at the school my heart, having shut down due to early childhood traumas, was touched by the magnificent power of our Lord's kind generosity and brought back to life. Thanks be to God for sending us a Saviour who continues to redeem us daily, and thanks to the many who bring His love to heal the broken hearted."

From an email to Francis MacNutt

"Thank you so very much for sending the books I ordered from you on July 1, 2004. I received the two books yesterday, and spent the rest of the day and today reading The Prayer That Heals. God began an inner healing within me as I read this book. By the last chapter I was in tears as the healing power of Almighty God enveloped me. Past hurts came to light and the healing power of the Spirit of God took them away. I feel totally freed from those old hurts."

From Jennifer

"I came to CHM, desperate and in need of healing. The Lord healed me, within three days, of depression. Since then he has healed me of all anxiety and the physical pain that came with it. Praise God, Praise God, and thank you, CHM. P.S. He also healed my brother of alcoholism."

From Joao Dinis Joao, in training as a missionary with the Camboni Novitiate in Lusaka — Zambia, Africa

"I've read Francis MacNutt's book Healing. I really like the message and believe it with all my heart. I have the hepatitis B virus. By the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I believe I will be healed."

From our mail

"Thank you for your ministry. I went to CHM almost every Tuesday for two years. Because of your ministry I believe God is in control, I have peace that passes all understanding, I know God more intimately."

From Carol

"When I first came to CHM I was so broken. Now I praise the Lord that my health is improving each day. You gave me the love that was needed, the hope I had lost, and the prayers to heal and make me whole."

"Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits — who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases
(Psalm 103:2–3)."
