“We have heard the Go of the Gospel and are seeking daily to impact the world for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom.  God’s grace is freely given but so often not received because others do not know Him, so we feel compelled to take the message of God’s grace and mercy to others.  Through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, healing and transformation happens and allows us to be who we are called to be in His Kingdom!  No one should miss this grace (Hebrews 12: 15).

Our own lives have been dramatically changed through inner healing prayer that helped us find the stumbling blocks that were hindering us in our relationships and our personal journeys with the Lord.  Through the work of the Holy Spirit and trusted prayer facilitators we have found freedom from unhealed hurts, unmet needs, and unresolved issues.  We have given up lies we believed and wrong agreements we made to stand firmly in His Truth.  Healing and wholeness of families is especially on our hearts as we know what God has done for our own family through the years!  We desire all would experience this personal freedom to worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
