For the first two of days of our meetings,
250 pastors and leaders from nearly 30 mostly illegal denominations---including
Baptist,
Campus Crusade for Christ, Christian & Missionary Alliance, Methodist,
Presbyterian, Lutheran, Assembly of God, Pentecostal, and various local
denominations---came together for training in our Healing Encounter.
We have held Healing Encounters in many nations of the world, but never
have we seen such a response. Because of the move of the Holy Spirit
in the persecuted underground churches, miraculous healings have taken
place. But lacking systematic Scripture-based teaching on this type of
ministry, the pastors saw these things only sporadically.
When
in the Healing Encounter it was laid out for them line-by-line and
precept-by-precept from well over 200 references from
Scripture,
they were overjoyed. (For the complete
Syllabus of the teaching, please click here.) Eagerly
they applied the teaching about healing to one another in the training
sessions. Miraculous healings
took place.
One pastor came to the Encounter, his body weak because of
a heart problem that had also resulted in severe loss of his hearing.
After two other
pastors ministered to him, he testified with great excitement
before the delighted group that his heart pain was gone, his body
felt well,
and his hearing was restored! Like the disciples in the gospels,
the pastors at the Healing Encounter had been taught to “proclaim
the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” (Luke 9:1,2)

First,
our instructors teaches how Jesus and the early disciples
ministered to the sick with a detailed study of their miracles in
the gospels
and Acts. A pattern in their ministry is discerned. For the complete
Syllabus of the teaching, please click here.

Following the
pattern unearthed from their study of the Scriptures, they demonstrate
how the ministry of healing is performed
in the name of Christ. They are laying their hands upon a pastor who
was suffering from heart pain.

Afterwards
they asked the pastor how his heart feels. The pastor testifies that
the pain is gone. The Scripture is validated.

The
other instructor, a sister, ministers healing in Christ's name to
a lady pastor who has suffered from a chronically hoarse voice for
years.

Later in the meeting, the lady pastor testifies that
her voice has returned to normal.

Then
the instructor calls three pastors to minister to three others with
vision problems according the Scriptural teaching.

One pastor testifies that his vision has immediately
improved.
