“Faith and healing: the role of healing ministry in missions.”
“Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.” – James 5:14-15
The Power of Healing in Mission Work
Healing ministry is a profound expression of God’s love and care, offering hope to those in physical and spiritual need. Rooted in James 5:14-15, this ministry combines prayer, faith, and practical medical care to bring wholeness to individuals and communities.
In the mission field, healing ministry breaks barriers, opens doors to the Gospel, and demonstrates Christ’s compassion in tangible ways. It’s more than meeting physical needs; it’s about restoring lives and pointing to the ultimate Healer, Jesus Christ.
