Personal Ministry
Personal Ministry
For over 15 years we have offered physical, generational, emotional and spiritual healing prayer ministry to individuals on a by-appointment basis. Sessions range in length from ninety minutes to two hours. They are conducted one-on-one in one of several private, safe, comfortable environments, including our office at the church we attend. Depending upon the issues you are dealing with, we may ask that you return on a weekly basis for a period of time, and arrange a series of follow-up sessions at the conclusion of your first visit. Your first visit will be equal parts personal ministry and question-and-answer in an attempt to get to know you and get greater clarity on the issues you are facing.
Individual Appointments
For those desirous of personal prayer ministry we would like to conduct a short telephone interview to ascertain if we are a good fit for you, and vice versa. The next step is to download and fill out the pre-ministry Ministry Questionaire which you will find in the Downloads Section. Once you have filled out the Ministry Questionnaire, call our offices to arrange an appointment and bring it with you on your first visit. Since the Questionnaire has a great deal of very private detailed information in it, do not leave it lying about the house for family of friends to read.
As you are filling out the Ministry Questionnaire, be sure to take note of any dreams or visions you have, any memories that come up that you haven’t thought of in a long time, or anything else that seems different than usual, or out of your normal patterns. Be cognizant of any changes in emotions and feelings that accompany these memories and be sure to relate them to us during your first session.
If you have suffered severe trauma(s) or you are suffering with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) or if you are concerned that this is part of what you are dealing with, please bring this to our attention. We can help you.
We are listed/linked with a number of other major ministry web sites. If you found us through one of them, or were recommended to us by a specific ministry, we would appreciate you telling us which one, or how you found us.
It would also be helpful for us to know if you have received ministry previous to this request and what was dealt with.
If you are traveling a great distance, which many do, please make this known to us at the time you are making an appointment. If you are coming from afar, we would like to be able to schedule several sessions with you over a two or three day period, hence making the most of your time while you are with us.
As part of the initial process, you are asked to read and agree with the Personal Ministry Agreement.
Personal Prayer Ministry in Behalf of Churches (Western N. Carolina Only)
We fully understand how demanding life can be as a Pastor can be. And one of the most compelling burdens is to provide personal prayer ministry on a continuing basis for a member of your congregation while they work their way through a difficult issue. On occasion it can be helpful for them to be able to go to someone for help who is totally impartial and unconnected to their friends and family. It makes the process of divulging personal secrets less threatening to them and thus enhances their ability to effectively resolve the problem.As noted elsewhere in this website, our heart’s desire is to help you raise up a cadre of trained and experienced lay men and women to come along side you and help minister to those in your congregation, and the community at large, who are in need. Regardless of whether that is on your personal ministry radar at this time or not, we would like to offer our services to help you lighten the load.
We have a number of ways we can work together to help members of your congregation that meets your ministry objectives without fear that they’ll be drawn into another congregation, which may include; a monthly retainer guaranteeing a specified number of hours of ministry to your congregation; a set fee for ministering to your people; etc.
See the “Contact Us” Section of the website for contact information. We’ll be happy to meet with you to arrive at a plan that meets your ministry needs.
Financial Considerations
Neither we, nor members of our team, charge for our services. We work on a Love Offering basis only. This is how we live. By working on this basis, no one is excluded. Our desire is to pass along to you what God has graciously taught us, while acknowledging that there are expenses that cannot be avoided in doing so. Where there are significant transportation and living costs involved we would expect that in scheduling one or more training sessions that your church or ministry group would pick up those expenses. We do not mind staying in private homes, etc., anything that will save money is fine with us, so long as there is a minimal level of privacy available. (PS; We don’t do double beds anymore.)
