Companionship with those we meet along the way
We value:
- Meeting people on behalf of Church’s Ministry of Healing, standing alongside people in prayer, offering people the opportunity to feel they have been heard – when I know I have been heard by you I can believe God has heard me too. God reaches out to us through one another.
- Fostering relationship with God, giving people the opportunity to engage in dialogue to explore that relationship.
- The opportunities presented.
- The dignity and the vulnerability of each human being.
- The image of God in each person.
We wish to develop:
- Leading people into quiet spaces where they may more readily engage with God.
- ‘Perfect Love casts out fear’. There is a lot of fear and anxiety in society. There are ways in healer prayer to help to alleviate fear, we wish to help people discover various forms of prayer and thereby deepen their experience of God.
- ‘Healing has the potential of the eternal’. How can we help people to connect with this for themselves, and in doing so discover their true selves?
- Trust, Love, Understanding, Respect, and the ability to see and use opportunities for Gods work here on earth.
- Listening and been heard and a greater sensitivity to peoples vulnerability.
