The passage that best summarizes this track is Isaiah 61, which in summary says that the Holy Spirit is going to heal the broken hearted and set the captives free individually, corporately, and generationally. This is a tremendous promise for Christians and our churches yet it has been badly neglected and needs to be restored. Inner healing, also known as emotional healing or soul care is a crucial part of what we do. Jesus actually quoted this scripture when He was inaugurated (Luke 4) and established it as a core focus for His life and legacy.

The care and cure of souls has been the job of godly people from the time of the Exodus. Moses received the word from God that he must teach the Israelites how to live so they would get “None of the Egyptians’ diseases”. The priests were the first community health officers in the Bible and we have inherited that mantle. Jesus, the Great Physician, gave us marching orders to go and make disciples to do everything He did. Our approach is not to equip a few inner healing specialists who touch only a small percentage of those who need the love and power of God. Rather, we follow Ephesians 4:11 that calls us to equip all of God’s people to do the ministry of healing, nurture, and growth.

Our goal is to train mature Christians how to raise up families, churches, and small groups that live together in ways that become ongoing healing & growth communities. We have seen such communities develop and thrive in congregations, psychiatric hospitals and small groups and hope God will allow us to multiply them all over the earth. This is most powerfully accomplished by equipping believers how to continually live in the love, truth and power of God from day to day.
