In today’s stressful world people are suffering in spirit, mind and body.  When Jesus came among us, He brought a vital ministry of healing.  But that ministry didn’t disappear when He ascended back into
heaven.  His Spirit remained with us and the healing He brings is very much available to us today.  In short, Jesus wants to personally heal each one of us.

    Matthew 9: 35-36
    35Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching
    the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36When he saw the
    crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.


We still are like the lost sheep without a shepherd, but even now Christ is calling us to come to Him and to become whole.  This healing message is just as relevant today as it was in the time of Christ.

As such, we are pleased to share that a group of committed Christians and churches are opening Christ Healing Center, a healing ministry centered here in San Antonio.  Our vision is to see people from all over the city come to wholeness, peace, and well being.  The mission of the center is:

To provide a safe place for people to receive God’s healing through Jesus Christ in Spirit, Mind and Body.

San Antonio has a special place in the heart of God.  There is a wonderful move of God’s Spirit underway here to bring Christians together to access the healing that is readily available through Jesus Christ.

Christ Healing Center is Christ-centered, Biblically-based and evangelistic.  It is a place where people from any walk of life can come to find the compassionate healing love of Jesus Christ.  The center will hold weekly healing services and regular healing events, as well as scheduling individual appointments for those that wish to receive healing prayer.  

We will provide trained, lay-driven prayer teams to pray and minister to those who are ill, in pain, fear or despair.  These teams will be trained in prayer skills, excellence, integrity and accountability to church leadership.  The center will also become a place for training clergy and laity in order to help them effectively administer healing and pastoral care in their churches.

Christ Healing Center seeks to be a bridge between the people of the city and the Christian Community, a resource for unity in God’s Church and a training center to bring the healing ministry back into churches.

We anticipate that many will come that may have no church home.  We will work with these individuals to make sure they find a place in the community of Christians by referring them to local congregations that partner with the center.

As this center comes to life we request your support.  More critically, we invite you to consider praying for us and for our work.  As you feel led, we welcome you to join upcoming training sessions and volunteer with our intercessory prayer teams.  

Also, we welcome financial contributions to the center in order to help us open the doors of Christ’s compassion to those hurting in the city.  The center is a missionary service to those that need the healing touch of our Lord, and as such we need the support faithful Christians.

Finally, we open our arms to you for prayer.  If you, or your family, struggle with pain in spirit, mind or body, we would be privileged to pray with you.

We believe that with your help, this center of healing will become a vibrant part of the work of God in San Antonio.
