Mission Statement
Our goal is to minister to people and their families through prayer and education; to encourage them to "not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. and this will be health to their body, and nourishment to your bones." (Proverbs 3:7-8)
Our commitment is to use God's word to help guide people with illness to reach a harmonious balance of body, mind and spirit.
