It was old-fashioned faith healing with a new twist: no promises, no proselytizing, no pressure for donations. Just simple prayer.

This past weekend’s Sunday Times included a front page article on one Seattle area healing room prayer focus.

I have friends (and people who have committed to pray for our church) who are part of the prayer team at other Healing Rooms locations, and I blogged here last year about a visit to a local prayer time.

We’re a church who believes in healing prayer – or rather in a God who heals in concert with prayer.

By far our two greatest experiences as a church in the 1.0 version of Mt. Si Vineyard were seeing Terry and Patty come to faith in Jesus and grow with us, and also Lori’s healing from a diagnosis of cancer (still cancer-free another year down the road).

We have also invited area people to training times we’ve sponsored for healing prayer (blog entry 1 and entry 2).

I hope that the Lord blesses us with effectiveness in this area. And I like the Healing Rooms’ approach to this prayer focus.
