Ministry Training Opportunity:
If you are interested in being a part of the Freedom Prayer
Ministry, or if you would like to learn more about this ministry please
contact the church office (479-
855-3748 extension 204).
Many people live lives of quiet
desperation, dominated by fears, hurts, failures, broken
relationships, addictions, and hopelessness.
Freedom Ministry would like to help by
making available an opportunity to seek God's healing for spiritual
& emotional wounds and other life dominating issues.
How Does it Work?
Our focus will be on connecting you with the Lord in such a way
that Biblical truths cease to be mere intellectual concepts and
become life transforming principles. Normally, a team of two
persons will minister, one leading the session and the other serving
as a prayer intercessor.
How Do I Get Started?
Contact the church office at (479) 855-3748 and
ask for extension 204. Leave your first name and
phone number in the voice mail box - not with the church
Receptionist. Someone from the ministry will contact you to
arrange for a time to meet. Sessions take place at the church
in a room set apart for this ministry. Confidentiality
concerning names and issues will be carefully observed.
How Much Does it Cost?
There are no charges for services rendered. However, should
you desire to show appreciation, you may make a contribution
to the church in an envelope with Freedom Ministry written on the
envelope.
