Mark 16:17 : In my name, they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues.


As Virginia, Paula, and Oliver continued their leadership roles within their local church, they also discovered a new dimension to their ministry—the gift of healing. Their unwavering faith, combined with their commitment to serving others, brought about a profound experience of healing in their lives and the lives of those they encountered.

The journey into the realm of healing began when a member of their congregation, Sarah, shared her struggle with a debilitating illness. Her condition had stumped medical professionals, and her family had turned to the church for prayers and support. Virginia, Paula, and Oliver felt compelled to visit Sarah and offer their prayers.

During their visit, Virginia had a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit. As she prayed over Sarah, she felt a divine presence and received a revelation of healing. With a voice filled with authority, she spoke words of healing and restoration over Sarah, invoking God's power.

In the days that followed, Sarah's condition began to improve, and her symptoms gradually subsided. Her recovery was nothing short of miraculous, and her testimony became a testament to the power of faith and prayer.

The news of Sarah's healing spread within the church community, and others who were facing health challenges sought Virginia, Paula, and Oliver for prayer and healing. The family began to lay hands on the sick, offering fervent prayers, and witnessing more healings and miracles.

Their ministry of healing expanded to include not only physical ailments but also emotional and spiritual healing. They conducted special healing services within the church, inviting those in need of restoration and solace to receive prayer and support.

One evening, during a healing service, a man named Daniel approached Virginia, sharing his battle with addiction. Virginia, with the authority granted by the Holy Spirit, prayed over Daniel, invoking God's power to break the chains of addiction. In the following weeks, Daniel's life transformed as he found freedom from his struggles and a renewed sense of hope.

The family's gift of healing extended beyond their local church as well. They received requests from individuals across the country and even from other parts of the world who sought their prayers and healing touch.

Their ministry was marked by humility and the recognition that the gift of healing was not about them but a manifestation of God's love and grace. They remained dedicated to their primary mission—to point people toward the source of healing, hope, and transformation, which was their unwavering faith in God.

The family's journey into the realm of healing was a profound revelation of the power of belief, prayer, and the transformative potential of faith. Their ministry continued to impact the lives of those in need, offering healing, hope, and a path toward a life filled with God's love and grace.
