Knees, Bites, Stomachs, and More: Stories from the Healing Service

We serve a God who heals, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. As a church community, we witnessed many healings during our healing services. Read a few of the stories below:

"My granddaughter was with me. I had been having soreness in my knees. I went for prayer and have been pain free all week. I’m thankful for her to see that."

"I was bitten by a dog on my leg in September and have had ongoing pain. On Sunday, I had additional prayer and finally have relief from the pain." 

"I had been suffering with sharp and stabbing pain in my stomach for a week...had even seen a doctor and had scans, etc. Kai Thoni prayed for me, and as she prayed, my stomach started to spasm, not painfully, but those spasms were not in my control. When she was done praying, the pain was gone.I did feel it trying to come back a few days later, but I simply claimed my healing, and it left and has not returned!!! Praise the Lord!"

"We prayed for a woman named Terry, who was having a major complicated shoulder repair surgery on the Wednesday following the service. I was able to speak to her yesterday, and she reported that although there was even more damage than originally thought, the surgery was a success and she has had almost NO PAIN since the surgery! After such a huge surgery, that is a miracle, and an answer to prayer!" 

"We prayed in the sanctuary two days before the service. “We Speak Jesus” was prayed over every chair when we started the prayers. That was the same song brought forth for healing service. Amen! When we finished praying, we were hit with such a cold blast of air that we had to put our jackets on. Believe something had to leave in the presence of Jesus. Amen!"

"One woman we prayed for had problems with her hips and knees and had some less pain after we prayed for her. The following Sunday, she found me and shared that she has no pain in her hips now and her knees are much better!" 

"A woman experienced complete pain relief and return of range of motion in left knee with history known ACL tear and DJD. Amen!"

How God Is Changing Lives in India

Meet Suman John, one of the North Heights global workers who works with YWAM and has a very fruitful and transformative ministry among slum dwellers in Pune, India.

Her ministry provides schooling/tuition to 60 children, sewing/vocational skills training for young women at risk for childhood marriage and/or sex trafficking, and widow ministry (counseling, food provision, etc.) to widows who are rejected in Indian society/culture. She also provides medical services and help to the slum dwellers who have no other medical help.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, 10 young girls lost one or both of their parents to the disease. That put them directly in harm’s way to abuse, sex trafficking, homelessness, etc. Suman contacted a Christian facility that provides housing (hostel), education (schooling), food, etc. mostly for wealthy people who want their children to have a good education and future. She negotiated with the director of that facility to give an enormously discounted cost to take these 10 vulnerable girls and house/feed/educate them until they are 18 and out of harm’s way. It was an incredible opportunity to change the lives of these girls. However the cost was still very, very high by Indian Standards.

Various people and churches joined together to help provide the finances needed. But still there was a gap. North Heights Church stepped up and filled in that gap. North Heights provided the final finances needed to get those 10 girls into that safe hostel situation. The girls are now flourishing, learning, growing, and being discipled. They are so grateful that they are safe and being educated for a better/hopeful future.

Thank you to the North Heights congregation for participating in life-changing transformative Kingdom work! God is using you to change lives.
