Content
The “I AM” Prayer Ministry Training is a satellite event in conjuction with the John Paul II Healing Center. It is open exclusively to those who have previously participated either in a Divine Mercy retreat with us or a retreat with the JPII Healing Center and are members of a healing ministry (with a letter of recommendation).
Participants of the “I AM” Prayer Ministry Training will learn the essential skills to become competent facilitators of healing prayer, including “conference style” prayer (short times of facilitated prayer with a focus on sharing the knowledge of God’s love with an individual) and “in-depth” or “inner healing” (longer times of facilitated prayer with the focus on healing the deeper wounds of the heart).
The overall training will focus on gaining confidence in hearing from God, understanding the nature and effects of a wound, and becoming spiritually fortified to help bring the Gospel message of healing to a hurting world. As with all teachings at the JPII Healing Center, the “I AM” Prayer Ministry Training is grounded in Scripture, Church teachings, and the Sacred Tradition of the Church.

Recorded Sessions with Dr. Bob Schuchts & Bart Schuchts
