AN ONLINE HEALING

EXPERIENCE: THE PRAY

MORE HEALING RETREAT

Healing is something we all need, whether

that’s healing from sin, from illness, from loss,

from abuse… God heals the brokenhearted

and binds up our wounds.

The Pray More Healing Retreat starts on

August 6th — that’s a little more than two

weeks away! Sign up here.

The Pray More Healing Retreat is a self-paced,

online retreat. It’s just like an in-person retreat

that you can experience at home — anywhere,

anytime.

They have six speakers for this retreat, and

altogether, 20 videos focused on healing, suf-

fering, and growing closer to God through

your circumstances. They also share study

guides for each talk and a transcript of each

talk if you’d rather read through those talks

instead of listening or watching them.

The speakers are Maura Preszler, Tim Gle-

mkowski, Amy Thomas, Gary Zimak, Bonnie

Engstrom, and Mario St. Francis Herrera.

Some of the retreat talks are about healing

from specific problems — things like anxiety

and worry, abuse, miscarriage, divorce, addic-

tion or sin.

Other talks are about God’s faithfulness in the

darkest of times.

Some are about what to do when you don’t

receive the healing you’ve been praying for

and working towards.

All things are possible with Christ, including

our healing — particularly the healing of our

hearts and souls.
