The School of Healing Prayer at Hope in the Desert

Prayer is powerful. Our program is patterned after The Christian Healing Ministry (CHM) School of Healing Prayer in Jacksonville, Florida founded in 1980 by Francis and Judith MacNutt as they sought to advance our Lord’s ministry of healing through prayer.
