Healing Prayer Model for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
We will be doing this freedom training on Saturday, April 16 from 10AM - 2PM. There will be live worship, followed by testimonies, training on the prayer model and then equipping! The training concentrates on traumas of all kinds but really hits home with our wounded warriors. This is a great tool to have in your toolbelt.
