SOZO PRAYER MINISTRY – Thursday, June 15
“Sozo” is a Greek word that means: to save, to heal, to restore, to set free. At our SOZO ministry, we help people walk through a process of connecting with God, which will uncover lies you may be believing, areas in your heart that need healing, people that you might need to forgive, unhealthy ties, and sins. This may sound intimidating or scary but just remember that God is a LOVING Father. He LOVES you and wants you to be free from these areas of pain. You will come away from this walking in a deeper level of God’s love and freedom than ever before! SOZO sessions take place on the third Thursday of the month. To schedule, or for more information, contact Ric Higgins here.
