What are Healing Rooms?
Breakthrough Prayer Center is a Christ-centered ministry of people from many different Christian backgrounds and experiences. We come together in unity to pray for the sick with compassion and faith in Jesus Christ and His power to heal.
A team of caring, trained volunteers pray with the person coming for prayer for their specific need. The team members will be the first to tell you they have no special powers, but they do have a heart of love and a strong faith in God. Simply stated, they are acting as a conduit of God's love when they pray for people.
The 90-minute prayer sessions are held in the privacy of one of the prayer rooms. All sessions are confidential. Dress is casual.
History of Healing Rooms
Healing Rooms originally began in 1914, when Dr. John G. Lake taught on the subject of Divine Healing in a local church in Spokane, Washington. Dr. Lake rented a group of rooms in the Rookery Building that he converted into "Lake's Healing Rooms." He began to pray for the sick on a daily basis and so many came for prayer he had to train others to help. They were trained through "a series of lectures" on divine healing designed on faith and knowledge. They were trained daily by both teaching and hands-on practical application by using God's word. Today there are Healing Rooms around the world.
We are a ministry committed to serving the sick and oppressed through the ministry of God's Healing Word, the Power of His Presence and compassionate prayer. We believe that it is God's will for the sick to be healed set free and the power of Jesus is available to all who ask. If you are looking for a healing touch from God, we invite you to come and receive.
