In late February, I was diagnosed with having a brain tumor that needed to be removed quickly. The tumor was life threatening and my eyesight had deteriorated. An operation was arranged for the 12^th of March because it would be life threatening if we waited for a Public Hospital bed.  Full Story ...

As a pre requisite for applying for residency, I had my health insurance converted from student health cover to international visitor cover. I had my medical check up for immigration purpose. The test discovered that I am diabetic and was advised medication which I started promptly. Full Story ...

In August, 2001, I was diagnosed with a large, malignant and aggressive tumor in my left breast.  This was removed surgically and no trace of cancer was found in subsequent tests.  To say I was surprised when, in February 2003, a small lump no bigger than a pea was diagnosed as malignant, is putting it mildly; and when a scan showed spots on my lungs it was hardly reassuring.

I gave my life to Jesus at the age of twelve, at a camp in Katoomba.  I told Jesus that I wanted to work for Him. Within two weeks of returning home from camp, my mother became ill and was sent to a private hospital in Sydney. Full Story ...

What a blessing it was last month to be able to go the “Inner Healing and Wholeness” weekend at the Healing Ministry Centre at Newtown.  It was like coming home to the Father’s House – coming home to my Anglican roots to heal. Full Story ...

Geoff

I was brought up a Christian, in the country, in a Catholic church.
Life, until about 4 years ago, had been easy for me. I came to Sydney after school, studied law, married my beautiful wife and had two great children.  Full Story ...

Tony

My journey with the Lord began approximately 20 years ago.  I was in St. Vincent Hospital with liver failure due to alcohol abuse.  I had just lost my job as a senior manager and my wife and two children had left me. Full Story ...

My family and I were called to walk through a deep dark valley in the second half of 2004. Towards the end of August while I was dressing for Church, I collapsed and had a seizure.  While I was still convulsing, but coming out of the seizure I was aware I was by myself with two closed doors between my husband and son who were watching the Olympic Games on the television.

I have been attending the teaching sessions at The Healing Ministry Centre (Golden Grove) in Newtown since 1993.  I would have to concur with the friend who said, "It's like sitting at the feet of Jesus" - I guess that's why people of all denominations attend. Full Story ...

The teaching from Canon Holbeck is about not just hearing and seeing what the Word of God says but applying it, walking it out. I need to keep hearing this so that it becomes more and more part of my life as it’s received into my spirit.

It never ceases to amaze me, what the Holy Spirit can reveal, as I sit under “the Word” when Canon Jim Holbeck is teaching.

I give thanks to God for the Healing Ministry Centre, the fellowship, and to Canon Jim Holbeck for so faithfully teaching us.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. To survive most MCS people literally withdraw from the world and although shattered and grieving, endeavour to rebuild and adjust away from pesticides, fragrances, plastics, petrol fumes etc. Some are alienated from non supportive family and are outcasts of Society.  Full Story ...

Dave

Back in 1997 Dave was hit by a car, and sustained very severe brain damage, he was the worst ten percent that actually lived. His parents were told soon after that accident that in fact he would not live and they would have to consider donating his organs. Full Story ...

Lynn

In 1989 family pressure was mounting, with four growing children. There was a wedding for my daughter, later her baby born 10 weeks premature, my son's engagement and subsequent wedding.  I did both wedding dresses, cakes and flowers for the church.

At the end, I found I had breast cancer. The teaching I had received came flooding back as the Doctor was talking to me. I immediately handed it all over to the Lord saying, "Lord this is all too much. I cannot cope with any more".  Full Story ...

Gwen

I first went to the Healing Service in 1976 and sat behind a pillar at the back of the Cathedral.  Canon Jim Glennon was speaking that night and his message was so relevant to my very real need at the time. I had a load of problems.  Divorce, loneliness, away from my family in the country, a financial need and a place to live.  Full Story ...

Lynette

Little did I know that when I came to the Healing Service in St. Andrew’s Cathedral for the first time over 12 years ago  that God would lay a foundation that night for a journey with Him that would lead to so much healing of my spirit, soul and body. I had a Chronic Illness, an auto-immune disease called Lupus.  The healing process has been one of three steps forward and two steps back, but the more I learnt of God’s love, mercy, forgiveness and grace through the programs at the Healing Ministry Centre in Newtown and the St. Andrew’s Cathedral Healing Services, the more I was able to trust Jesus.  Not only did I experience what He is able to do, but a deep intimacy in our relationship developed and is still growing.  For the last two years my blood test results have been perfect. The touch of Jesus makes all the difference.

Joy

Many years ago my Minister suggested that I attend an Inner Healing and Wholeness weekend to learn more about the core teaching so that I could become involved in pastoral work in the parish.

I had to wear a surgical collar and sometimes a body brace (as a result of an accident which ruptured discs in my neck.)  Full Story ...
