RONAN — After being closed for two months, the Healing Rooms of the Mission Valley will re-open Friday, Feb. 15, at 22 Second Ave. SW in Ronan. Hours are from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Look for the folding sidewalk sign in the middle of the block each Friday announcing the healing rooms are open.
No appointment is needed and there is not charge. All encounters are completely private and confidential in a comfortable setting, with two or three prayer volunteers in the room. The sessions are usually about 15 minutes, but sometimes a bit longer. Everyone is welcome. The healing rooms opened here in the valley in July 2007 and has ministered to over 300 people in over 600 private prayer encounters.
Trained Christian volunteers freely administer the healing power of God’s Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying-on of hands. The men and women who volunteer for this non-denominational ministry are just ordinary Christians, your friends and neighbors who live and work here in the valley. There are 1,007 healing rooms locations throughout the world. Their belief is based on the many promises in the Bible that healing and divine health are promises of God as fulfilled by Christ’s life and his ministry. For example, Matthew 8:17 says, “He himself took our infirmities and took away our diseases”.
In the early 1900s, John G. Lake returned to Spokane from being a missionary in Africa where he saw many sick healed. He started the healing rooms and over a five-year period of time, there were over 1,000,000 documented healings. At that time, the US government declared Spokane to be the healthiest city in the world. John G. Lake passed on in 1935. In 1997, Cal and Michelle Pierce, just ordinary Christians, were inspired to move to Spokane, a city they had never visited, and re-establish the healing rooms ministry.
