“We at Hillside Church in Hillcrest have for approximately four years been holding a monthly healing event where anyone needing physical healing could freely receive prayer from members of our healing team. Over the years, through this ministry, many experienced the healing power of God’s love; some through instantaneous miracles, others improving over time as we prayed for them. We believe through our own experience that Jesus, our healer, continues to heal today as He did when He lived here on earth and we want to make that experience available to any in need, particularly in this challenging season of limited access to doctors and health care.”
