Holy Spirit Filled
We are a group of Holy Spirit filled, Bible believing followers of Jesus who pray for people in need of physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
Our ministry team members come from a variety of Christian backgrounds across Bendigo and Central Victoria.
We minister the love and healing power of Jesus to each person according to Mark 16:17-18.
“These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons, they will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover.”
MINISTRY MODEL
We focus on the presence of God & teams of two or three people are led by the Holy Spirit to heal the sick and introduce people to Jesus.
HISTORY
The first Healing Rooms were established by John G Lake in Spokane, Washington USA in 1915 – 1920. He is regarded as one of the key figures used by God in the resurgence of Healing Ministry in the past century. Lake trained local believers in the healing ministry & in the next 5 years it is estimated that 100,000 healings occurred. The ministry has rarely been equalled in the history of the church.
Cal & Michelle Pierce reopened the Healing Rooms in Spokane in 1999 & immediately miraculous healings started happening, with people coming from all over the USA. Today they are International Directors with over 3,000 Healing Rooms in around 70 countries.
The Australian Healing Rooms were launched in Brisbane in 2003 by John & Merilyn Edwards, who were National Directors until December 2021. Martyn & Ros Ritchard were then appointed as Australian National Directors in 2022. From this place, Healing Rooms Apostolic Centre was birthed with Ross and Arlene McIntyre, as directors. They oversee several Healing Room centres in the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
In April 2023 Bendigo Healing Rooms was birthed under the oversight of Ross and Arlene McIntyre. Helen Harris and Diane Clarke, along with a great team, head up the Bendigo Centre.
