This is only a very basic outline. For fuller details see the International Healing Rooms website.
The following procedure should also be worked through in communication with the National Directors, Steven and Helen Anderson.
- Attend a training course run by the National or Regional Directors. This could be in Glasgow or be by inviting them to your area.
- Apply to become a director(s): possibly two people, maybe husband and wife. In this process you need to fill in an application form (one each), supply a reference from a Church leader, and set up a local Board of Advisors. Possibly 3-4 local church leaders, intercessors, mature Christians who are supportive of the ministry. They only need meet with you once or twice a year.
- Host/run a local training course (unless covered under number 1 above).
- Make application forms available for potential volunteers (our office can supply you with these).
- Find a suitable venue: could be a church, a shop front or similar.
- Collect application forms, send for pastoral references. Once received conduct interviews.
- Set opening hours (don’t overstretch, start maybe 2 hours per week and build up) and date for starting (don’t rush forward too quickly).
- Hold prayer times to open “well of healing”. Establish intercessory prayer support.
- Publicise opening of rooms in churches and community.
- Open rooms.
Training Course Information
If you are running or plan to run a local course then please be aware of the following costs:
- Charge for delegates attending a training course: £20 ( £15 concession)
If someone is coming to a training course for a second time then this charge can be waived. - Cost of room hire, fliers and any other expenses eg tea / coffee will be your responsibility (cost can be covered from the money taken on the day). Templates of fliers/posters are available from the Healing Rooms office.
