From ENS-
Although Jesus commanded his followers to go out and preach the kingdom and heal the sick (Luke 9:2), the Rev. Nigel Mumford wonders if the Episcopal Church has only gotten it half-right.
"The church has done a great job preaching the kingdom, but not a very good job of healing the sick. That's 50 percent of what the Lord told us to do," said Mumford, 57, director of healing ministries at Christ the King Spiritual Life Center in Greenwich, New York. "Why is it that we're not doing it?"
Healing prayer is such a strong evangelistic tool, he said. "If we would just do it, the church would grow. We would breathe new life into it, literally."
All it takes is six simple heartfelt words, according to Mumford, that can be offered by everyone, anywhere, wherever and whenever, and as often as possible: "How may I pray for you?"
