Other voices of healing

When you start a conversation about healing you look for those other voices of healing.  Sometimes the answer comes to you as a gift.   That happened this weekend with the visit of Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr. to Wilmington churches to lead a conference.

The conference title was "God's Healing Power Through Worship & Music".  What we heard and experienced was a strong voice for "The Healing of the Nations".  You can check out his web site, http://www.healingofthenations.com/ , that describes his healing ministry.

Another gift were the hymns, "The Tree of Life" by K. Lee Scott to the tune Shades Mountain and "When True Healng Has Begun" by James A. Forbes, Jr. to the tune Hymn to Joy.

Thanks for those voices of shalom in this world of suffering,
