Busy? Phone-In Healing Service Aims to Please
In today’s world you can do just about anything over the phone. You can order food. You can pay your bills—and you can get your healing.
At least that’s the premise of an evangelism outreach in Seal Beach, California. If you are too busy to visit a church and have hands laid on you, two Seal Beach area ministries have your back.
Benjamin Altschul, pastor of Great Among The Nations, and Gwyn Vanghn, senior pastor of Faith Christian Assembly, are partnering on a March 20 event to let people phone in their prayer requests for healing—and they are expecting miracles.
Altschul says his ministry’s outreaches are generally well-accepted, but the phone-in healing is the most popular because it takes modern technology to a higher level. Apparently, these phone-in healing prayers are bearing fruit.
Altschul, a holocaust survivor-turned Christian pastor, claims “hundreds of miracles” over the years of the phone-in healing outreaches, including a crippled man who threw away his cane and walked strong and a bed-ridden woman who jumped up, got dressed and rushed to the church to testify of God’s healing power.
“The power of God’s word to heal and restore people can easily be delivered via the telephone line,” Altschul says, “because we all know that Jesus healed the sick, and Jesus continues to heal the sick.”
