Join Barbara O'Neill in a journey of healing
Healing the Mind
The mind is a sacred gift from God, and its well-being is crucial for a fulfilled life. Our mental health initiatives are inspired by the wisdom of Proverbs 17:22, recognizing a cheerful heart as good medicine. We provide resources and support for mental resilience and spiritual growth, integrating principles of positive psychology with the deep spiritual insights found in Scripture. Our programs are designed to foster a sense of peace, purpose, and connection, helping individuals to navigate life’s challenges with faith and hope.
Healing the Body
In accordance with health principles, we recognize the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. Our approach to physical well-being is grounded in the Creation Health principles, emphasizing nutrition, exercise, water, sunlight, temperance, air, rest, and trust in divine power. We advocate for a lifestyle that respects the body’s natural design, promoting healing and vitality through wholesome plant-based nutrition, regular physical activity, and adherence to God’s natural laws for health.
Healing the Soul
The soul’s health is central to our mission, reflecting the interconnectedness of spiritual well-being with overall health. Drawing from the healing narratives of Jesus and the restorative power of the Sabbath, we offer spiritual guidance and community support. Through prayer, study of the Scriptures, and fellowship, we aim to cultivate a deep, personal relationship with God for each individual. Our ministry seeks to provide a sanctuary of faith and healing, where the peace of Christ reigns in hearts, leading to true and lasting soul restoration
