Balm of Gilead

Balm of Gilead Health Ministry exists, by the grace of God, to:

• Empower Christians to regain and maintain their God-given health potential by breaking off a lifetime of unwholesome dietary and lifestyle habits and thought patterns.
• Minister to the sick in our local churches and abroad through administering prayer, laying on of hands and anointing with essential oils in the name of the Lord (in obedience to James 5:14) and rendering such practical helps as are appropriate to help the sick recover and regain their health.
• Train Christian pastoral staff/caregivers to care for those who are sick using the aforementioned Biblically-endorsed natural health principles/precepts.
• Glorify God by publishing testimonials of Christians who have received healing or positive improvements in health as a result of our ministry.
• Teach Christians how to grow their own food and herbs the organic way whenever they find a piece of land God has blessed  them with, in accordance with Jeremiah 29:5, and in view of the importance of food and herbs to health.
