The Well
A
Christian Inner Healing
Based on the biblical foundations of compassion, integrity
and dependence upon
God, the Well programme
proclaims the transforming power of Jesus Christ and His commitment to
heal
those struggling with all manner of personal or relational
brokenness.
What is The Well?
The Well
is an in-depth,
Christ-centred healing, and discipleship programme designed for members
of the
body of Christ to receive the transforming power of Jesus Christ into
broken,
sinful or wounded areas of their lives. The programme is a
vital tool for the
church as it reaches across denominations and cultures. It is
based on the Living Waters programme
established by
Desert Stream Ministries over 20 years ago and now in more
than 30 countries.
It has equipped church leaders around the world to minister
the gospel in all
its depth and power.
Who is The Well
for?
The Well
is for anyone: including
those in a place of “stuckness”, spiritual dryness,
apathy or resignation
related to one’s relationships; for those struggling to
forgive or receive
forgiveness for sins inflicted upon one’s soul or
for un-confessed sins; for
those feeling inner emptiness, sense of worthlessness,
rejection, self-hatred,
anxiety; for those dealing with questions about healthy sexuality
or issues of
gender identity; for those suffering from the consequences of
emotional,
physical, sexual, verbal abuse or racism; for those living
with addictive,
dependent behaviour in such areas as computer use, drugs,
food, alcohol,
sports, sex, TV, dating, work, pornography, gambling, etc.; and
for those
seeking personal healing from any issues which block healthy intimacy
with God.
How is The
Well presented?
The Well programme is
taught in a
closed group format. All leaders have been trained and a
confidentiality policy
is in place to help ensure trust and safety in the group. Each meeting
includes:
- Focusing our attention
and praise on God rather than on our problem.
- Teachings that are in line with the scriptures
and a detailed workbook to help move us from brokenness to maturity.
- Healing prayer in
large and small group settings where we invite the Holy Spirit to heal
our
various wounds. We bring our sins, and those committed against us, to
the Lord who is faithful to set us free.
A typical meeting starts with
Worship, followed
by teaching in a large group on one of the workbook topics, a short
break and
then a same-sex small group. We
expect
you to complete the homework, reading assignments, etc. as a
participant in the
full series. Our hope is that during the meetings the Lord
will do a deeper
healing work in you.
