God has been forming a movement to help heal His people and bring them into intimacy with God using the gifts He passed on through the Holy Spirit since the day He ascended into Heaven. He wants people to understand the good news of a God who loves them, wants them healed, and to not just survive, but thrive. This movement of prayer through the centuries has taken many forms through many ministries, culminating in what we now call Healing Prayer. This movement is one that is world wide, where ministries provide Physical, Inner, Spiritual and Deliverance healing prayer through the power of the Holy Spirit.

As an extension of Jesus’ own healing ministry[1], of his continual abiding in prayer to discern and follow the will of the Father[2], and of his provision of the Holy Spirit to inspire and guide his followers[3], the Ministry believes:  

• Jesus is the source of all healing. He heals, we facilitate healing.  
• Jesus calls participants to be formed to “go and do likewise”[4]. He calls, we discern our call, and undergo formation/training to serve.  
• Jesus is the model of prayerful discernment of the Father’s will. All our efforts will be brought to prayer and discerned, with the help of our Spiritual Director, according to God’s will.  
• The Holy Spirit is the animator, guide, and inspiration of this Ministry. We place our efforts under His guidance.  
• The Bishop of the Diocese of Austin is our spiritual shepherd and we follow him in full obedience. 

The staff/ministers of the Mercy of God Prayer Center believe that prayer expresses and fulfills the soul’s deep need to be in relationship with God. Having experienced God's transforming presence and healing in our own lives, we seek to bring to others what we ourselves have received[5]: providing a listening, caring, and companioning presence to those who seek God’s healing through prayer.
