Welcome to The Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry Program
|
 |
|
The Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry program (HTSM) has provided Christian educational programming since 1997. This spiritual healing has spread throughout the United States, Europe, South Africa and the Caribbean for students who want to learn hands-on healing from a Judeo-Christian perspective. Its beginning roots are in the Healing Touch program begun by Janet Mentgen in the 1980s. But its deeper roots go back to the prayer, the laying-on of hands and anointing with oil modeled by Jesus as a major part of his ministry. Healing actually fell out of Christianity over 500 years ago but is beginning to be looked at anew as many people turn to complementary forms of healthcare.
Like the work of the early apostles and disciples, Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry is spreading to churches, hospitals, hospices, massage schools, and retreat centers throughout the U.S. The program’s unique contribution is to frame prayer, energetic healing and anointing with essential oils within a Christian tradition and to teach it in churches and spiritual settings of all denominations.
Our vision is to help restore healing to Christianity and to the world.

Spiritual Healing --How Can We Recover It in Our Churches Today?
|
|
|
If we look closely at the ministry of the Early Christians we find they continued the work that Jesus had taught them. That is, when anyone was sick, they prayed, laid on hands and anointed with healing oil all who were sick in body and mind-and they were healed. There are lessons in that for us today if we are to recover the work of Christian healing. Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry starts with the Laying-On of Hands and has the goal of helping churches reclaim healing as the work of the church. When we combine this with prayer and with anointing we put the person is the best light for healing to occur whether it is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual healing.
Prayer, touching and anointing became common practice among the early Christian healers. But what exactly is happening when we extend our hands in faith to heal others? And what happens when we use a therapeutic or medicinal grade essential oil on our hands as we touch one another in faith? The healing touch from our hands is enhanced through the healing of the oils. Are we the souce of this healing? God is the source of all healing--we are but the instruments and the oils enhance the healing itself.
