Dearest Crusader friend, We really appreciate hearing from you and I feel that we have a very special prayer partnership with you. We will stay close to you and your loved ones in your times of need and celebrate with you in your times of joy. We are all members of the same family with God at its head and we follow the teaching of Christ so that we can grow ever closer to each other and ultimately, closer to God. I know from personal experience that things do not always go according to plan and we all experience difficulties from time to time. Yes, these issues might seem insoluble to us at the time but remember that there is always a divine solution to any problem! Through our mutual healing intercessions I am positive that we will see healing changes taking place. Just have faith and accept that when you ask us to intercede for you and your loved ones, we do pray straight away and then all problems come under divine control! As we unite in our special prayer partnership, all will be well. In fact I am confident that when you contact us again you will be sharing some testimonies to answered prayer. Perhaps you’d give us written permission to quote your testimonies? Of course we will only use your initials and your address will be kept confidential. Yours sincerely,

Your Testimonies What a remarkable change in her! “I asked you for prayer for my little great Granddaughter who is 2 yrs. old and had been suffering from swine flu and the effects of the ‘Tamiflu’ the doctors had given her. She was very poorly for about 15 days the day after I asked for prayer, what a remarkable change in her and now she is running and playing as if nothing were ever wrong, this happened almost straight after I received Brother Andrew’s reply I thank you all and I thank God. J. W.” – Email received 12/08/09 Transplant was a success! “Dear Brother Andrew, How are you and the family hope by the grace of God all is well. Just to let you know that my brother-in-law, A.'s kidney transplant was a success and still continue to make progress each day we thank the Lord. J. and E.'s daughter’s immigration case was also successful they are just now waiting for a month as the necessary papers are done. We thank the Lord. God bless you. Thanks again. From yours in Christ, G. S.” – Email received 23/09/09 The prayers and healing are definitely working! “Update on my Mother. I actually talked to her today, for a few minutes, they moved her out of intensive care today, it was so wonderful to hear her voice, even though she tired quickly. He said she's making slow but steady progress, with the odd hiccup, but she's definitely improving each day. Many thanks to The Healing Prayers Circle - the prayers and healing are definitely working! – D.” – Email received 01/09/09

In Memory of Our Friend Brother Conrad 3rd March 1933 – 14th September 2009
On September 14th 2009, Brother Conrad made his transition whilst resting peacefully at home with his wife Anne and his friend Breda. Conrad’s life adventure was expressed through The World Healing Crusade in prayer and service, writing and counselling. As brothers and sisters in Christ, the family of The World Healing Crusade join Conrad’s wife, his children and grandchildren and his sisters Margret and Glenys, in prayerful support, in this time of Divine Adjustment in their lives.
Brother Andrew, work colleagues and Prayer Partners celebrated Brother Conrad’s life during a special Memorial Service that was held in the Sanctuary of Divine Healing on Tuesday 15th September. This coincided with the Funeral Service that was taking place in Spain. We paid tribute to Conrad who was the son of the Crusade founder, Brother Mandus, and we thanked God for welcoming him home. Grieving is a natural process that we go through. Most of us have experienced it many times, though it doesn’t make it easier to deal with! We do believe in the life hereafter and ask God to send a comforter to help all dear ones in times of darkness. The pain will lessen as time marches on, though Conrad will never be forgotten! He lives on in the hearts and minds of those that knew him and we congratulate him on attaining eternal life with God. In this moment of reflection, with love and gratitude, greet Conrad as he continues expressing on the pathways of the Inner Life, with the words he loved ‘Always Hello.’ Siempre Hola!

PRAYER AND MEDICAL HEALING Brother Mandus Love is the essential quality for the wellbeing and progress of everyone. The inherent gifts of mankind are to think, imagine, have faith, pray, and express personality as best he can. But here we are confining ourselves to those qualities which can open for us a richer and fuller way of life where we are. The moment we consider the possibility of answered prayer the entire field of wellbeing and physical healing comes into perspective. Yet we are wise to consider this in relation to the great research, knowledge and skills that the medical profession has developed to help the sick. When some great discovery is made there is often a temptation to isolate it and proclaim the new way as exclusive to those who practise it. Although many people have been healed through spiritual principles and prayer, this does not justify the abandonment of all that man has discovered in his own right. God works through all mankind, and not least through doctors, nurses and others who minister to those who are ill. Let me quote the experience and vision of some eminent doctors. Many in the medical world know Dr. Alexis Carrel, Member of the Rockefeller Institute, Nobel Prize 1912, winner of the Nordhoff-Jung Medal for cancer research. Thousands of people have read his famous work, ‘Man the Unknown.’ Here a world-famous doctor repeats just what Jesus and His followers have been saying for centuries. He endorses the experience of all who work in the Ministry of Divine Healing, and I have come to the same conclusion in my own work. He emphasises the mental causes of disease, and the need to release them spiritually. He writes: "Thought can generate organic lesions. The instability of modern life, the ceaseless agitation, create states of consciousness which bring about nervous and organic disorders of the stomach and of the intestines, defective nutrition and the passage of intestinal microbes into the circulatory apparatus. Various kidney and bladder infections are the remote results of mental and moral imbalance. Such diseases are almost unknown in social groups where life is simpler, where anxiety is less constant. Likewise, those who keep the peace of their inner self in the midst of tumult are immune from nervous and organic disorders." ( ‘Prayer’ by Dr. Alexis Carrel is published in England by Hodder and Stoughton of London by whose kind permission this extract has been used.)

All In One Brother Andrew
“I and my Father are one.” You might think that it is a strange way to begin an article but I have been thinking about Jesus’ words that are quoted in John 10:30. I led a Divine Healing Service today using just that theme and the thoughts just flowed forth like ‘living waters.’ So I thought I would share the same theme with you in the hope that you too would be inspired. As a Christian I pray in the name of Jesus as you no doubt you do; the Bible tells us to do so. For those non Christians reading this article you might well take issue with such a manner of prayer, but hear me out please. When we speak of the Trinity, Christians refer to the oneness of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and I do not disagree with that line of thinking. Such unity implies that anyone that prays to God will be heard as He responds to all equally. You might say that some do not worship the same God because He is called by a different name but I would disagree, I think that God answers all prayers without favour. You will no doubt recall that David, Moses and Abraham amongst others prayed to ‘the God of the Jews.’ They didn’t pray in the name of Jesus and their prayers were heard! So prayer is a mighty force for good throughout all religions and it should bring us closer together rather than creating a schism. Lest we forget; Jesus was a Jew first and foremost and He prayed to God; He never said, worship me. I will not take issue with any non-Christian that prays to God because I believe that we are worshipping one and the same God. The God of ancient times, the God of the prophets and our God are one and the same. Yes, I accept that God’s son, Jesus was the Father made manifest in flesh. He was and is the living embodiment of the living God that is, was and will be. I was brought up within the Church of England, I was Christened and Confirmed in the Church; I attended Sunday school and I served in the choir and the Scouts. I have fond memories of my time within the Church but as I have matured in years, my mind has turned more to question ‘orthodox religion’ and I have become a ‘seeker of the truth.’

BE FREE STAY FREE FOR YOU AND FOR ME The most precious gift I have from God is His own relationship with me and with every other sacred person. God is my very own Heavenly Father and Mother, my own life which is the Holy Spirit and my own Christ. I love God’s relationship with me. I do so knowing that my Lord is with you as only He can be one with you. This personal relationship of our Creator with me is the only spiritual truth with which I can live forever. As I do so, I live the same truth for everyone else. I cannot place myself between you and my God. I cannot trespass into that place which belongs only to God in His oneness with you. My entire life experience has brought me to be more centred in God’s care for myself, and of course for you in your very own unique and Divine sonship or daughtership. You and I are wonderful indeed. We are each the beloved of the Almighty. My individuality, and no one can be me, is founded totally in God and by God. It is the fact and the essence of His care and protection. It is not the product of learning. It is not the result of dealing with life experiences opportunities and problems. It is not the result of my mental emotional capacities. My individuality is not a psychological or conceptual projection. It is an indestructible reality in the heart of God and the registration of God’s own eternal relationship with me, His own Son. I cannot nor will I try to put myself into the space or place belonging to God in His eternal care and love for you. My prayer simply is that we have this same understanding and respect for one another resulting in peace enlightenment and a marvellous unity as we evolve spiritually with all our family to whom we belong and of whom from God we are born
