Wholeness Ministries
__Wholeness Ministries (WMII) seeks to minister and equip the body of Christ to restore broken and hurting hearts and to reconcile relationships. It provides training and ministry seminars that teach and impart keys of knowledge for the renewing of the mind, and to challenge our strongholds, to bring healing and freedom to the inner man, which results in total transformation.
Wholeness Ministries is a commission of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC). We desire to see churches become healing and safe communities where hurting people can be healed, and transformed, because believers are able to pray into the depths of peoples hearts. We embrace the "Elijah Task" based on the principles of Malachi 4:5-6 and Matthew 17:11, to call God's people to "restore the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers" and to "restore all things".

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks; foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers; but you shall be called the priests of the LORD; they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory you shall boast. Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy. For I the LORD love justice; I hate robbery and wrong; I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants in the midst of the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are an offspring the LORD has blessed. Isaiah 61: 1-9 |
