SOZO

 

SOZO is a ministry tool, developed by the Bethel Church in California, which the Town Church has adopted. The ministry derives its name from the Greek verb SOZO:

 

1(a):  to save (b): to heal (c): to deliver;

2: to save a suffering one, to make well, heal, to deliver from penalties of the Messianic judgment

 

It’s purpose is to help people learn to live in ‘wholeness’ and grow in their connection to the ‘Godhead’ (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). The focus of the ministry is to deal with the wounds and lies we have in our lives, which keep us from living life to the full in fellowship with God and one another.

 

We now have a team of people who are serving the church in this area of ministry. They all have had a SOZO themselves in addition to being trained in the ministry. Anyone can make an appointment for a personal SOZO session and it is something we would encourage everyone to consider. The process is very gentle with an emphasis on honouring the person. It does not focus on personal sin but on healing the wounds we have all received in life and replacing the lies we have unconsciously believed about God with Truth. 

 

If you would like a personal SOZO session please return the completed application form to the church office. We will then arrange an appointment with you. Ruth Burnham heads up the team, if you have any questions they or other members of the team will be very happy to talk with you.
