In 1998, Papa God asked, “Lois, do you want to go on an adventure?” And I asked Him, “what does that mean?” And the adventure began.
In November of 1998, I was asked to join the Elijah House training department Staff in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho where I mentored 60 national facilitated schools (These schools are taught by alumni in different states). In 2002, I became the Director of Training overseeing live and facilitated schools both in the US and International. By 2009, I had the privilege of mentoring 250 North American facilitators, who offered training and prayer ministry in their areas. During this time, I had the privilege to watch students and facilitators ‘catch’ how to pray for people as well as receive healing themselves. I love watching people connect the dots on how they've broken the law of God with the decisions in their heart which explains the difficulty in their relationships and areas of their lives.
In April, 2011, God asked me to move back to Minnesota to be part of the revival that is coming. He told me He would establish me in one location and I would offer prayer ministry, teaching Elijah House schools; training people “how to do prayer ministry” and mentor alumni. In 2012, I founded Healing Hearts; Changing Lives. I believe revival happens when broken relationships, wounded hearts are healed and changed. As hearts are healed, people start to change and relationships are restored, not only with people around them, but they also develop a deeper relationship with God. As people change and relationships start to change, other people notice and want to know how they can change as well. Then their relationship is changed and restored with God and others…and the reconciliation starts to happen.
I have the privilege of working with individuals, marriages, children, from many different denominations and many churches. In ministering to the wounded areas in a person’s life, I see lives change, habits change, relationships restored. As the wounds from childhood are healed people are able to grow up in areas they’ve been stuck in. They are truly able to “take off their old nature” and allow God to “put on their new man” (Ephesians 4:22-24).
" 21 ...if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness" (Ephesians 4: 21-25 NKJV).
