PLAN TO ATTEND
The Rev. Nigel Mumford, Director of Healing Ministries
(www.christ-the-king-center.org)
The Reverend Nigel Mumford was born and educated in England.
He served for six and a half years in Her Majesty's Royal Marine Commandos and continued his education while in the armed forces. His last two years as a Marine were spent as a drill instructor at the Commando Training School.
In 2004, Fr. Nigel was called to direct the Healing Ministries of Christ the King Spiritual Life Center. He was ordained a Deacon in the Episcopal Church in June of 2005, and was ordained to the priesthood on December 17, 2005.
His personal mission statement is: 'As a drill instructor in Her Majesty's Royal Marine Commandos, it was my job to teach recruits to kill or be killed. It is now a privilege to teach people to heal and be healed. My primary calling is to put people in touch with Christ the Healer, the Lover of souls.'
Fr. Nigel's love for the healing ministry and his heart for the Lord are expressed in his words: 'Something always happens when we pray.' 'Everyone is healed, some are cured.' 'Take it to the tree.' 'We cannot nail ourselves to the cross; there will always be one nail left! Jesus died for us; we do not need to reenact the crucifixion.' 'Lord, unwrap the bandages and expose the healed me.' 'The healing ministry: the resurrection of the forgotten touch.' Post 9/11, regarding Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: 'The mind is witness to a catastrophic event. It cannot cope with what it has seen. The body reacts physically under duress. The heart gets scar tissue, and the soul weeps. It is a total body experience.' Be well, Amen
