Isaiah 61:3-4

that have been devastated for generations.

Restorative Prayer
Oaks exists to equip the local church to be a rehabilitative community for the healing process. One of our services is Restorative Prayer: guided prayer sessions aiming to address the root of issues hindering personal connection with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
A Restorative Prayer session may last approximately 1.5 - 2 hours and is conducted by two team members. The restorative Prayer process may include asking God to highlight areas where you are believing something that is not true about his character or ways, where you might have first learned to believe this, releasing forgiveness toward those who were involved, repenting of your own sin in the situation, and asking God what truth he has for you instead. In short, our hope is to facilitate a time for people to experience God and his clarity, truth, and healing through prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit.
