Spiritual Bio

      We welcome all who are committed to the healing ministry of Jesus, and wish to share and learn from others. An Associate member of ACT is a person who prays for healing or wants to learn to pray for healing. As Associate members of ACT, we are led by the Spirit and contribute our prayer and various skills and gifts to support healthcare professionals and to encourage each other. When we meet by phone, conference calls and face to face at our annual conference we are joined together in the Body of Christ and invite his healing, wholeness and holiness into our lives. Then we take the heart and healing presence of Jesus out to the market place. We become Healers with the Heart of Jesus.

To God be the Glory!

  Who is involved in the Associates Specialty Group? 
 
Associates are involved in healing ministries. We are also students of Scripture, authors, consultants, academics, scientists, volunteers and witnesses of our lives in Christ.
We are drawn into ACT through speakers, conferences, books, and the desire to be in a spiritually sound environment that prompt prayer and growth.

Associates have served in almost every ACT Office including International Conference Chair, ACT President, and Regional Coordinator.

We meet face to face at ACT International Conferences and during the year electronically by e-mail, Skype, gotomeeting, linkedin, etc.

Through our ACT membership we have been stretched, fed, refreshed, inspired, encouraged, refined and healed.

Listen with the ear of your heart... 
 
Prologue of The Rule of Benedict (Joan Chittister)

It is a gentle, tender invitation,
this call to create within ourselves
a Monastery of the Heart.
It is the call to go down deep
into the self
in order to find there
the God
who urges us;
to come out of ourselves
to do the work of God,
to live in union with God
in the world around us.
It is not punitive, this call.
It is not demanding,
not harsh and unforgiving.
It is, instead, the daily guarantee
that, if we will only begin the journey
and stay the road—
listening to the voice of God
and responding to it
with all our gifts and goodness—
we will find that God stands waiting
to sustain us,
and support us,
and fulfill us
at every turn.
God is calling us lovingly always,
if we will only stop the noise within us
long enough to hear....
The Prologue to Benedict's Rule
demands of us
that we "Listen."
Listen to everything.
Because everything in life is important.
Listen with the heart:
with feeling for the other,
with feeling for the Word,
with feeling for the God
who feels for us.
Listen to the Word of God,
the Rule says,
"and faithfully put it into practice."
Most of all,
know that to seek God
is to find God.
In a Monastery of the Heart—
in the riches of the tradition it offers
and the treasures to which it leads,
and in company with others who are seeking, too—
find a loving spiritual guide
to encourage your journey,
to refresh your faith
when life is dry and dark,
when the days are long and draining,
when you are inclined to forget
that God is with us
for the taking.
Most of all, every day
start over again.
Remember that
life is for coming to see,
one day at a time,
what life and God
are really all about.
Life grows us more and more—
but only if we wrestle daily
with its ever-daily meaning for us.
God is calling us to more
than now—
and God is waiting
to bring us to it.
"Listen," the Rule says.
"If you hear God's voice today,
do not harden your hearts."
