Start a Healing Hub


Initial Stages
If you’re interested in starting an Acorn Christian Healing Hub, let’s start with a friendly conversation between you (and any team you already have), and Acorn, where we get to know eachother and decide if Coordinating an Acorn Christian Healing Hub is something you and we want to do. If you are ready to get started we will then chat with you about your chosen location/venue, Hub formats, team recruitement, and training. We will help you advertise your Christian Healing Hub and direct people to you if they are in need of prayer.

If you don’t want to coordinate a Healing Hub and want to join a current team, just let us know and we will go through similar stages. The best thing to do first is come to the Acorn Christian Healing Academy to get a taste of Acorn.

 

What Are the Requirements?

Reconciliation & Peacemaking

Everyone knows that sometimes people fall out and we find it especially difficult and disappointing when it happens within a church community, particularly so when others behave in a way that comes across as un-Christlike or plainly unchristian.

The challenge is that people in life are different and where difference occurs in any community, we face the possibility of conflict.  Acorn’s ministry of healing, includes the healing of relationships and the wounds that accompany conflict.

Using our Reflective Listening process, and reflecting on the shared story of all those involved, Acorn has worked with churches from various denominations to transform conflict into a place of grace and peace. Culminating in a gathered service of peace we have had the privilege of seeing churches begin to heal, hope and begin to journey together again.
 
Would you like to explore the possibility of Acorn’s reconciliation and peacemaking ministry within your church? If so, please get in touch for further information.

Acorn Listening Academy

The Acorn Listening Academy is an intensive one day program which will provide basic skills for listening well in both informal and formal settings. The Listening Academy will enable you to develop the skills you need to connect with others, bringing healing and wholeness into their lives. The Acorn Listening Academy runs in person. It can also be modified for a corporate setting or a small church setting. 

The day will explore:

  • Listening as a ministry

  • Deflective Listening

  • Reflective Listening and introduction to the Acorn Listening Model

  • Listening to Feelings

  • Listening to God

  • Full Acorn listening model 

  • Informal vs Formal listening 

  • Where we listen and the differences.

​It is a privilege to pray for you and those who are on your heart. We believe that God meets us at our point of need even when we are not physically together. Our team pray daily and are available to pray for those you let us know of. Please use the link to leave the names of those you'd like us to pray for.

Acorn Christian Healing Foundation exists to bring transformation through Christ’s love and care. Engaged in sharing the healing presence of Christ, it retains the vision of its founder, Bishop Morris Maddocks, in working, and praying, for health and wholeness in the Church, and in God’s world, through Healing, Listening and Reconciliation; Acorn equips and resources others to do the same.
