How We Work

We review medical evidence regarding claims of healing through prayer from various ministries, applying rigorous methods of research to show the effects of proximal intercessory prayer in the resolution of conditions that would typically have a poor prognosis otherwise. We are also developing randomized and controlled clinical trials of healing prayer effects. Learn about our research protocol, our why and how you can get involved.
