Equipping in the Healing Ministry…

In 2024, C4H launched an intensive mentoring scheme called Equipping in the Healing Ministry. Building on the momentum of this, we ran a second season which started in October 2024. We are now planning to run a third season, limited to 20 places, meeting fortnightly (roughly), for 10 sessions, starting on 18th September, 2025. More details and a registration form can be found here.

Team Page…

A number of helpful resources can be found on the team page of the C4H website (password is HOTS4075). These include: recordings of talks, C4H’s values for ministry; C4H’s Healing Café culture; HOTS training manuals; C4H’s Policies for Ministry; and C4H’s Data Privacy Policy.

WhatsApp Groups…

Catalyst4Healing runs several WhatsApp groups in order to get the right information to the right people. This helps C4H to operate smoothly. If you are involved with either of the Healing Cafés then we recommend that you join the C4H Healing Café group as this will help to keep you abreast of arrangements as they are made. Details about the WhatsApp groups and how you may join them can be found here.

Prayer & Thanksgiving…

• There is a C4H Intercessors WhatsApp group which is specifically for those who wish to intercede for C4H’s and Paul Skelton’s ministry. Details about how to join can be found here.
• Testimonies of some of the healings at the Bath and Melksham Healing Cafés can be found here.
• Thank you, Jesus, for raising up operational support for Paul as he leads C4H. Please pray as Paul seeks to delegate some of the tasks associated with running C4H and its activities. Please pray that the right people will be identified for the right tasks.
  • In particular we are seeking someone with skills as a videographer who will help to curate CH4’s testimonies.
  • Work is underway to establish C4H as a CIA (Charitable Incorporated Organisation). Please give this matter some prayerful consideration…
    • Proposed trustees are: Andrew Baddeley; John Firth; Muriel Wilkins (chair); Chris Wilson.
    • The trustees are working on the various documents required to support the application to the Charity Commission. As they put the necessary documentation together, please pray for wisdom and that they are able to find the right words as they work toward submitting the application during September.
    • Please pray that the trustees will only need to submit the application once and that it is all accepted and passed without incident.
    • This necessary work will incur some expense. Anyone wishing to contribute may do so via our Donate page.
• Please pray for those leading our various C4H activities:
  • Dawn Benda (Bath Healing Café)
  • Susan Kyle (Food Hygiene & Safety Advisor)
  • Susan Kyle (Coordinating our intercession)
  • Andy Ladhams (HOTS Bath)
  • Nancy Millard (Melksham Healing Café)
  • Iris Phillips (Shaftesbury Healing Café)
• Interest is still being shown in the possibility of starting healing cafés in additional locations in and around Bath.
  • Plans are being made to start a Healing Café in Shaftesbury. Shaftesbury Town Hall has been booked as the venue for the first three, 3rd October, 7th November and 5th December.
  • We are starting to look into opening a Healing Café in Chippenham, probably early in 2026.
