Shaftesbury Healing Café, new times in New Year…
From January, the Shaftesbury Healing Café will be changing from the first Friday in the month to the first Saturday in the month. Also, the opening hours will be chnging from the morning to the afternoon, 3:00pm to 5:00pm (team prayers will start at 2:00pm). Here are details for those serving on team and here are details for those wishing to attend for healing.
Team Page Resources…
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…
We run several WhatsApp groups in order to get the right information to the right people. This helps C4H to operate smoothly. Details about the WhatsApp groups and how you may join them can be found here.
If you are involved with HOTS Bath then we recommend that you join the C4H HOTS WhatsApp group as this will help to keep you abreast of arrangements as they are made.
If you are involved with any of the Healing Cafés then we recommend that you join the C4H Healing Café WhatsApp group as this will help to keep you abreast of arrangements as they are made.
‘Remote’ Prayer Requests…
The vision behind C4H is primarily for ‘hands on’ healing and our desire would always be to encourage people to attend the cafés in person where possible. However, before each Healing Café we receive several ‘remote’ requests for prayer from or on behalf of those who aren’t able to attend in person.
We try to minister into these whilst the café is running, if we have time, expecting the Holy Spirit to bring an encounter for the person right there and then, even if they are not physically in the room (just like the Syrophoenician woman’s Daughter of Mk.7:24-30, the centurion’s servant of Mt.8:5-13 and Lk.7:1-10, and the Capernaum official’s son of Jn.4:46–54). However, when the cafés are busy we find that we can’t always give sufficient attention to these ‘remote’ prayer requests so, we are looking for anyone who may like the opportunity to pray and minister into these requests. If this is you, please do let us know.
If someone is not able to attend a café or HOTS in person and would like us to pray for them during the time allocated please let us know the details.
New Healing Cafés…
Interest is still being shown in the possibility of starting healing cafés in additional locations in the south-west of England. Please pray.
- We are looking into opening a Healing Café in Chippenham (Wiiltshire), probably early in 2026.
- Edith and Graham Hardy are making plans to open a Healing Café in Dorchester (Dorset). In particular, please pray that the right venue will be found. Training still has to be arranged and provisional dates still have to be set. There is a planning meeting on Saturday, 22nd November, 2025, 2:00pm to 4:00pm. Anyone interested in being involved is invited to come along to meet with others, hear stories, understand vision and ask questions. The address is The Coach House, 7 Ladcock Green, Poundbury, DT1 3AU. You can park just around the corner, in Wadebridge Square (a one minute walk from the Coach House).
Prayer & Thanksgiving…
- Testimonies of some of the healings at the Bath and Melksham Healing Cafés can be found here.
- 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.
- Please also pray for those who are heading up various C4H activities. Their details 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.
- We think we now have someone with skills as a videographer who will help to curate CH4’s testimonies. Please pray that we will be able to do this well and with wisdom as we begin to get this aspect up and running.
- Work is underway to establish C4H as a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation). Please give this matter some prayerful consideration…
- The process of entering our information into the online form on the Charity Commission’s website is underway! Once submitted, we are advised that the Charity Commission will take about nine weeks to process our application.
- Please pray that the application will only have to be submitted once and that it is accepted and passed without incident.
- This necessary work will incur some expense. Anyone wishing to contribute may do so via our Donate page.
- Mugshots of our trustees can be found on our Charities page.
