Rapha International Christian Ministries
Rapha International Ministry is an independent, Pentecostal ministry. It was born from a vision to Dr. West to minister HEALING (RAPHA) to a hurting world. Rapha reaches out to the world by making disciples through education, training and counseling. Healthy Christians are more useful in serving God.
God gave us rules to live a healthy life (Ex 15:26). His will is for His children to be in health even as their soul prospers (3 Jn 2). Proverbs 4:20-22 states, “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh."
God, the Divine Physician, has laid out His holy medicine for all sicknesses and diseases known to man. Moreover, there are no harmful effects, no withdrawal symptoms and no overdosing. God’s medicine is the only medication known to man that promises and performs without any hazard.
