Encounter School of Ministry is offering a two-day conference to teach and activate Christians to be more effective ministers of Jesus’ healing in the world. The event on Friday, Mar. 7, and Saturday, Mar. 8, at Greencreek Hall, 1062 Greencreek Road in Cottonwood, is sponsored by the Tri-Parish Community, which includes St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Cottonwood, Assumption in Ferdinand and St. Anthony’s in Greencreek.


Christian Welp, director of special projects for the Diocese of Boise and one of the organizers of the Encounter School of Ministry’s Boise Campus, explained that Jesus said believers will “lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mk 16:17-18).

“But what does that mean for me in my daily walk? What am I called to? That’s what this two-day event in Cottonwood will cover,” said Welp.

Conference sessions answer questions about the meaning of baptism in the Holy Spirit, the theology of healing, the role of faith and prayer, overcoming discouragement and understanding the power of your testimony for healing.

Two guest speakers from Encounter School of Ministry campuses in other states will lead the conference.


Dr. Kerry McMahon is a high-risk obstetrician at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Tacoma, dedicated to caring for women and babies with medical complications. She integrates her healing ministry into her work environment, harnessing the power of prayer. Before becoming a physician, she was an elementary school teacher for six years. An experienced retreat speaker, Kerry is passionate about mission work, teaching and speaking about the Heart of the Father for His children. She works with Encounter Ministries both nationally and locally as an instructor at the Seattle Campus.

Kerry co-founded and is the Director of Kingdom Medicine, a ministry that equips and empowers healthcare workers to be the face of Christ in the workplace. It is her heartfelt mission that every patient experiences the compassionate heart of Jesus through our healthcare system.


Brad Hubbard is the campus director for the Dallas Encounter School of Ministry. He is passionate about bringing healing and freedom through Jesus Christ to as many people as possible. Brad was born on the Feast of the Assumption of Mary and has a deep devotion to our Blessed Mother. Married for 29 years, he and his wife Cindy have two grown sons, Jacob and Joshua. They have lived in the Dallas area for 15 years, and Brad is hungry for more of the Holy Spirit to be unleashed in Texas and beyond.

The training, faithful to Catholic teaching, includes praise and worship, powerful teaching sessions and opportunities to pray for others and receive prayer for healing.

Registration for the two-day conference costs $75, but the 7 p.m. healing service on Saturday, Mar. 8, is free and open to the public.
