Pat Banks worked for Bell telephone company as an executive trainer and later as an office manager for a Christian ministry in Colorado. They entered ministry full time in 2002 and are ordained through two ministry organizations. The origins of their personal ministry began about 35 years ago, while working full time, they became very frustrated while trying to help a number of young adult couples that they were in relationship with. It seemed that their limitations of skills and tools, along with their lack of training in their gifting allowed them only the ability to pick them up, dust them off, put on a band aide or two, then send them out for another dose of the same, only to have to do it all over again within a couple of months. This propelled them on to what has become a life long journey of learning and adding other healing tools to their belt. As they became better educated and more experienced, they began doing Inner Healing & Deliverance out of their home in an attempt to help those around them reach their full potential with God. What began as a couple of nights a week, quickly grew into both nights and weekends while working full time, eventually becoming a full time endeavor in 2002. In the succeeding years they have helped thousands of people finally bring an end to their personal and family suffering and find healing for the wounded and broken places in their lives. Many have found release from the trauma of rape, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and on occasion have been healed of some physical issue related to the trauma as well. Individual prayer ministry from them is available on an appointment basis in a comfortable, secure private setting in their local office. The Banks also do a great deal of training in the US and engage in personal ministry for missionaries around the world and have worked closely with several missions organizations. To arrange for a personal ministry session, or a one, two or three day intensive, you can contact them through their web site at www.houseofhealingministries.org or www.traumaprayer.com. Pat and Jim have four married children living all over the Eastern half of the US, and currently have six grandchildren.
