He adds, “Hosting this event the week leading into Thanksgiving was important for us since we realize how overwhelming the holidays can be for the average person where feelings of alienation, anxiety, stress and depression can often emerge. The holidays are even more challenging when you factor in the physical, mental and financial hardships many incurred because of the pandemic that will be even more emotional for the many who will be forced to confront empty seats at their holiday tables because of loved ones lost from COVID. We timed the offering of our ‘Healing Is For Today’ event so that people are provided a positive spiritually holistic way to heal their minds, body and souls through the power of faith and God so they are prepared with a way to cope whatever stressors they are expecting this holiday season.

Eric George of Amityville, NY is a member of the Word of Life Church in Freeport who says he has found great physical restoration in attending services held at the Church through the help of Dr. Anastasi. “I had lower back pain after injuring my back from lifting weights in the gym where my pain level between one and 10 was around 9 at its worst. As someone working in construction, this was a problem,” he explains. “I prayed everyday for something to change but I never felt any better. One Sunday I visited Word of Life Church with my mom and went to the alter where Pastor Gaspar laid his hands on me and prayed for my back to be healed and by the time the prayer was over, I felt completely renewed physically. I know that without a shadow of the doubt that the power of God healed me that day and ever since then I have been able to work without feeling any more back pain.”
