MEET THE FOUNDER: ROSEMARY PHILLIPS
I was brought up in a Christian family in South London, England, and gave my life to the Lord as a child. Until the age of 15 I spent almost half of my life in bed sick and during this time, Jesus became my best friend. At the age of 18 I was asked: if finance were not an issue, what would you do with the rest of your life? I answered without reserve that I would go and tell people about Jesus. I spent most of the next 15 years doing just that, living and working in 11 countries across East and West Europe and North and South America, firstly working on the staff of three churches in Switzerland, and then joining Billy Graham’s international team. I also spent two years working in Marketing for a design company in Manhattan.
In 1990 the Lord started showing me the pain carried by many within the Church. I met Francis MacNutt in 1995 and over the next five years spent many months receiving training and working with Francis’ ministry, Christian Healing Ministries, both in the US and Europe. It was working alongside Francis and his team that I saw first-hand the healing power of God at work in everyone they prayed for and I experienced a radical healing in my own life. I also saw that as God created us as emotional, physical and spiritual beings, so these areas are interrelated when needing His healing touch. At this point I sensed the Lord saying: “entrust (the things you have heard) to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.” (2 Tim 2:2)
I sensed the Lord calling me to equip the Church to be as Acts 4:29-30, to be a community allowing God to bring His life and healing emotionally, physically and spiritually, and through it that He may receive the glory. In 2000 Lazarus Healing Trust was birthed in England to fulfil that vision.
