Theosophic Prayer Ministries
"Theo (God) Phostic (light) is a prayer ministry that is Christ centered and God reliant for its direction and outcome. IT IS NOT RECOVERED MEMORY THERAPY (RMT). Simply stated, it is encouraging a person to discover and expose what he believes that is falsehood and then leading him to the feet of Jesus through prayer and allowing the Lord to reveal His truth to the wounded person’s heart and mind."
