Order Of St. Luke

Empowering God’s people throughout the world
with Jesus’s healing ministry

The International Order of St. Luke the Physician (OSL) is an ecumenical organization dedicated to the Christian healing ministry.  OSL has members throughout the world. Members believe healing to be an essential part of the teaching and practice of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Members desire to bring back this teaching to its rightful place within the Church.

Members of the Order of St. Luke are clergy, health professionals, and lay people who feel called to make Jesus’s Ministry of Healing a regular part of their vocation. They believe that Christian Healing and competent medical care are not averse, but complement each other.

In addition to regular local activities a chapter can provide speakers to groups interested in the healing ministry, training for healing ministers, and leaders for healing services and visitations. We can also assist you in starting a healing prayer ministry at your church. There are 14 regions within OSL North America that are geographically divided throughout the United States and Canada.

OSL members believe…

• God’s desire for us is wholeness and health.

• God uses many avenues for healing (spiritual, medical, and social) and each should be supportive of the other.

• Healing was an important part of Christ’s ministry and is intended to be a part of His disciples’ work in every generation.

• Christian healing is accomplished through faith in Christ and through subjecting our entire life to the scrutiny and counsel of
God.

• God works through humans to do His healing. We must make ourselves fit and willing vessels.

• We must be supportive of one another in the various ways God chooses to heal – spiritually, emotionally, or physically.

• Jesus Christ lives today and He still possesses all power on earth as He does in heaven.

• The revival of Christian healing in churches today could be the means of the greatest advance of Christianity in this century.

The OSL prayer line is available 24 hours a day.  Leave a prayer request on the recording device and an OSL team member will pray for you for 30 days.  The telephone number is: 310 891-1383.

The official publication of the International Order of St. Luke the Physician, Sharing, is an interdenominational, international magazine of Christian healing, dedicated to the healing of body, soul, and spirit.
