Administration for the Sick and Afflicted
The Simplest Healing Ceremony This is the most common form of healing worship — a culturally sensitive anointing and prayer offered for injuries, sickness, and physical illness, carried out with real personal love and empathy by whoever conducts it. James 5:14-16 is cited as its scriptural foundation: calling the elders to pray and anoint with […]
Adoption Ceremony
Overview This ceremony works to build genuine emotional bonds in both directions between adoptive parents and their new children — parents toward children, and children toward parents — through a shared act of purification. Unlike a birth, where parents already know their child from the start, adoption begins with real unknowns on both sides, and […]
Fertility Ceremony
Purpose This worship centers on prayer for couples who want children but, for whatever reason, haven’t been able to conceive.

Birthing Ceremony
Overview This is a blessing ceremony for a newborn, unfolding across five days. For the first four, the mother stays home with the child, and each day’s rite must be completely finished before the sun comes up — the point being that everyone present is acknowledging what Motsah the Lamb is doing for this baby […]
Safe Delivery Ceremony
Purpose This ceremony exists to help expectant parents seek out what the Lord wants and how He sees the new life on its way into the world — leaning on the languages of repentance and glory to get there. No two pregnancies call for the same kind of parenting; each one is its own fresh […]
