Even good soldiers might take 'bullets' and collapse in defeat or disgrace. In the same way, millions of men and women in our world have been injured in spiritual warfare and are now lying wounded on the field. They are thirsty for a refreshing stream, to take a drink from the living water. God is raising up 'medics'—healers who are equipped with compassion and grace. Wounded warriors need grace-driven stretcher bearers, healers, and cheerleaders who believe in restoration and healing and are committed to helping them rise to fight again. It's our desire for this book to do just that! It is our hope that as you read this book you will have an encounter with the Holy Spirit, our amazing Comforter. If you have untreated wounds, open your heart to our loving God as you think on these things, letting Him apply His healing ointment and sooth you with His love. He's waiting with open arms to welcome you home. May these letters be like a refreshing stream in that desert place.
