Cindy McFaden

Healing Prayer

Cindy first felt the call to prayer and intercession in 1985, when two African American prayer warriors trained her.

She learned from many prayer warriors, including four years at the World Prayer Center in Colorado Springs.

She and her husband were trained to administer inner healing and prayer counsel through Elijah House Ministries. For the past 20 years, they have helped many weary and broken people find wholeness and restored connection in relationships.

Cindy believes each person and business has a specific calling and purpose, something unique to each.

This, along with the prayers of her great-grandmother, grandparents, and a very special aunt, catapulted Daphne to desire to pray more.
