OUR STORY

A LITTLE ABOUT US

 WHERE WE STARTED

Bill and Hazel have a passion for God, knowing him as a good father, and Jesus as a friend to all. Their deepest desire is for others to experience this for themselves. They believe in relationship over religion. Bill and Hazel ordained as ministers with the International Association of Healing Rooms in 2006 and Hazel was also ordained with CMA of Canada in 2021. They have high value for family and enjoy spending as much time as they can with their three sons, their families, and extended family. 

​​​

WE HAVE SUMMARIZED THIS MINISTRY WITH THE PHRASE "THREE STREAMS-ONE RIVER" REFLECTED IN OUR LOGO.

Stream one was the launching of Open Door Healing Rooms in Powell River in 2006 in Partnership with the International Association of Healing Rooms which operates around the Globe. The focus was on an inward journey with the Holy Spirit pursuing healing of the body, inner healing of emotions and spiritual healing.

Steam two began to flow with the addition of the encounter centre in 2011 focusing on establishing a community centre. The upward journey within community include training and empowering believers from various backgrounds to hear Gods voice and discover their God given identity and spiritual gifts.

Stream three is an outward journey of paying it forward. It's about establishing more ways to bless the community of Powell River, Tla'Amin and Qathet with the love of God in tangible ways. Moving to our new location at 6816 Alberni St. provides and exciting opportunity for this to happen. Real people - Real Love. 

​​

ONE RIVER - 3 STREAMS

​The first stream is Healing Rooms which opened in Powell River 2006 . A movement  

re-launched by Cal Pierce who had a strong encounter with God in 1999. His vision was to see Healing Rooms in every city in the world to promote unity and healing. From humble beginnings Cal's vision spread quickly and now there are over 3200 Healing Rooms in over 50 Countries. We believe as our spirit, soul and bodies are healed it helps

bringing people into divine purpose.

​

As we grew, the second stream started to flow into the Encounter Center in 2011. We became a community centre that believes in the five aspects of ministry. EC is a hub offering a variety of activates to connect and unite community in the Powell River, Tla'Amin and regional areas. We have an expectation and see the fruit of God's grace to be destiny incubators. Creating a place of refreshing, encouragement, friendships, healing, learning , love and support.

Out of these two streams a third opened up. Ways to connect in the community, bringing our ingredient into the community and regionally. Real people, Real love , Real Jesus. We are relational in all we do, not religious.

       A message from Alf & Pam - In Support of Encounter Center 

       

         The Encounter Center is a unique ministry in that it works to reach out cross all                 borders to train and equip others to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. Their                   work demonstrates the Father's love to all those they reach with many testimonies

       of lives transformed. The work they do through EC, Healing Rooms and the Spirit             Cafe has brought the power and love of God to those who have never experienced               God's presence, and to those who have known it, but need encouragement.

 

      They have pioneered a work of walking in the power of the Holy Spirit for over 20             years in the Powell River area. Others have benefited from their teaching and                    example of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. These guys are the real              deal. They are not only a true work of the Holy Spirit but they demonstrate their                commitment to the whole people of God through their personal relationship with the          local church, their active participation as a Harvest Alliance Ministry as well as their        personal integrity and honour.
