About Us
Lana Bateman
Founder & Director
our history
After a lifetime of emotional struggles, bad habit patterns and the inability to break free from a painful past, Lana prayed for God's direction. An active Christian, Bible teacher, working woman and mother, Lana knew there had to be a bridge between her emotional difficulties and the victorious Christian life.
On May 29, 1979, God in His mercy released Lana from mental turmoil through a very special day of prayer. After experiencing the results of this kind of ministry, it was her desire to share this, "wonderful peace and freedom" with all who would come...and come they have.
Philippian Ministries was established from the immediate stream of hurting Christians who came to Lana for prayer direction. Hundreds of men, women, married couples and families have been set free through Emotional Healing Prayer. Philippian Ministries has touched lives in countries around the world including New Zealand, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel.
our book
Philippian Ministries and Lana's book, Help for Hurting Hearts (previously titled God's Crippled Children), have opened new doors of hope and understanding for multitudes of suffering saints and have challenged the Body of Christ to respond to its walking wounded.
​
Lana's earnest desire is to see emotional healing ministries available throughout the United States and around the world. Currently, Lana travels several months out of the year, sharing her testimony, the Gospel and providing her book, at no cost, to all participants.
Most of the Philippians Ministries' audience speak different languages and are from many different religions.
God's Crippled Children is now titled Help for Hurting Hearts
