We are truly delighted to have Father Nigel Mumford as our speaker on January 22, 2017. We look forward to being inspired and educated by Nigel’s lecture, and open our minds and hearts to his message.
About Father Nigel Mumford:
Fr. Nigel W.D. Mumford is the founder of “By His Wounds, Inc.” a Christian healing ministry based in Virginia Beach. By His Wounds Ministry is committed to restoring the healing gifts of Jesus Christ to His Church, coming alongside all who are in need of His healing touch, in body, mind and spirit.For a full biography and current information on By His Wounds please visit: www.byhiswoundsministry.org
Fr. Nigel was born and educated in England. He served for six and a half years in Her Majesty’s Royal Marine Commandos; his last two years as a Marine were spent as a drill instructor at the Commando Training School. In 1980, he came to America and set up a picture framing business in Connecticut. In 1995, he sold his business and has since dedicated his life to the ministry of healing. He is the former director of the Healing Ministry at Christ the King Spiritual Life Center in Greenwich, New York, part of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany.
Called to Prayer:
Nigel’s conviction in prayer to affect healing came in 1989 when his sister, Julie Sheldon, a ballet dancer with the Royal Ballet in London, was healed by God through the late Canon Jim Glennon. This was a very dramatic healing of Dystonia, a severe neurological condition that curled her up into a fetal position and left her very close to death. Being a witness to her healing has had a profound effect on Fr. Nigel’s life, and in 2005, he started the Healing Ministry at Christ the King.
Healed By Prayer:
In October 2009, Fr. Nigel was hospitalized with H1N1, pneumonia and secondary pneumonia, and was near death. He was in a chemical induced coma for 19 days, after being put on a ventilator; he then was given a tracheotomy. After six weeks in Intensive Care and three weeks at a rehabilitation facility, Fr. Nigel was sent home to continue his recovery. His pulmonologist told him, “You were as close to death without dying that I have ever seen.”
Fr. Nigel was the object of a massive prayer effort that spanned the globe. He and his family give thanks and praise to all the intercessors who lifted him up in prayer, as he is alive and remains serving the Lord because of the efficacy of collective prayer. Thank you Jesus! Just over a year later, Fr. Nigel returned to traveling around the world, teaching and preaching the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
Fr. Nigel has been blessed with inspiration and encouragement from his father, the Reverend David Mumford; his uncle Alec McCowen, CBE. OBE.who is a renowned English actor; the late Reverend Canon Jim Glennon; Dr. Francis and Judith MacNutt, and the healing of his sister Julie Sheldon. These individuals, individually and collectively, have in their own ways led to the empowerment of Fr. Nigel’s ministry. He is deeply grateful to them all.
Outside the ministry, Fr. Nigel enjoys sailing, boating, gardening, writing, public speaking, e-biking, playing the violin, bagpipes, and the clarinet.
Fr. Nigel lives with his lovely wife, Lynn, and their adorable little dog in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
After Service:
Immediately after the church service we will have our We Love Our Fellowship Village Luncheon. Love donations will be accepted.
Proceeds from the luncheon will go to support the Veterans who are helped by the “By His Wounds Ministry” that Fr. Nigel Mumford so lovingly leads.
