The Rev. Nigel Mumford will be conducting a two-evening healing mission on Monday, November 14, and Tuesday, November 15, 2016, to be held at the Glennon House, 377 E. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park, Florida.

His topics for teaching are “Wounded Souls” and “Healing the Image of God.”

Father Mumford is an international speaker, author, and founder of By His Wounds Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focusing on Christian healing. Nigel is also priest associate at Galilee Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Nigel was born and educated in England. He served for six-and-a-half years in Her Majesty’s Royal Marine Commandos and continued his education while in the armed forces. His last two years as a Marine were spent as a drill instructor at the Commando Training School (CTCRM).

Nigel has been involved in healing ministry for over 25 years. His conviction to pray for 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. Hers was a very dramatic healing from a disease called dystonia, and witnessing her healing had a profound effect on Nigel’s life.

In 2007, Nigel and two other retired military men created The Welcome Home Initiative (WHI), a program of healing for veterans. This program invites men and women of our armed forces (from all wars) who have served in combat to come free of charge and be welcomed home. The focus is on healing from post-traumatic stress and moral injury. More information on this program can be found at our website: www.byhiswoundsministry.org.

Nigel is a chaplain and a previous board member for North American International Order of St. Luke.

He is privileged to be a Paul Harris Fellow from Rotary International and was a recipient of The Wittnauer Humanitarian award in New York City in 1995.

In October 2009, Nigel was near death due to contracting H1N1/Swine Flu. He was hospitalized and in a chemical-induced coma for 19 days before doctors were able to perform a tracheotomy and wean him off the ventilator. The pulmonologist told him, “You were as close to death without dying that I have ever seen.” He is alive because of prayer.

Outside of ministry, Nigel enjoys boating, swimming, writing, and playing the violin. He and his wife, Lynn, live in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
