Healing Starts with the Heart

Life’s wounds can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, and unable to fully step into the life God has for us. But healing is possible.

 

At Elijah House, we believe that true healing happens when God meets us in the deepest places of our hearts. For over 50 years, we’ve walked alongside individuals seeking healing, offering biblical teaching, pastoral counseling, and faith-based resources to help them experience peace, wholeness, and restoration.

 

Whether you're searching for personal healing or looking for biblical principles to support others, Elijah House provides the tools and guidance to help you grow in faith and step into the freedom God intends for you.

A Legacy of Healing

Elijah House began in 1973, when John and Paula Sandford answered God’s call to help people find healing through biblical principles and heart restoration. What started in a small town in Idaho has grown into a global ministry, bringing hope and healing to individuals, families, and communities around the world.

 

For over five decades, Elijah House has helped hundreds of thousands of people experience God’s healing touch. We believe that healed people help heal people. When one person experiences heart healing, it ripples outward—impacting families, relationships, and entire communities.

 

Today, our mission remains the same:

  • To bring healing to the brokenhearted.
  • To equip people with biblical tools for heart healing.
  • To restore hope, peace, and identity through God’s love.
