Signs & Wonders Conference / John Wimber. 1985, 12 Sessions 

Wimber was one of the key leaders in the Vineyard movement. In addition to the lectures, this conference also featured “clinics” at the end of some sessions where spiritual gifts are demonstrated. Wayne Grudem dedicated his Systematic Theology to eight people; Wimber is one of them. The Videos can be found on Youtube, and the Syllabus (180 pages) is intriguing. For questions about healing, see this excerpt, “The 5-step Model for Healing Prayer” (30 minute video) and this two-page handout based on the model.
