Healing Streams 2026: Global Expectations Rise as Pastor Chris Announces Final Edition
By Odita Sunday
The final 2026 edition of the Healing Streams Live Healing Services with Pastor Chris Oyakhilome will hold from October 23 to 25, with expectations mounting across nations for the three-day religious event.
Scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. daily (GMT+1), the programme is expected to bring together participants from different countries for prayers, worship, the teaching of God’s Word and testimonies of healing, according to the organisers.
The final edition of the year is expected to attract widespread participation as churches, ministries, volunteers and individuals intensify preparations to extend the programme’s reach to communities around the world.
Registration for the Healing Streams Live Healing Services is free and open to people worldwide through **healingstreams.org**. Registrants are encouraged to indicate whether they or their loved ones need healing to access preparatory faith classes, guidance and other materials ahead of the event.
The invitation extends beyond people seeking healing. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, convener of the programme, has emphasised the importance of God’s Word to everyone, presenting the event as an opportunity for people of different ages and backgrounds to hear the Christian message, strengthen their faith and participate in the services.
The October edition will be streamed live, with translations into multiple languages and major dialects to enable participation across different cultures and communities.
According to the organisers, Healing Centres are being established in towns, villages, hospitals, prisons, orphanages, neighbourhoods, homes and other locations to facilitate participation by individuals, families and groups.
The initiative is intended to broaden access to the programme and enable people to participate collectively, irrespective of their geographical location.
Speaking recently at the Global Communion Service, Pastor Chris called on Christians and ministers of the Gospel worldwide to mobilise for the forthcoming edition, expressing confidence in what he described as the manifestation of God’s healing power.
“It’s just a few more days; we will have the Healing Streams Live Healing Services, and it is going to be huge. By the power of the Holy Spirit, the healing graces of God, the Angels of God, will cover this world, and many will be healed; especially in this month of mercies,” he said.
The cleric stressed the importance of reaching people who consider the programme a source of hope, urging ministers and other Christian leaders to work together to expand its reach.
“We have to mobilize all that the Lord has given us authority to control and to influence. Get everyone ready for Healing Streams. We can change their world,” he said.
Pastor Chris also cited testimonies from previous editions while expressing expectations for the October programme, saying people of different ages could benefit from the services.
“This is something that will bring so much blessing to old and young alike. Think about babies, children who have never walked because of some debilitating disease. And during the Healing Streams, they will begin to walk. The deaf will hear, the dumb will speak, the blind will see; God’s going to change their world completely because of the Healing Streams. Even the dead will be raised,” he said.
He urged people to prepare for the event, adding: “I want you to look forward to Healing Streams, prepare for it, plan for it; because the glory of God will be made manifest around the world.”
These statements reflect the faith-based expectations expressed by the programme’s convener.
The organisers said previous editions of the Healing Streams had attracted numerous testimonies from participants who reported improvements in their health and other aspects of their lives.
The accounts, submitted by participants from different countries and backgrounds, have continued to feature prominently in publicity for subsequent editions.
The organisers say the testimonies have helped sustain interest in the programme and encouraged more people to participate in the global services.
As preparations intensify, participants from different countries have shared their expectations for the forthcoming programme.
Sakshi Telure from India expressed optimism about the October edition, encouraging people to share information about the event with friends and family.
“I’m filled with expectation for this edition of the Healing Streams Live Healing Services. I believe even more amazing things are going to happen this time, and I’m excited to share the news with everyone I know,” she said.
She added that she hoped participants seeking healing, restoration and breakthroughs would find encouragement through the programme.
Shabib from Nigeria said he was hoping for improvements in his health and finances, particularly relief from pain associated with a spinal injury, high blood pressure and persistent weakness.
“I’m expecting a miracle in my health and finances in this edition. I believe the pain I have suffered for many years due to a spinal injury will finally leave me permanently, along with the high blood pressure and weakness that have plagued me. My faith is high, and my expectation shall not be cut off,” he said.
Vanessa from Canada said she hoped the programme would reach people who had lost hope, adding that she expected participants to encounter the Christian message and experience what they regard as God’s healing power.
Steve from Germany also expressed optimism that the October edition would attract testimonies of healing, restoration and salvation from participants across different countries.
The organisers said preparations for the final edition were gathering momentum, with individuals and groups sharing information about the programme and encouraging prospective participants to register.
Activities include the establishment of Healing Centres, distribution of *Healing to the Nations* magazines and participation in a 24-hour prayer chain involving Christians around the world.
According to the organisers, the prayer initiative is intended to encourage intercession for people seeking healing and to strengthen spiritual preparation ahead of the event.
Churches, ministries, volunteers and other participants are also organising community outreaches, evangelism campaigns, prayer meetings and related activities to increase awareness of the programme.
As part of the preparations, the organisers have introduced *Road to Healing Streams Live Healing Services S18*, a special broadcast featuring activities and testimonies associated with preparations for the October edition.
The programme is scheduled to air daily on Healing Streams TV at 12 noon and 4 p.m. (GMT+1) until Thursday, October 22.
The broadcast features the activities of churches, ministries, organisations, volunteers and individuals involved in community outreach, prayer initiatives, Healing Centre mobilisation and other preparations for the global event.
It also showcases testimonies from participants who attribute reported improvements in their health and circumstances to their involvement in previous editions.
The organisers have highlighted several accounts from participants in the July edition as part of the publicity campaign for the forthcoming services. The accounts below reflect the experiences reported by the individuals or their families and have not been independently verified.
Marín reportedly experienced severe pain and limited mobility in his leg and spine for two years following an accident. According to his account, the pain disappeared and his mobility improved after he participated in the July Healing Streams services while Pastor Chris prayed for participants seeking healing.
Cheany reported that her son had spent 28 days on a ventilator after his right lung collapsed. She said she participated in the Healing Streams from his hospital bedside and laid hands on him while Pastor Chris prayed. She subsequently reported an improvement in her son’s condition.
Vanessa reportedly lived with type 2 diabetes for five years, alongside neuropathy, vision difficulties, and pain and swelling in her feet. Following her participation in the July programme, she said the burning sensation, tingling and swelling had subsided, enabling her to walk, sit and stand more comfortably.
Pauline Atu from Cross River State reportedly suffered from arthritis for a year, making walking, running, jumping, sitting and sleeping difficult because of pain. She said she experienced an improvement during the Healing Streams and could subsequently walk, run and jump more freely.
Adiel, a five-year-old boy, was reportedly unable to speak properly from birth. His mother took him to a Healing Streams Crusade Centre, believing that he would receive healing. According to the account shared by the organisers, the boy began speaking more clearly while Pastor Chris ministered to participants and subsequently improved his communication.
The accounts form part of the testimonies promoted by the organisers ahead of the October edition. Medical documentation would be needed to independently establish the nature and extent of the reported recoveries.
The three-day Healing Streams Live Healing Services will run from October 23 to 25, beginning at 2:00 p.m. daily (GMT+1).
The services will be streamed on Healing Streams TV, LoveWorld Networks and selected terrestrial television and radio stations worldwide, according to the organisers.
