A Ministry of Healing, Freedom, and Wholeness
Wonderfully Free is a Christian inner healing ministry dedicated to helping people experience freedom from emotional wounds, spiritual barriers, and limiting beliefs.
We believe that true transformation happens through a personal encounter with God—where truth replaces lies, peace replaces anxiety, and identity is restored.
Our heart is to create a safe and compassionate space where individuals can explore healing at their own pace.

We exist to support individuals in:
- Discovering their identity in Christ
- Finding freedom from past experiences

Our journey to Christian inner healing prayer ministry
Many years ago, when we ran our first church Home Group, we used to finish the evening with us all eating pizza around our kitchen table. People would (eventually) go home, but invariably there’d be folk who requested extra prayer, and they’d stay behind. Often, the same issues cropped up week after week without being resolved. We felt we needed to be better equipped to help people deal with their issues and achieve a lasting breakthrough, which would later become our Christian inner healing ministry.
The first thing we decided to explore was Christian counselling. Having spent a year or so completing various modules we felt that, although excellent, as a stand-alone it wasn't quite what we were looking for. God had other plans and He wanted us to keep learning. Through various connections, we came across Dawna de Silva and Bethel Sozo UK. Right away we knew that the Bethel Sozo Christian healing prayer ministry was for us because it was fast, effective and got to the roots of issues. More importantly, it helped people to gain an understanding and connection with Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit.
That was in 2009. Within months we had started a team at our church, then known as Bath City Church, shortly after we were both asked to become Facilitators for the south-west of England and, sometime after, International Bethel Sozo Organisation trainers for both Basic and Advanced Sozo. In 2017 we launched the Sozo for Couples ministry at the Sozo Summit at Bethel in Redding CA.
We're now involved with Bethel Sozo and Christian inner healing ministry full time and have had the privilege of seeing thousands of people find freedom.
Sozo for Couples, Starting Out marriage preparation
Our passion for marriage and knowledge of Bethel Sozo has led to the creation of the Sozo for Couples ministry. This is shared with our friend Liz Gregg. That, in turn, resulted in our 'Starting Out' Marriage Preparation courses and the Starting Out manual, now used by many intending couples. Sozo for Couples includes an element of coaching, and we offer post-Sozo coaching, Coaching for Purpose. We also offer Financial Sozo and other Christian inner healing ministry, in the UK and overseas.
Understanding Inner Healing
We believe Inner Healing is a journey, it's a process towards becoming the man or woman God intends you to be and it's a subject not taught in the majority of churches. We now offer weekend retreats, usually for leaders, in which we unpack inner healing, for the delegates themselves and equip them to help others. Subjects covered include Working from Rest, Authenticity, Empathy/Sympathy, Finding Purpose, Trauma and how to approach this. Contact us for more details.
When we’re not travelling we live and work on the edge of Salisbury Plain, midway between Bath and Salisbury. Our son, Oli, is a professional drummer and lives about an hour away in Bristol (www.olidrums.co.uk). Darrell is a writer, keen twitcher and photographer, who loves books and reading. Both have a love of classic and vintage cars, having owned several over the years, as well as walking and travelling.
What do people say?
"I went for a SOZO to work through some dysfunctional mindsets that were holding me back.It’s amazing how, in the session, the Holy Spirit brought strategy and clarity to the root issues that caused these mindsets to start and also the events that then solidified and reinforced the resulting belief patterns.In my session, the key word was 'powerlessness'. This was something that had always debilitated me and manifested in a lack of planning, because I always felt that I had no control anyway, so why bother; a ‘let’s just see how things pan out’ attitude and a lack of motivation because I was powerless to actually change anything in my life. This had started as a child with parents who, although they were doing the best they could, would not even let me choose what clothes to wear, or what haircut I wanted or what shoes to wear on a walk! Looking back, I just did what I was told. Of course, this isn’t wrong in and of itself, but when it consistently removed power from me, it created a mindset.We invited Father, Son and Spirit to come in and help break the power of the lies I had partnered with, repented of any judgments on my part and received truth from God to replace the stinking thinking! I am now on the journey of creating new beliefs and habits that reflect that I am a powerful person who gets to partner with God in my own life and decisions, taking responsibility for outcomes and consequences, both positive and negative. God has a plan for my life and I get to partner with Him, being infused with His strength and power to live a life of purpose."James
