What is SOZO?
The Greek word ‘sozo’ means to save, deliver, make whole or restore, heal, be whole; and is used in some form over 100 times in the New Testament when Jesus heals someone, be it physically, emotionally or spiritually. SOZO is the ‘full package’ of salvation, healing and deliverance that Jesus came to give people! When you receive a SOZO, you can become whole and walk better in the destiny to which God has called you. If interested in scheduling a SOZO, please contact rose.gebhard@vineyardwestside.com.
