Isaiah Forty is an international Christian ministry. We’re from many denominations, but what unites us is a deep love for guiding people to spiritual and emotional health. You’ll find us throughout North America counselling, teaching, praying, and coaching, all from the conviction that God offers healing and wholeness to people at all stages and conditions of life.
We see in the project of healing and wholeness the task of making disciples (cf. Matthew 28:20). But, on the basis of that same Christian commitment, Isaiah Forty offers services to people of any faith or none at all (cf. Matthew 5:14-16).
We see in our work the movement of the Holy Spirit. But it’s also made possible by many who see in Isaiah Forty the work of God and have decided to give their time and their money so that we might offer our services to those who can only afford very little.
These ongoing relationships of monthly donations and Ministry Partnership mean that these people might continue to find the healing and wholeness they need.
Isaiah Forty is led by our Board of Directors, our President, and our Executive Team.
Isaiah Forty was established in 1991 by Vina Sweetman, a woman of extraordinary prayer and with a gift for teaching people from all walks of life. At the time, it was little more than an extension of her existing ministry of counselling and teaching. But, under her leadership, Isaiah Forty started a counselling center in Montreal, which would become our base of operations, and began a circuit of conferences—many of which we continue to this day—leading people into healing and wholeness.
Since Vina went to be with the Lord in 2015, her legacy has grown. Today, Isaiah Forty is a diverse community of Christians from many denominations, united by a passion for guiding people toward spiritual and emotional health. Across North America, we counsel, teach, pray, and coach—always with the conviction that God offers healing and wholeness to people in every season of life.
