​

Teia is married to Carlos Martinez, and has three grown children and four grandchildren.

Sara has been a part of the team at Healing Hearts since 2015. She started out seeking ministry for herself, and received so much freedom that she didn’t want to leave! Sara was also part of the team that launched Arise Women’s Gathering in 2016. 

Sara has been a worship leader since she was a teen, and a pianist since she was a child. She loves to help musicians, worship leaders, and artists receive freedom. Sara and her husband own Music Greenhouse, a school of music and worship in Colorado Springs. She is also a homeschool mom.

Sara moved from Colorado Springs to the Houston area in 2021 with her husband Nick and their four amazing daughters. She loves organic gardening, kombucha, going to the beach, playing the piano, reading, and traveling.

Julia joined the Healing Hearts team in 2017 after receiving ministry herself.  Initially meeting Teia and her staff through the Arise Women's Gathering and serving on the Arise worship team, Julia joined a Deliverance Team until relocating permanently back to the Anchorage, Alaska area.

 

Owner and operator of Beacon Realty, Julia is strategically placed as a forward-thinking leader and top producer in the Alaska marketplace.  Passionate about partnering with Holy Spirit to bring freedom, Julia feels specifically called to those in leadership positions who feel they have nowhere they can turn to receive confidential and non-judgmental ministry.

 

Julia and her husband Austin love all that

Alaska has to offer, and can be found on the XC Ski trails or enjoying the outdoors with their three school-aged children.

Since 1978, Karla has been watching the Lord answer prayer in powerful ways.  After college, Karla joined the church prayer ministry and began learning more about Intercession, Inner Healing Prayer, and Deliverance.  Since 2007, she has been trained by a variety of Healing Prayer and Deliverance ministers in addition to facilitating the MacNutt School of Healing Prayer.  In 2017, she was introduced to Teia Martinez and the amazing group of people involved in Healing Hearts International Ministry.   Karla loves being outdoors and has worked as a computer programmer, a massage therapist, and in a variety of other jobs. 

Karla's passion is watching the Trinity show up to bring peace, healing, wholeness, restoration, and freedom to those who are wounded and weary.  They’ve tried it all, said it all, and consented to everything in their minds, but nothing seems to change. 

Craig Cooney says, “Life is often messy and we are complex creatures trying to navigate our way through it all.  Jesus always wades in and brings hope, healing, acceptance, and love." 

In Scripture, when Jairus' daughter dies, the messengers say to Jairus, "Why bother the teacher anymore?"  Ignoring the messengers, Jesus says, "Do not be afraid, just believe." Jesus knows He is about to get involved in the situation and He's got resurrection power in His back pocket.  When Jesus finally arrives at Jairus' house, one of the first things He does is clear the house. 

Let Jesus clear your house of all the lies and the pain and the spiritual attacks.  Jesus sees you and He wants to bring you back to abundant life.

Bruce has served Christ and his church all his adult life.  For almost 40 years, he has served as a children’s classroom teacher on Sundays, the church treasurer for the Board of Elders, and a trusted financial counselor for those in need.  He is a self-employed CPA, leads staff of ten, with a family atmosphere encouraging and supporting them and their families. 

Those who know Bruce would describe him as tender-hearted, prayerful, committed, bold, and passionate.  He has a compassionate heart for those who are beaten down or are struggling due to events beyond their control.  He has given his time, talent, and treasure to local and international ministries, especially to a ministry that serves orphans in Russia.

As he was studying deliverance he found out about Bill Sudduth. And six years ago attended the deliverance school with Bill and Sylvia Sudduth.  That gave him a foundation and formed how he prays.  He continued to look for ways to help people and in March of 2021, he was asked to join a deliverance team, and in 2022 he became the team lead for ministering with men.  In short, he has a desire to set people free.

Bruce and his wife Cathy have been married for 36 years and have 3 adult children and 4 grandchildren.  He loves being a grandfather playing with the kids, grilling for the family and putter outside with his tools and truck. 

Emily’s new life began in 2010 when she decided to stop trying to do things her way and surrendered her life to the Lord, so he could clean up the mess she made of it. Emily was connected to healing through ministry at HHIM in 2013 where her life was forever changed. After being healed, delivered, and set free Emily knew she had to tell the world about the wonderful goodness of God and about the power of the Holy Spirit to set them free too!

Emily is passionate about partnering with God to see people set free from the lies and oppression of the enemy and step into their authority as sons and daughters. She knows first-hand the transformative power of just one encounter with the Lord to change even the darkest of hearts!
