BIO:

Sandi Cleary Ph.D. C.B.C. Founder and Director of Spiritual Renewal Ministries. Spiritual Renewal Ministries blossomed out of a vow Sandi Cleary made to God when she was dying from an allergic reaction to medication used to treat an as yet undiagnosed illness. Six months after her life was spared, she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. A week later she heard an evangelist give a message based on Luke 13:11, about the woman bent over with a crippling disease that Jesus healed. Sandi was touched to the very depths of her being with the thought that, if Jesus healed that woman, maybe He could heal her.

This began her journey into the Word of God, where she learned about the promises of healing for all who came to Jesus. Sandi was ultimately healed of MS when she learned to take God at His Word, and believe His promise for her healing, and to meet the conditions to have this promise fulfilled. Meeting the conditions was simply applying the Word of God to her life.

Sandi soon learned that by applying the principles contained in God’s Word, we can overcome any difficulty we encounter. She has dedicated her life to carry forth this message of hope After going through a ten-year Biblical study program, Sandi started SPIRITUAL RENEWAL MINISTRIES to meet the growing need for ministry to people who are dealing with life-interfering difficulties.
