About Us - Healing for the Soul Ministries

Minister Judy P. Linton is an anointed woman of God who received the call of God at an early age. This led her into the area of Youth Ministry where she faithfully served as Youth President, Youth Advisor, a member of the District Youth Council and Brooklyn Zone Youth Coordinator for the Metro New York District Church of the Nazarene.

With a passion for reaching the lost, Minister Linton accepted the position of Director of Evangelism at Beulah and during her tenure the church experienced spiritual and numerical growth.

Through “Unwrapping Your Gifts”, a seminar she developed to help believers discern their specific giftings, new members were equipped with the necessary tools and skills for ministry. God’s prompting led Minister Linton to the Community Nazarene Church (CNC) in Wyandanch, Long Island, where she served as an Associate Minister for two years, creating seminars and workshops specifically designed to help the membership discover their potential and to move them into Christlike maturity.

Minister Linton rejoined the staff of Beulah in March of 2004 and in her present assignment, oversees the department of Evangelism and Ministry Development. In this capacity she is responsible for such areas as outreach, hospitality, new member assimilation as well as the telephone and prayer ministries. Her dynamic and innovative leadership style has helped to explode and reinvigorate this Ministry.

Deeply believing that it is time for the people of God to be permanently changed and not just stirred by the Word of God, Minister Linton flows under a unique anointing enabling her to teach revelational truths and life-changing principles. Her all-encompassing and forthright presentation of the Word makes her a highly sought after speaker for retreats, conferences and revivals. Minister Linton is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Theology and is also the founder of Healing for the Soul Ministries – A Ministry of Healing and Restoration.

Derek Burley is an ordained minister who bears a teaching and exhorting sensibility. He is on the ministerial staff at the Faith and Love Christian Center in Brooklyn, New York where he also served as the Youth Minister. As a full time itinerate minister, his work is encased in the theme “Critical Advancement” (critical meaning “marked by exact and careful judgment and evaluation” and advancement meaning “the process of moving forward”) in response to a portion of scripture which burns strongly in his heart:

“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” –Isaiah 55:10-11

Minister Burley believes that when Holy Scripture is spoken, it will go forth with exact and careful judgment and evaluation and will accomplish what God has sent it to do.

He focuses on the person of the Holy Spirit, not only in the personal development of the believer, but also in matters of spiritual warfare. He emphasizes the rights and realities of the “new creation,” challenging people to realize the unique and vital investment that God has placed within them and to deliberately access and nurture their treasure. His unique approach to the Word motivates people of all persuasions to critically think outside the proverbial “box” without compromising the integrity of the Word. Minister Burley’s work has also touched the lives of people in secular leadership. At times he speaks with a prophetic and philosophical twist which extends to the sociopolitical order.

Additionally, Minister Burley is a professional student, emphasizing his belief that education plays a vital role in ministering to the world. He travels throughout the USA and to nations such as the United Kingdom, Belgium, Holland, Nigeria and Portugal. He is invited by various denominations and lectures at colleges and universities.
