The Legacy Tour-Kansas City, MO

Dr. Henry W. Wright will be remembered for a great many things. His contributions to the health and welfare of the body of Christ were invaluable and continue to bear the wonderful fruit of healing and deliverance throughout the world. Yet to those who knew him, he was a genuine, sincere man who truly cared for each individual that he encountered.

He was fun-loving, with a sense of humor that could sometimes fly under the radar and other times catch you completely off guard. He deeply loved his wife, Pastor Donna Wright, his family, and his extended church family. And though he liked to keep the atmosphere light and encouraging, he took his role as a shepherd of the church very seriously.

It would be impossible to measure the impact he had on the lives of the people around him. His heart was to lead others to wholeness and peace in the love of God, and He did his best to represent God’s love in all that he did. He would frequently say, “Healing is just a bonus. Our relationship with Father God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is the most important thing that makes everything else work.” He’d also say that he was just a guy doing what God told him to do. He didn’t have to prove that he was something special; he wanted to lead others to God’s love. Yet, because he yielded to God, God was able to use him mightily as a vessel for the furtherance of His Kingdom.

Dr. Wright was the president and founder of Hope of the Generations Church and Be in Health®. Together, Henry and Donna Wright faithfully taught and ministered to those that God sent to them. They also traveled all over the world, teaching conferences and ministering. Over time, God led them to establish the For My Life® Retreat and other subsequent retreats and conferences. These have led tens of thousands of people to restoration and healing in God as they learned the spiritual roots of disease and applied the scriptural truth to their lives.

Dr. Wright’s first book, A More Excellent Way, was initially self-published, yet it became a bestseller on the Christian book marketplace, selling hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide. This book has helped thousands of people recover from the devastation of disease and find healing in God. A More Excellent Way is also translated into seven languages.

The book he published shortly before he went on to be with the Lord entitled, Exposing the Spiritual Roots of Disease, has already become an invaluable resource. He also left a wealth of insights and teachings that teach God’s people how to walk as victorious overcomers in health and wholeness in every area of their lives—spirit, soul, and body.

Because of his extensive Biblical and medical research and understanding, he earned an honorary doctorate of therapeutic counseling from Chesapeake Bible College. He understood that we were more than just physical and psychological beings, we are also very spiritual after the image of God. That understanding was groundbreaking in helping people be recovered to wholeness in God in their whole being. He went on to develop the groundbreaking field of study called PneumaPsychoSomatology®, which studies the connection between the spirit, soul, and body according to the Bible.

His legacy will continue to bring healing and restoration to many more people. He put his hand to the plow and did not look back; he kept the faith and finished his course on the earth. Although we all greatly miss his presence with us, the day he went home to the Lord was the happiest day of his life. We rejoice with him on his graduation, and now it’s our responsibility to continue submitting ourselves to God so that we too can be His vessels to complete the Lord’s work here.
