Missionary Training Program

Welcome to the HEART Missionary Institute. 
HEART Stands for: Health, Education, and Reformation Training.

 

We are pleased to announce a modular program that consists of four individual semesters of study that will be equivalent to a one-year program of training.

 

This form of education will take place each summer, allowing for flexibility for attendance. In this format, if a student attended each summer for 4 years, they would complete the one-year training.

 

In addition, if the student is unable to attend a certain summer semester, they may be able to attend in the future when that course is offered again in the cycle, and complete the training. This makes the training they have received still eligible for completion of the program and allows for people to complete the course at their pace.

 

There will be other programs available as well, including hopefully in the future, a correspondence program.

 

Classes for Module One (starting May 22, 2022)

• Overview of True Education
• Introduction / Overview of the 8 Laws of Health and their relation to disease
• Comparative Medical Philosophy
• Anatomy and Physiology
• History & Development of the Health Message
• Training to be Light bearers
• The Ministry of Healing
• Hydrotherapy: Fomentations, benefits & techniques of Colonics
• Emphasis: Agriculture

Cost for Program: $1,850.00
- scholarships potentially available -

“There are many ways of practicing the healing art, but there is only one way that Heaven approves. God's remedies are the simple agencies of nature that will not tax or debilitate the system through their powerful properties. Pure air and water, cleanliness, a proper diet, purity of life, and a firm trust in God are remedies for the want of which thousands are dying; yet these remedies are going out of date because their skillful use requires work that the people do not appreciate. Fresh air, exercise, pure water, and clean, sweet premises are within the reach of all with but little expense, but drugs are expensive, both in the outlay of means and in the effect produced upon the system.” {5T 443.1}

Health Awareness Sabbath

Dear believers of the world church:

 

Greetings with Psalm 65:1: “You crown the year with your goodness, and your paths drip with abundance.”

 

I am excited to share that January 09, 2021, is our annual Health Awareness Sabbath. It was established by the General Conference Medical Department to bring together our churches for elevating our awareness as it relates to health and well-being. Last year, many churches used this event as a Sabbath to be remembered. This year I hope that no church will miss this annual health event!

 

Last year our church in Georgia shared their experience:

“We had a wonderful Health Sabbath: Our morning topics in Carrollton, Georgia, reminded us how to prevent and reverse heart disease and how to use hygiene and temperance in all we do. In the afternoon the youth praised God with reminders about the 8 laws of health!”

 

This year, due to the global health crisis of COVID-19, our annual health awareness Sabbath can play a more prominent role in our worldwide church. People are searching for answers and are open to lifestyle transformation. This is an excellent opportunity for our health message to reach our homes and communities and bring people closer to the Great Physician. We wish to encourage each church, conference, and union to creatively develop this health-focused event. 

 

We must seize this opportunity to share our health and wellness message for our benefit and that of our communities. Our evidence-based lifestyle solutions provide simple answers to complex problems that challenge our world’s health concerns. Drawing attention to one’s well-being at the start of a year allows people to include new lifestyle choices into their New Year resolutions. 

 

2021 can be a year of vibrant health! Let us use this opportunity to make lasting changes in our families, churches, and impact our communities for Christ. Thank you for collaborating with us in making this health awareness Sabbath a memorable occasion. 

 

Wishing you abundant health and a blessed New Year.

Health Awareness Sabbath

Start Date: 
January 11, 2020
End Date: 
January 11, 2020

Dear brethren of our global church,

 

Greetings with Psalms 36:7, 9: “How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.”

 

As the New Year approaches, the Medical Missionary Department of the General Conference is planning to launch a special Health Awareness Sabbath on January 11, 2020. The purpose of this Sabbath is to encourage our members to renew their commitment to the health message by practicing healthy lifestyle habits and by sharing this special message with others.

 

“Our very bodies are not our own, to treat as we please, to cripple by habits that lead to decay, making it impossible to render to God perfect service. Our lives and all our faculties belong to him. He is caring for us every moment; he keeps the living machinery in action; if we were left to run it for one moment, we should die. We are absolutely dependent upon God.” Healthful Living, pp.11, 12.

 

We would like you to join us in listening to sermons and lectures on health on that special Sabbath. At the beginning of this New Year, let us recommit our physical, mental and spiritual health to our Creator and Redeemer. Why not ask Him, Who is the fountain of life, to give us the power to follow the healthy lifestyle habits He has outlined for us? If we are willing, He will give us the willpower to follow through on our commitments.

 

Thank you for your collaborating with us in “Reclaiming our Health.” May the Lord abundantly bless you and give you a healthy and happy New Year!

 

Yours in the Blessed Hope,

 

John Baer

Director of the Medical Missionary Dept. of the General Conference

While 1 in 31 American women die from breast cancer each year, 1 in 3 dies of heart disease. It’s time to spread awareness regarding women’s risk for heart disease and take responsibility for mitigating our individual risk through healthy lifestyle changes.

Heart disease is the number one killer in most countries in the Western Hemisphere. Though, statistically, we know heart disease affects women and men equally, only about 13% of women believe it is a personal threat to them.
