This month we are focusing on setting and completing goals that will help us reach better health. This first installment concerns sleep habits. Click to read on.

It never seems like we have enough time in a day to accomplish everything we want. Changing one’s habits often seems time consuming and tends to be postponed. Sleeping late is a habit that many of us are accustomed to, but the sooner we take steps to adopt healthier sleeping hours the richer the blessings in store. Getting a good night’s rest is so important that from the dawn of creation God made night and day. The heavens obey, and the universe displays the sun by day and moon by night. It is only humanity, in our small cosmos, who have attempted to reverse their use.

Exercise: your heart's favorite friend.

Lifelong physical activity is crucial to preventing many modern epidemics such as heart disease, obesity, and hypertension, but that doesn't mean you have to resign yourself to running marathons. Sensible exercise should consist of a combination of stretching, aerobic exercise, and strength training.

On Sabbath, February 20, Cyclone Winston hit the northern side of the Fiji Islands. Cyclone Winston was one of the largest cyclones ever recorded in the South Pacific. The islands have sustained extremely damaging winds and flooding, which have caused extensive damage to housing, crops, infrastructure as well as injury and loss of life. We would like to ask you all to keep the Fijian people in your prayers.

Canada
On February 12-15, 2016 the families from the Eastern Canadian Field participated of a youth retreat in the Algonquin Highlands, Ontario.

Considering a very mild winter in the months of December and January, some wondered whether this year's Winter Youth Retreat at Shalom by the Lake in the Algonquin Highlands, Ontario would merit being called a "winter" retreat. The temperatures we got for the Family Day long weekend, February 12-15, 2016, was more than we could have asked for. The Arctic air mass that moved into Northern and Southern Ontario brought down fresh snow, and made the temperature dip to nearly record lows. Saturday morning the temperature went down to -32°C and Sunday morning to -39°C!

Ghana
It's time to arise and build in Ghana!

On February 4th, 2016 Brother John Bosco, Regional Secretary for the Northern African region, visited our group in Ghana. The meetings held were on the following topics:

  • The Signs of Jesus' Coming
  • Tithes and Offerings in the Bible
  • Jesus our Helper 

 

Our brethren in Ghana are currently facing a problem regarding their church structure. It has become too small, as our group has grown. At this point, the brethren have had to leave their children at home as there isn't enough room for everyone.
