Health Ministries
The Health Ministries Department promotes the health and well-being
of Church members and the community at large. It seeks to encourage the
quality of life factor that, sadly, is so often missing. Church members
are encourage to adopt a healthy diet and abstain from injurious drugs
and alcohol. This is accomplished by having Health Secretaries in each
church who organise programmes for the church members and share
up-to-date health information. They also arrange health programmes for the community. These include Stop Smoking and
Stress Management programmes which meet the felt needs of people in all
walks of life and often give them their first introduction to
Seventh-day Adventists. The Church at a national and regional level
co-operates with other religious and secular agencies whose aims are
similar to our own. This united platform helps to bring about desirable
changes in society that enable us to meet our health objectives. The
Seventh-day Adventist Church has always had a holistic approach to
health in that it regards the spiritual life as one of the important
dimensions of being. In adopting this approach the Church avoids many of
the extremes that are currently popular and derive from philosophies
alien to Christianity. All Church members are encouraged to participate
in the various programmes offered and find that through the programmes
they are able to invite their family members and friends who might not
be reached with more direct evangelism.
