If you are not the health ministry leader of your church, please speak with them or your pastor (if there is no HM leader) if you want to attend.
We are bringing in speakers that have personal experience in creating successful Health Ministry programs, and they will be sharing the wisdom that God has given them to help us overcome the common barriers to creating our own successful outreach programs. There will be talks on having a successful program, how to be relationally focused instead of only knowledge focused, blending our Health Message with the Gospel Message, mental health, and more!

*Please bring your own bedding and hiking gear for an optional hike on Sabbath.

*Also please plan ahead if you have children, as we will not have childcare or programming available for the Health Ministry Training Intensive.
