The
Lord wishes above all that His people may prosper and be in health. With
this mandate in mind, the Health Ministries Department and Better Living
Health Centre hosted the Seventh Annual Health Extravaganza on Thursday,
October 28, 2004 at The Mall at-Marathon. This well-attended health
display made a significant impact on the audience and on-lookers.
Dr. John Carey, a former Health Ministries Director of the Conference
delivered the Opening Remarks and declared the Health Extravaganza open.
Other participants included Pastor Michael Smith, Ministerial Director
of Bahamas Conference, who prayed of God to bless the gathering, and Mr.
James Clarke, a guest presenter talked about the effect and control of
diabetes.
The pulse was right, the heartbeat was perfect, the adrenal rush was
adequate. From 5:00 p.m. to closing time, the exhibition attracted
thousands people from all walks of life. This included health
professionals, the health-conscious and the curious.
Many persons in the audience expressed their satisfaction with positive
comments on the effort of the church to sensitize the public to health
care and health needs of our nation. Also, some people enquired about
ways of procuring vegetarian products and preparing vegetarian meals.
The health enthusiasts, as well as the curious observers, ate freely of
the nutritious and tastefully prepared vegetarian meals that were
displayed at various booths. Trained health workers took blood pressure,
gave massages, and conducted diabetes and cholesterol tests. Of course,
more members were inducted into the 'Be Healthy, Be Happy Club.'
The children and adults were treated to an interesting puppet show which
presented ideas and principles of health and nutrition in a manner that
the children could understand and appreciate. Above all, this event was
a powerful outreach tool to introduce men, women and children to the
Greatest Physician that anyone could ever have. Many thanks to the
