The vision of A Healthier Lifestyle Ministries all began several years ago when God showed us the great truth of the health message, the same truth that led Richard to the faith years before. The message of health reform soon led us to start a vegan Jamaican restaurant in 2009 called Elaine’s Healthy Choice in new haven Connecticut, there we served wholesome natural foods while also ministering to the people of the community. The restaurant was opened for three years than was closed in 2011 as God led us to move on. We still did catering and was also able to be a blessing to several young couples looking to serve vegan food at their weddings, we served in that capacity primarily in the states of New york and Connecticut. Since the closing of the restaurant God has led us to write a cookbook, which includes some of the recipes, used in the restaurant, which is in the final stages of completion. In 2013 we started A Healthier Lifestyle Ministries at our home in Hamden Connecticut, were it has been a blessing to many people. Since the start of the ministry and before, we have done several health lectures, cooking classes and health days both domestically in several towns in Connecticut and internationally in Jamaica and Canada. Our mission is to present the Gospel of Christ in connection with the health message, which is the third angels message spoken of in Revelation 14. So that prophecy in Mathew spoken by our Lord can be fulfilled, which says: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:14.
We are currently in the process of looking for a country property of 10 acres or more where we can establish a permanent sanitarium.
When the soul surrenders itself to Christ, a new power takes possession of the new heart. A change is wrought which man can never accomplish for himself. It is a supernatural work, bringing a supernatural element into human nature. The soul that is yielded to Christ becomes His own fortress, which He holds in a revolted world, and He intends that no authority shall be known in it but His own. A soul thus kept in possession by the heavenly agencies is impregnable to the assaults of Satan. But unless we do yield ourselves to the control of Christ, we shall be dominated by the wicked one. We must inevitably be under the control of the one or the other of the two great powers that are contending for the supremacy of the world. It is not necessary for us deliberately to choose the service of the kingdom of darkness in order to come under its dominion. We have only to neglect to ally ourselves with the kingdom of light. If we do not co-operate with the heavenly agencies, Satan will take possession of the heart, and will make it his abiding place. The only defense against evil is the indwelling of Christ in the heart through faith in His righteousness. Unless we become vitally connected with God, we can never resist the unhallowed effects of self-love, self-indulgence, and temptation to sin. We may leave off many bad habits, for the time we may part company with Satan; but without a vital connection with God, through the surrender of ourselves to Him moment by moment, we shall be overcome. Without a personal acquaintance with Christ, and a continual communion, we are at the mercy of the enemy, and shall do his bidding in the end. DA 324.1
God has led to start A Healthier Lifestyle Ministries, and is still leading us onward and upward.
May we all by his grace, do our part to hasten his coming.
