I pray God's favor and blessings on your ministry. I just would like to share with you the Health Initiative Ministry we started at Grace Gospel Tabernacle. The reason we started this Health Initiative was because I was noticing that some of the members were sick, overweight or had some type of disease (high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney problems, etc). Some of the members who invested in the Health Initiative lost up to 30lbs. Pastors this Health Initiative will assist you and your congregation in becoming healthier! As pastor's we should not only be concern with our congregations spiritual health, we should also be concerned with their physical health. I attached the pdf information, if you are interested or know another pastor who might be interested please give me a call at 718-690-1238. Our church social enterprise website is: http://ggt.my90forlife.com Blessings, Pastor DeGraffe

1. Featuring the Serenity Weight Loss
and Detoxification Program
…founded in Hempstead, NY in 1992, by
Michelle and Harry Edmonds. It was the
first nationwide, educationally-based,
holistic weight loss program

2. The core of Serenity's philosophy is
the belief that family traditions for
maintaining wellness, are superior
to traditional medical approaches
for healing disease

4. At the conclusion of the
6-week program, participants
receive a wellness score.
The score is based on the
“legs” of Serenity’s
Three-phase Wellness Model,
providing a road map, for
continuation.
Measures of success are the
wellness scores, reported
weight loss and visual
improvements.

5. Serenity more often attracts clients of
African-American or Latina descent, raised
on an intuitive approach to wellness,
passed down by their elders.
However, the baby boomer generation
gradually moved away from these
traditions, often because they were
scoffed at by allopathic medical doctors.
Rumors of botched surgeries , bad drugs,
and bad history, fueled the distrust of the
traditional medical approach
As a consequence, these groups lead this
nation’s “obesity epidemic” and have high
blood pressure, diabetes and kidney
disease at rates well above the
national averages.

6.  “Lock-arms” with the clergy in
your community
Increase the number of

wellness practioners who are
trained to serve diverse cultural
groups
 Let’s not embrace the “bad
gene” theory of high blood
pressure and diabetes

7. 
Our commitment to education and the
elimination of health care disparities,
inspired Serenity to partner with Dr.
Joel Wallach, and his wife,
Dr. Ma Lan, and the product-line they
founded as "Youngevity".
