Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19–20), and caring for our physical well-being is an act of worship. At Sobo SDA Church, we embrace the Adventist health message—a holistic approach to wellness that includes physical, mental, and spiritual health. We believe that good health enhances our ability to serve God and others.
1. A Biblical Philosophy of Health:
The Bible promotes clean eating, temperance, rest, and physical activity. These principles guide our approach to health.
2. Vegetarian Living and Plant-Based Nutrition:
Following God’s original diet, many members adopt plant-based lifestyles, leading to lower rates of chronic disease and better overall vitality.
3. NEWSTART Principles:
We educate and promote the Adventist health acronym: Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunlight, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust in God—a framework for balanced living.
4. Health Education and Cooking Classes:
Workshops and health expos teach practical skills like label reading, healthy cooking, stress management, and natural remedies.
5. Mental Health and Emotional Support:
Recognizing the importance of mental well-being, we offer seminars on anxiety, depression, and resilience, alongside prayerful support and counseling resources.
Conclusion:
Health and wellness are not just physical disciplines but spiritual responsibilities. By embracing a lifestyle that honors God in body and spirit, we position ourselves to live more fully, love more deeply, and serve more faithfully.
