Nurture health inwardly
Health professional church members nurture church member;
Unique experience of Curtis Bradford and Leo van Dolson – the unusual phenomenon;
Before reaching out to others through health, church members need to be motivated to see the blessing of following the healthy lifestyle.

Importance of nurturingchurch members
Once church members are convinced that healthy habits strengthen the immune system, they are ready to make their own personal lifestyle improvements.
Only when they have “walked the talk” can they reach out to others through health.

5 Commandments of C.H.A.R.T.E.R.S.
1. Friendship is the prime concern. Ambiance created by the
lifestyle team is more important than any single message.
Supportive friendship, understanding helpfulness and non-judgmental acceptance of the individual are essential.

A successful church-based “Hold on to Health – C.H.A.R.T.E.R.S. program needs to have the involvement of as many church members as possible.

Rationale
Healthcare institutions can never keep up with people’s healthcare needs.
Healthcare is getting more and more expensive.
Church members need to pick up the challenge of promoting the health message because we have the wholistic prevention principle.
