This is the Gate of Heaven health ministry. We began participating in the Body & Soul Program in November 2009. Body & Soul was developed as a pilot program in collaboration with the American Cancer Society, the University of North Carolina, the University of Michigan, and the National Cancer Institute. This program was conducted in churches of various sizes, and this faith-based program has been highly successful in helping church members eat more fruits and vegetables, which contributes to healthier eating habits and helps members become better stewards of their bodies. The Gate of Heaven program has included nutritionist seminars on healthy eating and healthier cooking recipes that result in delicious, healthier food. Besides promoting a healthy eating lifestyle, the Gate of Heaven health ministry also promotes stroke awareness & prevention, CPR/AED training, and high blood pressure awareness.
