A CALL TO MEDICAL EVANGELISM
 

 Greetings!     

   

     Have you ever read the book A Call to Medical Evangelism and Health Education? I believe a call to train medical missionary workers is desperately needed because the world is facing a pandemic the likes of which they have never seen called GLOBAL OBESITY! It has been reported that global obesity will increase by 40% in the next few years, and America will be at the top of the list. Our nation's population will be three-quarters overweight and obese. With increased obesity also comes an increase in heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, liver disease, and diabetes. The inhabitants of earth are on a collision course with disease and sickness, the likes of which the world has never seen. If there was a ever a time for us to stand up and proclaim our God-given health message it is NOW!
     Few churches in their evangelistic efforts blend the health message with the gospel. Christ had a dual ministry--He healed sinners and the sick. Most Christians acknowledge that we should obey God's commandments, but fail to obey God's laws of health which would prevent sickness, disease, and an inevitable early grave. In fact, most Christians do not realize that God has a health message. Therefore, there is a great need for properly-trained medical missionaries to go into the highways and byways and teach the health message with the gospel. We need to blend the two messages in our evangelism and canvassing work.
     "A forward step is imperative; a new note must be struck. Thousands of laymen must now hear and repeat the call to medical missionary evangelism. Nurses should engage in medical missionary evangelism. Scores of young men should qualify to be lecturers. Physicians should sense fully their responsibility of imparting the message of health and temperance in talks and lectures in churches in the larger cities. Ministers should lead out as organizers and teachers of bands of young evangelists." A Call to Medical Evangelism and Health Education, Foreword, General Conference Medical Department, penned in 1950.
     The church has failed to fulfill her God-given mission to educate the world in true health principles. To the contrary, the church is in a terrible backslidden condition and our physicians are teaching for doctrines the Babylonian method of healing -- the use of drugs, chemotherapy, and radiation. Prevention is not the key message, and instead of educating people in the use of natural remedies like good nutrition, pure water, exercise, fresh air, sunshine, self-control, rest and trusting in Divine power, doctors are writing prescriptions for drugs that produce side effects and never cure the patient. Drugs do not cure, they only relieve symptoms.
     "Drugs never cure disease; they only change its form and location.  ... When drugs are introduced into the system, for a time they seem to have a beneficial effect. A change may take place, but the disease is not cured. It will manifest itself in some other form. ... The disease which the drug was given to cure may disappear, but only to reappear in a new form, such as skin diseases, ulcers, painful, diseased joints, and sometimes in a more dangerous and deadly form. ... Nature keeps struggling, and the patient suffers with different ailments, until there is a sudden breaking down in her efforts, and death follows." HL 243 
      On the other hand, we should teach the people that God has a health plan. We must instruct people in the laws of health,  water therapies, herbs in place of drugs, cleansing and detoxifying the elimination organs of the body, cooking classes, and the power of a plant-based diet. We need more wellness centers where we can teach the patients how they can prevent and reverse chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer. We need an army of medical missionaries or health disciples who will lift the standard high and teach people a better way!
    I just returned from Washington DC where I attended a class at Whole Foods sponsored by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine -- an organization led by President Dr. Neal Barnard that is doing the work our church should be doing. As a result, we are planning a special 5-day program at BellaVita teaching PCRM's Cancer Project for the prevention and survival of cancer. At the special Cancer Prevention 5-day program, Charmaine Daniels, an instructor for PCRM, will give vegan cooking and live food demonstrations and share DVD lectures by leading physicians on using food as medicine. At this special 5-day program, I will be teaching health classes also and guiding the guests through a therapuetic cleanse just like we do at BellaVita's 10-day session.  
     May we all respond to the call to Medical Evangelism and do our part: "We have come to a time when every member of the church should take hold of medical missionary work. The world is a lazar house filled with victims of both physical and spiritual disease. Everywhere people are perishing for lack of a knowledge of the truths that have been committed to us. The members of the church are in need of an awakening, that they may realize their responsibility to impart these truths." (CME 10).
      We need to understand that "the medical missionary work is to be a great entering wedge, whereby the diseased soul may be reached (see Counsels on Health, p. 535)." I am distressed that more Christians are not following this wise and timely counsel, especially those in my own church. Most of the congregation eat and drink like the world and reject God's health message that was given to the church over a hundred years ago. We have a unique work to do to prepare the world for Christ's coming, but the church members are unprepared themselves.  
     "I can see in the Lord's providences that the medical missionary work is to be a great entering wedge, whereby the diseased soul may be reached. (Counsels on Health, p. 535). 
     "The evangelization of the world is the work that God has given to those who go forth in His name. They are to be colaborers with Christ, revealing to those ready to perish His tender, pitying love. God calls for thousands to work for Him, not by preaching to those who know the truth, going over and over the same ground, but by warning those who have never heard the last message of mercy. Work with a heart filled with an earnest longing for souls. Do medical missionary work. Thus you will gain access to the hearts of the people. The way will be prepared for more decided proclamation of the truth. You will find that relieving their physical suffering gives an opportunity to minister to their spiritual needs. 
     "The Lord will give you success in this work, for the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, when it is interwoven with the practical life, when it is lived and practiced. The union of Christlike work for the body and Christlike work for the soul is the true interpretation of the gospel." An Appeal for the Medical Missionary College, pp. 14, 15. (CME 7.2, 3). 
      Friends, for 25 years I have known the medical missionary work to be the "great entering wedge" and God's appointed method of reaching the hearts of the people. That is why Modern Manna has hosted Health and Healing Crusades for 12 years in an effort to teach and people from all denominations a healthier way of living; why Healthline radio show aired throughout the country for 12 years; why we opened a vegetarian restaraunt in Lodi and served healthy, vegan food to the customers and gave them health tracks and the books like Steps to Christ and Ministry of Healing; why we held health and vegetarian cooking classes at colleges, schools, fairs, and churches in an effort to reached both young and old (some were baptized); why I frequently travel throughout the country preaching about health and the gospel; why we opened BellaVita Lifestyle Center and take patients from all over the world; why Modern Manna is starting a thirty-day intensive medical missionary school called R I S E N -- an acronym meaning Remedial and Integrated School of Evangelism and Naturopathy; why we recorded fourteen the new television series called Adventures in Health which airs on satellite television to the world; why we built a new TV studio where we can film our own DVDs messages and streamline them for free on our new website--www.modernmanna.org; why we are planning a new weekly TV show called Lifestyle for Excellent Health with cooking demonstrations; why I write the Elijah Prophecy every week and post a Health Tip of the Day on facebook; and why I give Bible studies on health and the gospel that give  hope and to the church and the world.
     God will bring revival and reformation to His people through human instruments. If we fail to do the appointed work, He will find others to do it even among the healthen: "We have a great work to do in our world. If ministers and doctors will work in God's lines, He will work with them. But they must change, decidedly change, in spirit and character. They must remember that they are not the only ones to whom the Lord will give wisdom. If His people will not follow in His way, the Lord will employ heathen princes to do His will. (NL 62).
     When ministering to the sick we must present Jesus as the Great Physician and teach them how to use natural remedies as His true medicines. The health work will open the hearts and minds of the people for the reception of deeper Bible truths. I call the ministry of healing  the ministry of compassion. I believe there will be many souls in the kingdom because of a caring medical missionary who introduced someone to Jesus using the health message as the entering wedge. The true health work is God's blueprint for reaching souls. The work of healing the sick and preaching the gospel of the kingdom are to blend. (See Matthew 4:23-25).
     The health work is an entering wedge because it gets into the crack of the heart where nothing else can. There are churches serving sweets and junk food to their congregations, even before church starts, in an effort to win more people to their services. The junk food and entertainment may satisfy the carnal appetites, but they do nothing to strengthen body, mind or spirit. What the church desperately needs today is not the diet of Babylon or the entertainment of Hollywood, but the true health message and the pure word of God. In fact, I challenge you to read Counsels on Diet and Foods and Ministry of Healing even if your have read these beautiful books before. If you will take up my challenge, I know God will bless you. They inspired words will motivate you to make changes in your life and improve your walk with God.  
     Years ago, before BellaVita was ever built, I preached sermons of my vision of building a health sanitarium in the country among the  flowers, orchards, and vineyards. The following quote strongly motivated me to open a wellness retreat: "When a sanitarium is established in the country, the sick can breathe the pure air of heaven. As they walk among the flowers and trees, joy and gladness fill their hearts. It is as if the smile of God were upon them, as they look upon the beautiful things He has created to bring joy to their sad hearts. Life in the open air is good for body and mind. It is God's medicine for the restoration of health. Pure air, good water, sunshine, beautiful surroundings -- these are His means for restoring the sick to health in natural ways. The fact that in the country all these advantages can be obtained is a powerful incentive to the establishment of a sanitarium in the country. There the institution can be surrounded by flowers and trees, orchards and vineyards. The effect of such surroundings is as it were an elixir of life." (MM 232, 233). God has certainly blessed the ministry with two homes, two jacuzzis, a professional weight room, a TV studio, a large pool, a parking lot, a majestic river in the backyard, 90 fruit trees, and beautiful gardens and flowers. We have the most gorgeous landscape for the guests to enjoy. It is a touch of Eden. Take a peek at the property here: 1844 Property.
      "In your care of the sick, act tenderly, kindly, faithfully, that you may have a converting influence upon them. You have need of the grace of Christ in order to properly represent the service of Christ. And as you present the grace of truth in true disinterested service, angels will be present to sustain you. The Comforter will be with you to fulfill the promise of the Saviour, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." (Medical Ministry, p. 196).
     "
Get the young men and women in the churches to work. Combine medical missionary work with the proclamation of the third angel's message. Make regular, organized efforts to lift the church members out of the dead level in which they have been for years. Send out into the churches workers who will live the principles of health reform. Let those be sent who can see the necessity of self-denial in appetite, or they will be a snare to the church. See if the breath of life will not then come into our churches." (MM 320).
May God richly bless you as you share this beautiful message of health with the world.

Maranatha,
Danny Vierra

Colorado Update

     I just returned from Colorado where I spoke to a crowd of over 200 at the Twin Peaks SDA Church. My startling message for the 11:00 o'clock service was called Health Reform and the Spirit of Prophecy. It was a urgent message of love and mercy, but challenged the SDAs in the audience to rise to the occasion and embrace the message of health that God gave to our church over a hundred years ago. It was a message of health revival and reformation.
    Please digest the following statement from the pen of inspiration carefully:

   
    "We have come to a time when every member of the church should take hold of medical missionary work. The world is a lazar house filled with victims of both physical and spiritual disease. Everywhere people are perishing for lack of a knowledge of the truths that have been committed to us. The members of the church are in need of an awakening, that they may realize their responsibility to impart these truths. Those who have been enlightened by the truth are to be light bearers to the world. To hide our light at this time is to make a terrible mistake. The message to God's people today is: 'Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.'" {7T 62}.
   
   In Colorado I spoke about the dangers of transmittal diseases like mad cow disease and cancer, and the fact that animal protein makes tumors grow, especially casein in dairy products. I spoke on the dangers of obesity, tobacco, alcohol, and refined sugar, and the benefits of a whole plant based diet, just as God gave in the Garden of Eden. Each slide revealed health-destroying practices that were predicted over a hundred years ago by Ellen G. White, and I then gave scientific evidence to prove the accuracy of the statement and its fulfillment in our day. I also spoke for two and a half hours at a local recreation center. My presentation was called Cleansing, Juicing, and Live Foods for Optimum Health.

    A few weeks prior to the Colorado meeting, I held health revival meetings in Silver Spring, Maryland. In Maryland, as in Colorado, another 200 people came forward and recommitted their lives to God and His health message. Many had lost their first love and grown cold, but the message woke them out of sleep. God is indeed merciful to His Laodicean church and sends them messages of love! He does not want to see His people die from the diseases of the world, for we are to be His peculiar people.
     This Sunday
we start another BellaVita 10-day program with guests of all denominations and creeds. We are overbooked and every bed is taken in both houses with hungry souls who want to learn about disease, its causes, prevention, and cure. They want to learn how to do the work the medical missionary work. Daniel Jr. and I have started to plan for the Health and Healing Crusade for 2011, which promises to be as powerful as any Modern Manna has sponsored in the past twelve years. Daniel is also editing the presentation I gave in Colorado and Maryland, to a crowd of 300 mostly from India, and we plan to send it out to those of you who are on the CD of the Month program (call us for details). We will make the download available for free on our new website in the near future.
     We are planning our 30-day medical missionary school called R I S E N which stands for Remedial and Integrated School of Evangelism and Naturopathy. Modern Manna's intensive 30-day medical missionary school is set to launch
in September of 2011. At the unique school we will train the students in disease, its causes, prevention, and cure, natural medicine, hydrotherapy, massage, organic gardening, cleansing and detoxifying, cancer prevention and survival, live and cooked vegan classes, God's laws of health, how to start your own health education home, and much more. Only twelve students will be chosen for the September session. You will be accepting applications in the near future. Look for the link on our website in 2011.
    Please pray for us at Modern Manna as we proclaim the message of revival and reformation in health to the church and the world. I have been invited to speak in Florida, New York, Texas, and other locations, and will be speaking in  San Diego in January and in Glendale, California in February (for more information on speaking engagements see our new website at www.modernmanna.org). We are also planning a special 5 day cleanse and instruction in the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine's Cancer Project. This program offers classes in vegan cooking and live foods that are filled with anti-oxidants and phytochemicals. You will enjoy a 5-day cleanse and live-in program with me at BellaVita for this class. We hope to post the dates soon.
     Now, how can you help us? We are so excited about our new TV studio, but need to order the green screen and lights right away before we can start filming new programs on health revival and reformation and more. I plan to put the classes we teach at R I S E N on DVD. We also need to purchase a large LCD monitor for Powerpoint presentations at BellaVita this week. The cost for the media equipment is approximately $5,500. PLEASE help Modern Manna in our effort to revive the church and educate the world in God's health message? Time is short and we cannot do it without your contributions.
    You can make an online tax-deductible donation or send the contribution to Modern Manna, PO 408, Victor, CA. 95253. You can always call us toll-free at 800.655.3228.

God bless,
