POTTER’S OUTREACH 2020
JOB DESCRIPTION
HEALTH AND TEMPERANCE
Health and temperance ministries are an integral part of the mission of the Adventist Church. “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God” (I Cor. 10:31). Health and temperance ministry is the gospel of Christ illustrated, the message of God practiced. Without it, the gospel witness is muted; it is merely a theory, an idea.
The most important objective of health and temperance ministry is to help men and women reach their full potential, mentally, spiritually and physically. To reach full potential, health and temperance principles must be practiced.
The more closely these principles are followed, the better health the person enjoys. The more active a church is in public health education, the more effective will be its public evangelism, for health is the most universal entering wedge.
