  Comments from Attendees

Very helpful workshop. Both presenters were knowledgeable and supportive. Input from members was also helpful.

Very informative workshop.

All the statistics made it eye-opening. The program inspired me personally to get out and become more fit while I'm still young.

Fab-u-lous!

I appreciate your perspective on health ministry.

Well rounded!

This was helpful: specific information, positive motivation, easy changes we could utilize easily.

I liked the diversity of presenters

Thank you for all the information and literature. I must say that since my attendance at the Wellness Seminar last year my life has not been the same. I am more careful with what I put in my mouth and although I am not an Adventist I do appreciate your interest in sharing your knowledge with people of all faith. God Bless.

You have changed my whole outlook:  I was convinced that diet & genetics was everything for health and “bodily exercise profits little”.  Thanks for the rest of the story.

"Overcoming Roadblocks" was helpful.

The program was awesome!  I learned so much!  I’m glad to find LifeLong Health as a resource!

Most helpful to me was the Diabetes assessment segment. Everything presented was relevant!

The self tests (BMI, BF%, walking test, flexibility, etc) and program as a whole were very motivational to me.

I appreciated that the info is from well respected sources and documented.

Well organized seminar. Good slides leave out nothing.  Dr. Hall is a gracious and caring presenter.  Very well informed, good listener and able to field questions well.

Helpful – Tremendous amounts of up-to-date, unbiased information solidly standing on good studies & research.

The new information on diabetes maintenance, fats, and carbohydrates was helpful. 

The training notebook was extremely helpful, and the presenter the epitome of diplomacy, love, and tolerance.

Eight Weeks to Wellness
Comments from Attendees

This class has really opened my eyes!!!

Excellent! I enjoyed it!

Thanks for the humor and calm demeanor in presenting a powerful seminar. I will always remember this wonderful information.

Wonderful information. The emphasis on health principles was profound.

Excellent materials. Well organized.

Interesting, thought-provoking, mind-expanding, heart-expanding, inspiring.

A very relevant and informative seminar.

I came to learn how to share.  The added blessing was what I learned for my own health needs.  I especially appreciated the positive, fun, and happy dynamics in the presentations.

A fantastic seminar!  What I really appreciated was the user-friendly programs that we can use in our ministries at our home churches.

Thank you for this wonderful and informative seminar.  It was very practical and I like the "choice" approach as far as helping people make changes, however small.

We really appreciate the respectful approach taken by the presenters of this seminar!  They represent the manner that Christ used to reach people.

All of the material was presented in an interesting and sometimes amusing way.  I appreciated the gentle, loving character of the program.

This was an excellent seminar. Speakers and material were extremely helpful.  I liked the atmosphere in which it was conducted and the balanced approach.  There was caring about the person, drawing their will, helping them choose to want to make the changes and encouraging and not forcing. What a great approach!  Also I liked the way your seminar doesn’t major in minors and kept a balanced view.  The way questions were answered in a very caring and tactful way was very edifying and kept a Christ-like camaraderie between presenter and attendee.  I have been motivated and thoroughly blessed this weekend.  Practical Christianity is at work in your seminar and it has been refreshing to see it in action for the glory of God

This workshop has been awesome!  The presenter and the material were very good.  The presenter brought it home.  I am looking forward to going to my church family and definitely to the community.  And for myself, I am going to make a change in my lifestyle.

This is so far one of the best informative and spiritual weekends I’ve had in 6-8 months.  I really enjoyed and have benefited greatly from all the presentations.

Each topic is very relevant and helpful.  I had a great time.

The information was informative, educational, and very well prepared.  Definitely, this is the kind of program to share with the community.

I really appreciated the non-condemning manner in the way things were presented.  I especially enjoyed the presentation on how to handle stress.  It was all well-balanced and common sense.

I'm making changes in my lifestyle!

This has been an excellent seminar. I am very excited about the impact this program can have on the church and the community.

This seminar was the best health related seminar I’ve ever been to.  The material was pertinent and the presenter’s enthusiasm was infectious.  I was chomping at the bit to try these things.

I would highly recommend this.

This has been extremely valuable information.  I was given steps and a format to follow that I was not provided when I became Health Ministries Leader two years ago.
