Adventist Lifestyle Centres:
Fulfilling the Vision
An online conference
The Lord, through His last-day messenger Ellen G White, gave a very special and particular call for Adventist doctors and health professionals to establish sanitariums (or lifestyle centres) outside every major city. These special institutions were to use lifestyle-based natural therapies to help people heal and point them to Jesus as their healer and savior.
We are currently far from fulfilling this bold but necessary call. This event brings together Adventist health professionals, businessmen, pastors and laypeople who have a passion to see the vision of lifestyle centre work fulfilled in Canada. If this is your passion and interest, please join us!
Program + Speakers
