Программа пополнила арсенал адвентистских медико-миссионерских проектов и обещает стать такой же востребованной, как «Дышите свободно», «Ходите легко» и «Обратная сторона жизни».
В основу программы, которую подготовил и провел Александр Кузнецов, легла методика доктора Бейтца, разработавшего систему упражнений для коррекции зрения. Доктор заявляет, что методика помогает человеку снять очки, независимо от того, какие причины привели к ухудшению зрения.
Организаторам почти не пришлось тратиться на рекламу. После одного объявления в церкви на первую встречу пришло много народу. Судя по тому, что на каждую встречу приходило около 40 человек, проблемы со зрением беспокоят многих людей. Члены церкви приводили родных и друзей. Было немало и молодежи.
Проводить такую программу можно не только в стенах церкви, но и за её пределами. Упражнениям для глаз уже обучили жителей нескольких городов.
Медико-миссионерские программы, подобные этой, привлекли внимание новых людей, которые вряд ли бы переступили порог церкви, если бы их просто пригласили на субботнее богослужение.
On May 19 Adventist church of the city of Ryazan held next health exhibition in the courtyard of its house of prayer. For two hours the exhibition had been visited by 45 people, and a bookstall sold literature for two thousand rubles.
The house of prayer of Ryazan church located in a large residential area, in a busy location, near the market. Residents of the area, going shopping, walk past the fence of a house of worship and see what’s happening on the site.
The whole church was praying for the people to come to the exhibition. In order to attract the attention of people believers hung a large colorful banner on the fence and distributed many invitations in the neighboring houses.
Sunday was a warm and sunny day. At the appointed hour the first visitors began to come through the gate. We were pleased that those who came were not only a middle-aged and older women, but also men, and young people. There was also a lot of moms with kids. They curiously went from stand to stand, asking questions. And, they talked not only about their health, but also shared their family problems.
It is not the first time our church holding the health expo, so among the guests were our good friends. But there were also new people. Some were wary at first, but when they were invited to measure the pressure, to weigh in the balance, to determine their percentage of body fat, and to find out their biological age, alertness was replaced by interest and appreciation.
By the end of the exhibition the lecture “How to cope with stress” started in the hall. Four people agreed to hear the lecture. With this theme the health club work started, a program of which was given to every guest of exhibition. Lectures on the principles of a healthy lifestyle will be held on Saturday nights during the month.
We pray that visitors take the information they have heard on the expo and at the health club with confidence, and try to use this knowledge in their lives, because then their health will certainly be better. Also we pray that they open their hearts to God.
