MESSAGE FROM THE HEALTH MINISTRY DEPARTMENT

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus, our soon-coming King!

We thank God and the Northeastern Conference (NEC) Administration for entrusting us with

Health Ministries. Our mission is clear: to educate, to empower, and to uplift. For over 160

years, our world church has proclaimed the Adventist Health Message. Here at NEC, we are

honored to continue this work. We preach prevention, promote well-being, and point souls to

Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals (Exodus 15:26).

 

In 2024, under the theme “Health Everlasting: The Role of Health in Evangelism,” we

have journeyed together. We began with 10 Days of Prayer and Daniel’s Diet. We shared the

blessings of plant-based cooking. We taught gardening. We hosted a Healthy Grocery Shop-

ping seminar. We held a Mental Health Summit. We addressed the challenges of hyperten-

sion, diabetes, and cancer. We moved, we ministered, and we educated. We reached hearts

through Gospel Medical Missionary Training with Eden Lifestyle, Mental Health Spa at

Camp Victory Lake with our youth, and supported Hanson Place Mega Health Clinic in

Brooklyn.

 

All summer, many health expos were coordinated by our Health Ministries Leaders in

churches, communities, and crusade sites. Our 4th Annual Virtual Expos reached hundreds,

featuring world-renowned presenters. By God’s grace, our director, Dr. Joshua Deonarine,

has preached the health message and conducted health seminars in over 30 churches across

our conference this year. Lives have been changed. Souls have been touched.

 

This weekend, we close a year of growth, thanking God for the manifold evidence of His

goodness that we have experienced. Heartful thanks to our Regional Medical Missionary and

the Health Ministries Leaders. We gather to celebrate our journey and to look ahead to 2025.

We extend special thanks to Pastor Rohan Spencer and the Bethesda SDA Church family.

They have opened their doors and hearts to host our in-person sessions. To each of you—

thank you for walking this path with us. In 2025, under the theme “Pentecost 2025,” we will-

press on together. We remain committed to health, hope, and healing empowered by our

Master Healer, Jesus.

Best of Health and Happiness,

Dr. Joshua Deonarine

Health Ministries Director
