Medical-Fitness Technician

Course Textbook

As an SDA Health & Fitness Professional who is training SDA students in a therapeutic lifestyle course, you need to have an adequate knowledge base of the Adventist Health Message, and you need to exemplify those principles consistently in your daily life. So as part of your course requirement, you will study "Medical Ministry," which is a compilation of E.G. White's counsels for medical missionary work.

Instructions: Schedule 30 minutes per day for devotional reading, preferably in the early morning. Read 1 Chapter per day and use the Chapter Quiz to test your understanding. Be sure to pray before each study and reflect on the message afterwards. Try to keep your thoughts on the message throughout the day and watch for opportunities to apply the lessons in your daily life.
