Jesus First Inc. Resource Center- Supporting Your Health & Wellness
About us
Jesus First Inc. is a faith based, non for profit organization that supports the preaching, teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ through Health Ministry
Jesus said " I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly'' (John 10:10) Having abundant life involves balance among the spiritual, emotional, physical, social, intellectual, occupational, and environmental dimensions that make a person whole, with God as the center and guiding force in each.
When we see the word ''healthcare'' we tend to think of fixing sick people. Healing ministries have always been vitally important to the church. However, the unique challenge for the church today is the promotion of health and wholeness. This is especially true in light of the number of health problems and issues that have strong social, moral, psychological and spiritual origins. The Christian church must answer the call to minister health and healing to all, and to provide ''whole person'' healing ministry. It is also important that the Christian church teaches its congregation how to maintain health and prevent disease.
To be healthy, however, we must promote wellness in all areas of live. Living well is everyone's responsibility. We are the primary decision makers, leaders and actors in achieving wellness. Our life together as a community-the way we manage life dimensions mentioned above-- is the key to our wholeness, that is our spiritual, relational, and physical well-being. It is out of our response to God's abundant love for us that we can choose to be good stewards of our gifts, including our health and wholeness.
Christians must get more involved in health and wellness ministries. In the African American community specifically, the black church still serves as the most trusted and respected institution and has significant influence on the daily lives, values, and personal life choices of a large percentage of the community. Therefore, therefore, the local African American church, and really all churches, is both a logical and idea medium through which to provide health ministry and to empower people to assume responsibility for their own health.
