Empowered Nursing Ministry Unveiling the Divine Strategy Featured Article, December 2023 “God is the best strategist!” remarked a friend in our recent conversation as she recounted how she had been recognizing God’s leading in her life during challenging times. That conversation left me thinking about our strategic planning sessions AAFCN leadership held earlier this year. Your AAFCN leaders came away with a similar impression. Yes, God is the best strategist! The vision God placed in our hearts and minds was something I do not think any of us fully anticipated. It was a broader, higher, and [...]

Church Safety and the Nurse Understanding the protocol response to active threats and the FCN role in prevention and response Learning Objectives Some of the major causes that lead to threats on faith based properties are issues that fall under the ‘ministry umbrella’ of the Faith Based Community Nurse. (Mental illness, persistent health issues, emotional problems, domestic struggles…) In an emergency where there is a threat to the members of the church, the Faith Community Nurse can serve as a first responder to help those who are less mobile to be able to [...]

God Was at Work

God Was at Work God was at work in Lexington, Kentucky -- calling, equipping, inspiring, and training His people for the ministry of care, compassion, healing and restoration in their local communities. It was an opportunity to be equipped, to meet others with similar callings, to look for opportunities for service, and to be inspired by stories of restoration. As a functional nutrition health coach, I found opportunities to grow, be challenged, and expand my tools and vision for ministry. The morning plenary sessions helped us see what was new, interesting, and practical. From Pastor Shawn [...]

Pickleball... The Newest Form of Health Evangelism How can the fastest growing sport in the USA also be used for health evangelism? That’s what Loma Linda University School of Public Health Assistant Professor and AAHWC board member, Ernie Medina, Jr., DrPH, NBC-HWC, talked about at the recent NAD Health Summit in Lexington, KY. Pickleball is a paddle sport where you hit a plastic ball over a net on a small court. Think ping pong on a court. On Monday night, Dr. Medina gave a brief presentation on how pickleball is being used by churches as a [...]

Introducing LIFT Christ's Way of Coaching The NAD Health Summit in Lexington, KY, USA provided the perfect venue for the new Adventist Association of Health and Wellness Coaching (AAHWC) to introduce Health Partner - Jesus’ way of coaching. The Health Partner program grew out of the coaching community initially as a means of making our health programs more successful. We needed to add ongoing personal support to the information given, which is Jesus’ way of coaching. By doing this, we could not only help people achieve lasting lifestyle changes but also develop lasting friends through the [...]

February is National Cancer Prevention Month Social commerce is a part of the greater e-commerce market, which has seen a significant uplift in the past few years. In 2020, amid the COVID lockdown, social commerce got a big boom while people were confined to their homes. The volume of buyers on social media platforms has increased from 18 million buyers in 2018 to 80 million buyers in 2020. However, after mid-2021, the count decreased to 56 million buyers due to lockdown relaxations and the opening of malls and shopping centers. In 2022, experts estimate 70 million [...]

Eula Winston Illuminator's Spotlight, February 2023 The AAFCN has recently started a quarterly newsletter called The AAFCN Illuminator. Within it we’ve decided to do a spot on a selected AAFCN called:  The Illuminator’s Spotlight.

Now, on to the interview: A couple weeks ago she and I sat for a telephone interview which [...]
