Simultaneously, there are many health professionals who have never considered using their passion and talent in Christian ministry.

A third group of wellness professionals are desperately seeking a passionate return for their efforts. They seek that elusive satisfaction of achieving their purpose, that missing ingredient that transforms a job into a joy.

It may simply take an invitation to participate, to open their eyes to the fulfilling joy of serving Christ through time, talent and treasure.

The Harvest Is Plentiful but the Workers Are Few

“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:35-38

Christian fitness professionals are out there, but there are not enough of them and they are not well identified. Fitness and wellness provides a perfect environment for incorporating Christian faith truths and instruction. There are good men and women professionals committed to using their passion for wellness to tell the world that the fullness of health and wellness is found in the Bible. When people seek healing and answers, they are more open to hear the gospel and welcome the hope of Jesus. Fitness professionals are there to offer it. They are there to educate, encourage and empower people.
