Students receive all the class materials (including the 158 page workbook and 6-DVD set of all 24 video teaching modules, plus a MP3 Audio CD of all 24 lessons), as well as a seat in your 12-week live class at the location designated by your church or ministry, and an official completion certificate from Southeastern University (upon successful completion.)
Students may attend the “Lessons for Healthy Living Plan” class as often as they like (limited only by class space). Spouses and engaged couples can attend together with a Couples Kit; and young adults living at home are welcome to attend with their parents (or legal guardians) by adding extra workbooks to their order. (Please note: Those attending on a Couples or Family Kit will receive a workbook and completion certificate for each person, but only one DVD set per couple or family.)
Your local Facilitator will help Students as much as possible throughout the program to ensure their personal success.
If a Student needs to withdrawal due to personal or scheduling reasons, they may choose to watch the videos and go through the course privately at home, or to take the course at a future time. (Note: They will not receive a completion certificate until successfully attending a live course.)
After successfully completing the course and certification testing, which can be done as quickly as the prospective Facilitator wishes (we suggest between 2 to 4 weeks), the Facilitator will be officially certified to conduct the course in any setting.
The NTN “Lessons for Healthy Living Plan” has been university recognized, and so each Facilitator who successfully completes the training and successfully passes the certification exam will receive an official completion certificate from Southeastern University. The Certificate of Completion will be issued directly from the University.
Concurrent promoting of the course and Facilitator training is encouraged, in order to fast-track your first class!
The course videos do the teaching, and each Facilitator is provided with a teacher-version of the workbook in order to run the classes. The job of Facilitators is simply to provide a lively, interactive learning environment for the Students, including “making it their own” as much as they wish. This is done while preparing for each class, by doing additional research, and sharing their personal experiences.
Facilitators are not required to answer any health questions or counsel Students outside of working through the course material. In fact, as Facilitators they are NOT to act as a professional health practitioner, establish any “patient” type of relationship with your Students, or give any official health advice outside of what is specified in the course videos and workbook.
Wish to move forward? Have your Church or organizations purchase whichever Facilitator Kit is appropriate for your needs. Then have the designated Facilitator(s) begin training immediately.
Within your church, you will find those who are passionate about the ministry of health and wellness. Decide who in your organization (staff or volunteer) you would like to have trained and certified to lead this newly formed outreach. Simply enroll them in the Facilitator Training Course and Nourish The Nations will take it from there.
The Facilitator Training Course is recognized by Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida. Upon completion, the facilitator will receive an official certification as Wholistic Biblical Stewards from the University.
Facilitators are trained and tested online through a private portal on our website. Each Facilitator receives unique access to all their training materials, which includes video modules, and other tools which will assist them in their studies, as they learn how to teach the curriculum, inspire your members to attend the course, and, of course, successfully pass the facilitator’s certification test. They also receive a set of Lessons for Healthy Living DVDs containing all 24 lessons from which they will teach, plus a Facilitator’s Edition of the Course Manual.
The course empowers individuals to achieve and sustain their health goals through an understanding of how to Biblically Steward their health: spirit, soul, and body. The goal is to help free the church from the bondage of poor health, obesity, and lethargy. Understanding how to eat, how to exercise and, how to supplement your diet when needed, are the keys to maximizing God’s provisions for health. And there are plenty of teachings to nourish the spirit and soul as well.
Nourish The Nations has linked itself to an online provider of advanced whole food nutritional products to help support individual health goals. It is an optional part of the program for the church and the participants. However, we strongly encourage this option for two very significant reasons.
Number one: our research and experience in complementary health have led us to a unique nutrition company. In our opinion, they have the best science to achieve superior outcomes for those who are already struggling with significant health or obesity issues.
Number two: This company offers its sustainable whole food nutritional solution as a social business. What that means is that they link the needs of the malnourished overfed people of the world (and there are 1.4 billion), to the needs of the malnourished underfed people of the world (there are 1.2 billion).
How do they do this? For every product purchased online, a similar whole food nutritional support product is donated to malnourished children through Manna Relief ministry, a relief organization that has donated over 85 million daily servings of Whole Food nutritional support to children in 89 countries around the world.
This buy-one-give-one model, combined with advanced whole food based solutions, provides a platform that is in total congruence with Nourish The Nations. Approximately 6 million of the 1.2 billion malnourished underfed people in the world are the most vulnerable of all. They are the children who die each year from the acute and chronic diseases that result from malnourishment. Nourish The Nations was able to align with this powerful movement to bring a Wholistic Biblical Stewardship ministry into God’s House and at the same time practice the “pure religion” of taking care of the world’s most needy people. We call this the Joseph Mandate, the preservation of life during the time of famine.
Members of your congregation are already spending money on weight loss efforts, food supplements, protein and snack bars, and protein drinks. As they take on Wholistic Biblical Stewardship in a whole new way, if they decide to redirect what their spending, not only are they guaranteed superior quality and scientifically backed whole food nutrition, but their dollars will go to support the most vulnerable children in the world.
The way it works is simple. Each participating church receives a unique website link for its members to use to purchase products. Any time a member redirects their spending to this site, needy children are nourished by Manna Relief. And the church also gets to direct where the 10% affiliate compensation goes. Again, the latter is an optional service provided by Nourish The Nations to either the church or ministry of its choice. Let us also assure you that there is no opportunity for your members to join any money-making plan from the purchase or referral of these products from this site.
The bottom line is that as we help you and your congregation to get lean, healthy and fit, and you help us to Nourish The Nations.
