Started in Florida but later moved to Georgia, Be in Health is a ministry led by Pastor Henry Wright. Committed to spreading God’s love and healing, Be in Health in Georgia runs the For My Life Program, which has healed people such as Mark.

In 2009, Mark was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a digestive disease that causes a lot of pain. He was put on prescription medication that over time proved unhelpful. A counselor told him about Be In Health and its healing works.

Mark joined the For My Life program. Here, he learned that the spiritual cause of his illness was fear. The teachings helped him get over his fear by realizing that God loved him and because of His undying love, he could live without fear. Two weeks after completing the program, Mark was completely healed of ulcerative colitis.

Since being healed, Mark no longer goes to the hospital or takes any medicine. His pain is gone, so he no longer has to lose money on medical examinations and consultations, and on top of that, his knowledge of God and His Word has increased.

The Be in Health ministry of Thomaston, Georgia, originated when its founder, Pastor Henry Wright, personally discovered the power of faith and the need for spiritual healing when dealing with illness. After establishing its Georgia congregation, Be in Health soon broadened its scope to teach how the wisdom of the Scriptures can impart strength in all aspects of life. To do so, it founded the For My Life program, a monthly ministry series that gathers attendees to Thomaston for a week-long educational session to learn about the principles of spiritual health.

Each December, however, the For My Life series adds a new element, appropriate for the approaching season of giving. This December session is known as the City of Refuge, and waives the usual tuition in favor of a single $25 fee, with the rest of the ministry’s operating costs covered by the generosity of co-sponsors. In this manner, the gifts of a whole and healthy spirit are not only imparted to the attendees, but also to those who are willing to make such charitable donations. Though they may appear to have only brief significance, Biblical scripture teaches that such acts of giving benefit both the giver and receiver.

Modern medicine has recently begun to realize the truth of this concept. Researchers in search of the connection between altruism and happiness have seen the proof of it through MRI scans. Gestures of compassion trigger the same areas of the brain that activate when experiencing other enjoyable, fulfilling activities, but have the potential to last much longer, creating a very real sense of peace and contentment. Likewise, psychologists have theorized that acts of generosity bring a significance and purpose that many don’t realize they are lacking. When people satisfy their own needs, they fulfill a small and momentary desire, but providing for the needs of others makes them feel more valuable to humanity at large, and thus actually increases their sense of self-worth even as they part with things from the material world.
