How healthy are Southern Baptists?
The Executive Summary Report recommended that the leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention provide more health promotion events to increase health awareness and to encourage the leadership of SBC organizations to implement corporate health ministries to reduce health risks of employees and reduce health care costs of the organizations. The report concluded that, “Investing in the health of Southern Baptist ministers and restoring wellness to their lives is one of the best investments you can make for Kingdom work. Someone wisely said that if we don’t take time for wellness, we will be forced to take time for illness.” Wendy Ashley is Communcations Development Leader and staff writer for GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention.
