Churches/Organizations

RWM & Master Fitness 21 are working with churches, ministries, and other organizations to develop and implement fitness programming that will assist those within the organization in achieving a healthy lifestyle. We have taken notice that the body of Christ has not proven to be oblivious to the epidemic of obesity. In fact, in churches and other religious organizations that do not have health awareness programming as a normal part of ministry activities, the obesity prevalence factor is actually slightly higher than the national average.

 

It is important to understand believers cannot function optimally in their ministerial duties when they are not in prime physical condition. Outside of the multitudinous illnesses and diseases associated with obesity, lack of energy and mental focus are also associated with the disease. As believers we are slowly rendering ourselves dysfunctional and incapable of kingdom work.

We will liaison with the designated point of contact with each organization and develop as program that is specific to the needs of that ministry and its followers. We will provide the necessary resources and information to equip each believer with the tools necessary to not only engage obesity, but defeat it.

One thing is for certain, if we don’t address this issue and do it in a hurry, the repercussions will be devastating and take decades to reverse. We fear diseases such as cancer and HIV/Aids, but obesity is responsible for far more deaths annually and the numbers are rising. More than 776 thousand men and 1.9 million women will be diagnosed as being obese this year alone. At the current trend, in less than two years the national obesity rate will have moved from >50% to >75% in less than 2 ½ years.

We encourage every church, ministry, and organization that does not have a fitness initiative in place to contact us immediately. Please call 214-755-1509 or email rpw@rickwallaceministries.com.
