Country Life Basel is located just a half-mile away from France and Germany in the German part of Switzerland. In 1987, after three years of working and studying the principles of supporting ministries, a group of four men opened the doors to Country Life Health Food Store. It was founded for the purpose of teaching and practicing total health through prevention and treatment of diseases, combined with the use of natural remedies.
Country Life Vegetarian Restaurant and Health Food Stores have the opportunity to minister to the people of Basel through cooking classes, Bible studies, and health seminars. Also established is a wellness center where health profiles are done. The profiles include blood pressure, pulse, weight, dietary and family disease history, daily exercise, and other lifestyle practices such as smoking or drinking. Then counseling is provided by trained personnel.
Country Life organizes, annually, a two week Lifestyle Session in the Swiss mountains. Between 80 to 120 people benefit from these programs and experience a substantial lifestyle change.
Every department is designed to be an opportunity for further outreach, such as the wholesale foods department which supports public evangelism. Your prayers are needed that this strategically located ministry may succeed.
