Profile: Springs of Health

Lifestyle Magazine & Web Pages

In 1995 Springs of Health began publishing a bimonthly magazine that was distributed throughout Czech Republic and Slovakia, covering a wide range of lifestyle topics including mental health, family, ecology, and natural remedies. More recently the ministry published several books.

In addition to the magazine and books, thousands of free articles are available on Springs of Health’s website, and the site attracts around 1,000 visitors each day.

NEWSTART Lifestyle Programs

Six to eight times a year the ministry rents a hotel in a quiet location to host a lifestyle program. Many guests are pleased with the results of the seven- day program, which includes a vegan diet, massages, fresh air and daily walks.

Guests also attend cooking classes and lifestyle lectures, fellowship together, and soak up the fresh air in the beautiful Czech countryside; cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight are lowered, while spirits soar.

Lifestyle Institute (Medical Missionary School)

Springs of Health offers various training courses, long distance as well as intensive, during the school year. Through the study of subjects connected to health and a practical work program, the ministry prepares students to better serve others. Many of the graduates go on to become health missionaries.

Health Lectures & Expos

During the year, the Springs of Health team holds various seminars on lifestyle, nutrition, and natural remedies, as well as participates at health expos and evangelistic campaigns organized by sister organizations. Recently the staff worked closely in studies on diabetes with one of Prague’s biggest hospitals.

The History and the Future

For the past twenty years, Springs of Health activities formed a part of Country Life Prague’s ministry. While the two ministries are no longer functioning as one organization, there is still a close cooperation between the two.

Springs of Health’s current plans are to focus primarily on expanding and enhancing its lifestyle training programs. A newly opened community center in downtown Prague is serving the needs of the urban community, but the team’s dream is to one day build a lifestyle center in the country.
