Health Ministries



MISSION STATEMENT: Changing lives, throughout the ARKLA territory, with the distinct message of Christ's overwhelming healing power."

It is our goal to encourage our church members to adopt a healthful lifestyle, which includes the following areas: physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing. By maintaining a well balanced lifestyle, we not only make a positive impact in our lives and those around us, but we expose ourselves to fully experiencing God’s presence and His will for us.

 

MARJORIE
BÉLIZAIRE

Health Ministries Director

DOWNS

Administrative Assistant

     Born in Florida, but grew up in New York, Dr. Marjorie Bélizaire is an accomplished physician and educator that has made it her life’s goal to encourage others to come to Christ. She believes in using the unique health message to help win souls for the kingdom. A fifth-generation Seventh-day Adventist, the granddaughter of a conference president and the wife of an ordained pastor, Dr. Bélizaire believes in the Seventh-day Adventist message and is a proud proponent of it. For more than 15 years, Dr. Bélizaire has worked as a physician, educator, speaker and musician. She intertwines her unique perspective of watching and educating others through the prism of an educator as well as a clinician, focusing on the whole aspect of a person. The idea of intermixing all aspects of health can only be to the betterment of the whole individual which will ultimately positively affect the community at large. This she believes will help effectively evangelize. Telling others the good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ can only improve one’s quality of life as it is truly the best medicine!

    In addition to being married to the love of her life Pastor Virgo Bélizaire, she is also the mother of three children: André Emmanuel, Amélie Elise and Alain Élie. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with family, singing, reading and playing the piano. Dr. Bélizaire aspires to have a tripartite role of: loving mother and wife, caring friend/counselor and a God-fearing health ministries and health evangelism director simultaneously. Dr. Bélizaire’s motto is: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and with Christ success is sure! Continue to pray for her as she aids others throughout the Arkansas-Louisiana territory.

“The principles of health reform are found in the Word of God. The gospel of health is to be firmly linked with the ministry of the Word. It is the Lord's design that the restoring influence of health reform shall be a part of the last great effort to proclaim the gospel message.”-Ellen White—Medical Ministry, 259 (1899).

“Medical missionary work is the right hand of the gospel. It is necessary to the advancement of the cause of God. As through it men and women are led to see the importance of right habits of living, the saving power of the truth will be made known. Every city is to be entered by workers trained to do medical missionary work. As the right hand of the third angel's message, God's methods of treating disease will open doors for the entrance of present truth.”-Ellen White—Testimonies For The Church 7:59 (1902).”
