Hernando pastor preaches about healthy lifestyles
By WMC-TV Hernando, MS | August 23, 2011
A Hernando reverend is preaching about more than Jesus from
the pulpit - he's also telling his congregation to give up a diet of
fried food.
After recently
being featured in the New York Times, Pastor Michael Minor of Oak Hill
Baptist Church in Hernando is proud of his efforts in the fight against
obesity and bad health.
Now,
his church and many others are adopting the National Baptist Congress
Health Outreach and Prevention Education Initiative, known as H.O.P.E.
"Our
goal is that every National Baptist church will have a trained health
ambassador - not just a person who is talking health, but a person who
really knows what to talk about," Minor said Monday.
Minor's plan is to inspire people to live healthier lifestyles...
