Nature’s Immune Builders: Introduction
AMEN is committed to using health as the ‘entering wedge’ to share the gospel. The COVID-19 pandemic provides us with an opportunity to do this. Therefore AMEN has created ‘Nature’s Immune Builders’ which includes resources for you to personally share with your friends, colleagues, and neighbors. Our desire is relationships will be strengthened as you share these life saving principles and ultimately open the door for you to share the love of Christ.
Our world is in crisis. COVID-19 has unearthed humanity’s vulnerability to a virulent new disease that begins its work by disarming the body’s natural immune defense. Public health efforts aim to reduce transmission through vaccination, social distancing, hygiene, and mask-wearing. Medical science research is focused primarily on developing treatments for late-phase disease.
What’s missing? A comprehensive strategy to enhance the body’s innate and acquired immune response. The Adventist health message has never been more relevant than now. To meet this urgent need AMEN has developed Nature’s Immune Builders, a web-based plan to quickly and efficiently transform our churches into lifesaving beacons of hope, health, and healing, and to equip every member to be a medical missionary for such a time as this. Anchored in Scripture, informed by science, and illuminated by the writings of Ellen White, Nature’s Immune Builders incorporates heaven’s natural remedies into a shareable action plan for churches now.
A comprehensive natural remedies and healthy lifestyle plan to equip Seventh-day Adventists to bring light and blessing to their communities.
Goal
To mobilize Seventh-day Adventists to effectively share Biblically-based, scientifically sound, health-saving principles that can help their neighbors, friends, and communities fight COVID-19. We believe the pandemic provides us with an opportunity to use medical evangelism as the ‘entering wedge’, ultimately opening the door to engage people in spiritual conversations and introduce them to the true healer – Jesus Christ.

AMEN’s scientifically sound, evidence-based, practical resources can be used by church members to have a major impact on their communities. It is urgent for us to be the lights in our community to dispel the darkness of disease by sharing these simple, effective health principles.
Sickness is debilitating to the mind as well as to the body. When we are sick it’s much easier to get discouraged and depressed. One of the tragic things about COVID-19 is the isolation it has brought to those who are suffering. The gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke recount the story of a hopeless, desperate, disease-plagued woman who reaches out and touches the hem of Christ’s garment. Her story contains great spiritual lessons for us as we seek to share Christ’s healing love.
Sharing Tips
This isn’t so much about preparing what you will say as learning to ask effective, engaging questions. The response you get will help you determine what resource would be best to share. It’s easy to engage people from all walks of life in conversation: Your hairdresser, grocery checkout clerk, plumber, neighbor, friend, your online friend community, fellow church members, city and county officials, community leaders, business owners, school teachers, and parents, strangers. If you feel uncomfortable starting a conversation with a stranger, start with someone you know.
