Ultimate Mission/Healthy Heart

Vol. 1 Issue 1

Our Humble Beginning

An elderly gentleman and I were working to feed the
homeless in Portland Oregon at OBryant square. His
name was Lyn Burlin. He had started this program and had
fed over 300 people every Sunday for the last fifteen
years. He said Jim, I am as old as dirt and I havent much
time left on this planet but I believe that we are standing on
the boarder of the Promised Land. I have this dream of
starting an organization called Caleb Corps. This
organization will work to finish spreading the message of
Over 3000 children under the age of five die every day
in India We are training women in India to save them.

Jesus to the world. I think you should lead this program,

what do you say?
That was in 2009. Lyn was right he didnt have much time
left, he went to sleep in Jesus Jan 22 2013 but not before
we started a 501c3 nonprofit organization called Caleb
Corps. We changed the name from Caleb Corps to
Ultimate Mission but the vision of spreading the gospel to
the world stayed the same.

Thinking Big
We believe that it will take all of us working together to
finish the work that Jesus called us to do in Matthew 28:
19, 20. Thats why we started Ultimate Mission by working

run a Bible worker training program for lay people.
Our next project was to bring Messiahs Mansion (a full
size replica of the Mosaic sanctuary) to the Portland
Adventist Academy where we were able to welcome 8000
people to the program.

Healthy Heart Health Nuggets

The Secret of Health
By Don Lorenson
According to the popular science fiction novel

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy the answer to

the meaning of life, the universe and everything is
42. Maybe 42 could be the answer to health.
Eating 42 servings of fruit and vegetables a week
certainly falls within the National Cancer society
and the American Heart Associations
recommendations of 5-9 servings a day. I think
42 minutes of exercise every day would be pretty
good. I bet limiting sitting to 42 minutes at a time
would work pretty well too. In the Northwest
where sunlight is in short supply, maybe 42
minutes of sunlight a day is a good idea? There is
lots of research to indicate moderate exposure to
sunlight is helpful. I dont think 42 hours of sleep
a week is enough, 56 is better. I dont think 42
ounces of water a day is enough; 64 is better.
Maybe Ponce De Leon was right instead. The
fountain of youth could be plenty of fresh pure
water. The benefits of water are well proven;
more energy, less infections, better circulation,
and the list goes on.
My experience with thousands of patients over
the years suggests to me that the answer is even
simpler than that. It is not difficult to teach people
about health. The airwaves and internet are
saturated with information about health. Still we
are plagued by heart disease, diabetes, obesity
and cancer. If the answer was as simple as
teaching everybody about healthy living we would
be done. So the question is, why do people that
know better do unhealthy things? The answer is,
because they think it is fun and easy.
So that is the answer. If you thought health was
fun and easy you would do it. Fun itself is
healthy. The research is pretty clear. Spending
time with friends is good for you. Happiness itself
improves health and longevity. People are
hardwired from birth. The greatest motivator is
pleasure. The good news is that being healthy
really is fun. You feel better and you have more
energy to do fun things. So keep it easy and
make it fun.
Pick one fun activity today and do it. Pick one
more fun activity tomorrow. In 42 days you will
have 42 healthy activities and maybe the fountain
of youth

Imagine raising your children on $600 a year. The
streets are dirty the schools are bad. Open sewers,
dirty water and a scarcity of food are just a way of
life. And then someone gives you a ray of hope, a
chance to feed and take care of your children, a
chance to give them a future. Not only do you have
a chance to help your children, you are given the
tools to help every child in your neighborhood and
with $40 more a month your income is almost
doubled. Your prayers have been answered. Your
children will be fed and you actually get paid to do
what you love most and have always done;
introduce people to Jesus.
Ultimate Mission is going to train women basic
health principals such as: clean water safety (we
have a very good way to give them clean water),
hygiene, early child development and basic first aid.
If the women can simply teach the children in their
village to drink clean water and wash their hands
we can save thousands of children from disease
and early death.
We are going to train these women and then pay
them $40 a month to work full time as village
lifestyle and health instructors. We will also promote
literacy classes for women as a parallel program in
order to empower them to raise healthy children.

Whatever God Asks

It was a crazy day at an Oregon Camp Meeting where I was coordinating a series of meetings featuring Doug Bachelor. I
was in the middle of what I like to call controlled chaos when an 82 year old woman tapped me on the shoulder and said,
Sir; I have a health program I want to tell you about. I was going five directions at once trying to coordinate volunteers,
outreach sign ups and hundreds of people looking for seats. The last thing I had time for was to listen to a sweet little old
lady tell me about her pet health project. But this was a sweet little old lady with a persuasive and powerful personality.
Her name was Molly Geddes and she was wise enough to keep it brief and give me the shortened version of the Healthy
Heart program that night. I was immediately intrigued. We made an appointment to meet later where she told me how the
program worked.
She told me that Healthy Heart is a group of volunteer medical professionals that meet at Fred Meyer one day each
month to take blood pressures and coach people to make positive lifestyle changes. What amazed me is that she had
talked Fred Meyer into letting her do this and that they wanted as many medical teams as possible to come into as many
stores as we could handle.
That was in the summer of 2009.We were able to start the second Healthy Heart screening and from there the program
grew to nine stores in three states. Molly has since retired but not before she cajoled me into taking over the program. It is
a lot of work but it is also a tremendous privilege to direct the Ultimate Mission and Healthy Heart programs. It is amazing
to think of the thousands of lives that we are able to touch. I am so excited about our expansion into India and I pray for
our continued growth across the United States.
I believe that we are on the boarders of the Promised Land; God is calling us to go over and possess the land, teach the
world the message of love and salvation, finish the work and go home. I believe that it is time to let go of the world and
reset our priorities to, wherever God takes us, whatever God asks.
