Seventh Day Adventist Christians who reportedly live an average of 10 years longer than most, will on Sunday May 1st 2016 call all from near and far, to Move to Live! This initiative is being spearheaded by the Health Department of the Saint Lucia Mission of Seventh Day Adventists. It will feature an ambitious and fun brisk walking activity. According to the Mission’s Health and Publishing Director, Pastor Lucius Phillip, every effort to respect the human body as the temple of the Holy Spirit finds its authority in pivotal, bible-based principles. The Move to Live initiative, which was first observed in July of 2014 has as a primary objective to promote a culture of good physical health in Saint Lucia so that citizens might live longer, more fulfilled and productive lives, benefitting not only the Christian church, but also the whole society. This event is gradually becoming an annual sensation amongst Christians, health fanatics and fun lovers alike.
For individuals with a T-Shirt, registration fee is only $10.00 and for those who desire the official Move to Live T-Shirt, registration is only $30.00 Accordingly, participants have the option of choosing either the northern route, which starts from the Super J car park in Cul De Sac, or the southern route which starts from the Micoud Playing field and ends at the Dennery Secondary School. The walk will commence from 4:00 a.m. from each of the respective sites and end at 10:30 am. There will be tokens for the youngest, oldest walker and the church with the most participants along with other attractive gifts. Prospective walkers are encouraged to register early at the Saint Lucia SDA Mission office in Lance Road or register with any local health Ministry’s leader.
