After spreading its message of hope throughout the community since 2003, the Huntsville-based Power of Faith Ministry is expanding to the Internet with their newest program entitled “’POF Healthbeat”.
Through the new program, Dyvette Warren, a physician’s assistant at the Sam Houston Family Clinic, provides listeners with medical advice in the form of a free podcast available on the POF Ministry website.
According to Ramona Onyina, president of POF Ministry, POF Healthbeat was designed and implemented in order to allow members of the community to gain free knowledge and information about how to stay healthy and safe.
“This program was administered in order to keep the body, which is the temple of God, healthy,” Onyina said. “You can even go online and e-mail to ask questions directly - it’s almost like having your own personal physician on hand.”
The first topic available through POF Healthbeat concerns swine flu with the next segment scheduled to focus on summer safety. Onyina said the organization is also working on producing a segment about heart disease. New episodes are available every two weeks and are usually from 5-6 minutes long.
While the POF Healthbeat program may be the latest vision for POF Ministry, its message holds true to the focus of the organization as a place where members of the community can grow in their personal faith.
“We pretty much spread God’s Word to the lost and those who would like to know more about Jesus Christ as a whole,” Onyina said. “We’re just trying to spread God’s Word the best way we can through the community and the world.”
POF Ministry will also be hosting the first Fourth of July celebration led by a Christian organization in Huntsville today at the Texas Prison Museum from 7-10 p.m.
