Great Seminar in New Bern, NC This Past Weekend
Aug 16th
This past Friday we drove the six hours from Shelby to New Bern, NC arriving early evening.
Saturday after a beautiful early morning walk along the Neuse River we were at the seminar location by 9:00 to greet the people who had come from many miles around. One lady and her husband had driven down from Virginia to attend the seminar.
In attendance at the seminar was a lady who gave testimony that I had led her to the Lord 42 years ago while pastoring the Faith Missionary Baptist Church in Trenton, North Carolina. In her testimony she went on to say that two months ago she adopted the Hallelujah Diet and was already off all medications and had her health back. I was so thrilled that I had been able to not only bring her Spiritual Life, but also had helped her restore her Physical Health.
After the seminar I was able to spend some time with an old buddy pastor of mine with whom I had great fellowship with while pastoring at Faith Missionary Baptist Church. Brother Bill has been the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in New Bern for over 40 years. We had a great time of reminiscing.
Rhonda and I drove the six hours home after that, arriving before midnight.
We had an incredible day in church yesterday, attending all services: Sunday School, Morning and Evenings Services. Our church has an attendance of 500 to 600 in both the Sunday Morning and Evening services. And I have never heard music like we have in this church. The services begin with a choir of 90 singing with such power it stirs my soul and then the preaching is some of the best I have ever heard in the over 50 years since I gave my heart to Jesus.
Tuesday of this week I am scheduled to have lunch with our local US Congressman and Wednesday lunch with the guests spending the week at our Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Center in Lake Lure, North Carolina.
Friday we drive down to Spartanburg, South Carolina where I have a seminar scheduled in the First Baptist Church of Roebuck, a suburb of Spartanburg, on Saturday morning. The following week we have seminars scheduled in Cincinnati and Bowling Green, Ohio. Appreciate your prayers for safe travel and that many will be helped and blessed.
If you live near any of these upcoming seminars, I trust you will come and learn the reason why so many are so excited about the health message Hallelujah Acres is proclaiming. People are so excited that they will travel from across America and around the world to learn more. These seminars are free of charge and those who attend will be given a free copy of our magazine, The Hallelujah Acres Health News, which includes a 4-page pull-out explaining The Hallelujah Diet in detail.
HA Cafe Featured in Spartanburg Herald-Journal

The following article by Gary Glancy featuring the Hallellujah Acres Café appeared in the July 25, 2010 Sunday edition of the Spartanburg (SC) Herald-Journal.
Students Learn Vegan Cooking at Hallelujah Acres
Through the years we have had many fine articles written regarding the Hallelujah Acres ministry and what we have to offer here at Hallelujah Acres, but I believe this article is one of the finest. Often an article is lacking accuracy, but I couldn’t find a single thing in this article that wasn’t right on.
This article introduced many new people, who live in northern South Carolina and southern North Carolina to Hallelujah Acres. Ever since the article appeared, we have had first time visitors in our Café almost every day. Many of them also showed up for my First Saturday-of-the-month seminar this past Saturday.
On Saturday, August 21, at 10:30 A.M., Rev. Malkmus will share his “God’s Way to Ultimate Health” seminar at the First Baptist Church of Robuck (a suburb of Spartanburg). The church is located at 3825 South Church Street Extension. For more information contact Hallelujah Acres at 800-915-9355.
Seminar This Past Weekend Nearly Filled Our Auditorium
Aug 10th
When I began my “God’s Way to Ultimate Health” seminar at Hallelujah Acres this past Saturday, August 7th, the 300 seats we had set up before the seminar began were nearly full. But the people kept coming and kept coming and our staff kept setting up more and more tables and chairs, until about 30 minutes after the seminar had begun, our 400 seat auditorium was almost full.
People attending the seminar were here from across America as well as from Canada, England, Austria, and Belgium. One lady from Michigan had driven 700 miles, all by herself on Friday, in order to be here for Rhonda’s Culinary Class and my seminar. Some came to the seminar on crutches and others in wheelchairs.
One family from Florida had flown to the Shelby airport in their private plane to attend the seminar and then to spend time with Stuart following the seminar looking at the possibility of building a home in our residential community, The Villages of Hallelujah Acres, which is located just across the road from Hallelujah Acres International Headquarters.
I wish you could have heard the folks share before the seminar began all the health benefits they had experienced after adopting the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle: They shared of cancers gone, diabetes gone, congestive heart failure gone, arthritis gone, blood pressure now normal, and the testimonies went on and on and included weight losses of as much as 80 pounds.
My next scheduled “God’s Way to Ultimate Health” seminars are scheduled for August 21 in Spartanburg, South Carolina; August 27 in Cincinnati, Ohio; August 28 in Bowling green, Ohio; and September 4, back here in Shelby, North Carolina. Click here for all our God’s Way On The Road seminars.
If you live anywhere near any of these upcoming seminars, I trust you will come and learn the reason why so many are excited about the health message Hallelujah Acres is proclaiming that they will travel from across America and around the world to learn more. Not only is there no charge for the seminar, but those who attend will be given a free copy of our magazine, The Hallelujah Acres Health News, which includes a 4-page pull-out explaining The Hallelujah Diet in detail.
15 Fruits and Veggies Relatively Clean Of Pesticide Residues
Aug 2nd
Last week we shared the “Dirty Dozen” list – a group of 12 fruits and vegetables found to be high in pesticide content.
In an attempt to raise awareness about pesticide use, the Environment Working Group reviewed 100,000 produce pesticide reports from the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and put together a list of the “Dirty Dozen”, or those that contain the highest amount of pesticide residues.
According to the Environmental Working Group’s Amy Rosenthal, if you want to reduce pesticide exposure you do not have to go 100 percent organic: “You can reduce your exposure to pesticides by up to 80 percent by buying the organic version of the “Dirty Dozen,” she says.
Now we’re ready for the “Clean 15.” These are the 15 fruits and vegetables that the EWG claims are relatively clean of pesticide residues.
- Onions
- Avocados
- Sweet Corn
- Pineapples
- Mango
- Sweet peas
- Asparagus
- Kiwi fruit
- Cabbage
- Eggplant
- Cantaloupe
- Watermelon
- Grapefruit
- Sweet Potatoes
- Sweet Onions
12 Fruits and Veggies Make the “Dirty Dozen” List
Jul 26th
In an attempt to raise awareness about pesticide use, the Environment Working Group (EWG) reviewed 100,000 produce pesticide reports from the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and put together a list of the “Dirty Dozen,” of produce that contains the highest amount of pesticide residues.
According to the EWG’s Amy Rosenthal, if you want to reduce pesticide exposure you do not have to go 100 percent organic. “You can reduce your exposure to pesticides by up to 80 percent by buying the organic version of the Dirty Dozen.”
Following is the Dirty Dozen list:
- Celery
- Peaches
- Strawberries
- Apples
- Domestic Blueberries
- Nectarines
- Sweet Bell Peppers
- Spinach, Kale, and Collard greens
- Cherries
- Potatoes (white)
- Imported Grapes
- Lettuce
When Hallelujah Acres first began promoting organic produce, there were few places to purchase it and the cost was outrageous.
Fortunately, as time has passed, more people have started demanding organic produce after becoming aware of the potential toxins contained in or on fresh produce. The number of stores carrying organic produce has greatly increased and the costs have come down.
Rhonda and I have known for years that most of the items on the list above were ones we needed to buy organic or not eat. Finding the greens such as spinach, kale, collards, and lettuce on the list, however, was a surprise. For sure we will buy only organically raised greens in the future, or raise our own in our organic garden.
Farmers Markets might also be a place to buy greens that have not been sprayed with poison. Before purchasing greens there it might be good to ask the farmer if they have been sprayed.
In next week’s Health Tip, we will list the 15 vegetables and fruits the EWG has designated as being “clean” – that is relatively clean of pesticide residues.
Rev. Malkmus & Rhonda Home after 3,000 Mile Speaking Tour
Jul 26th
Rhonda and I arrived home safely this past Saturday afternoon (July 24) after spending eleven days on the road, driving 2,879 miles, delivering three seminars, and taping two 1-hour television programs. As always it is so good to be home and sleeping in our own beds. Motels are nice when on the road, but there is no place like home!
Thank you so much for your prayers for our safe return!
The Algona, Iowa seminar only had about 150 people in attendance, but when you consider that Algona is a very small farming town in north central Iowa surrounded by cornfields and soybean fields for miles and miles around, that 150 number sounds pretty good. Over half of the people attending had driven at least three hours to attend and several had driven over six hours. It was a good meeting.
Our seminar in Independence, Missouri was a unique one – About two hours before the seminar was to begin, the worst thunder and lightning storm of the season (so I was told) hit town, and continued on and off throughout the evening. They were expecting 600 in attendance and no doubt that number would have shown up if it had not been for the storm. In spite of the storm we had over 300.
Then at one point during the seminar, popping sounds in the ceiling started and with each pop, showers of sparks rained down on the people. I urged the people to remain calm as the ushers moved the people from the area where the sparks were falling as I continued on with the seminar. The air conditioning unit was turned off on a very hot evening, but we did complete the seminar without any further problems and the people lingered for over an hour asking questions after the seminar ended.
Our seminar in the Keeter Center at the College of the Ozarks in Branson, Missouri had some 300 in attendance and we were told that was the largest number they had ever had in the auditorium on the college campus.
While in Branson we had the privilege of staying at the Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Center in Golden, Missouri (located just outside of Branson). Kevin and Jenifer VanKirk are the owners and hosts of the Lifestyle Center and are wonderful caring people. Their home, located on the shores of Table Rock Lake is rustic and yet has all the amenities including private baths for each room.
Several days before our arrival in Branson, Jennifer had contact with television Evangelist Jim Baker who is developing 600 acres of land into a Christian village called Morningside in Branson. On the campus they have their television studios and when he learned that we were coming to Branson he wanted all of us – Rhonda and myself, Kevin and Jennifer, to all be on his television show.
Jim Bakker was so excited we were there and the first thing he shared with us was that he was on a 100% plant based diet and in just the first four weeks of making the diet change was off all his diabetic medications and his blood sugar levels were normal. We taped one 1-hour show and then he asked us to do another. They will be telecast in about two weeks over Daystar and TBN, as well as on the internet around the world. I believe he said the viewing audience in the U.S. alone is over 58 Million.
This was an added bonus and for sure came as an unexpected opportunity to share God’s Health Message with a potential audience of millions of people around the world. They said that one of the countries they receive a tremendous response from is China. By the way, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Contraras have recently done shows on Jim Baker’s television programs as well.
Our next scheduled “God’s Way to Ultimate Health” seminars are scheduled for August 7 in Shelby, North Carolina; August 14 in New Bern, North Carolina and August 21 near Spartanburg, South Carolina. If any of these locations are near where you live, we hope to see you there.
