Women’s Retreat A Great Success
Oct 24th
This past Thursday evening our auditorium was almost full with ladies coming from 30 different states in the United States as well as several other countries including Mexico and the Republic of Congo.
We had a number of women who brought along their teenage daughters so we had quite a diverse group! Ages ranged from 13 to 88.
The three-day retreat began with a half-hour of gospel songs by Bud and Barbara Lee. The Lees’ unique artistry and soul-stirring musical expressions presented an unforgettable worship experience.
Jackie Pegram, in full time-period garb, followed the Lees. Her Biblical impression of Abraham’s wife, Sarah, included how her lineage led to the birth of our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ. Her presentation drew a standing ovation!
After Jackie’s presentation, many ladies shared how their health has improved after adopting The Hallelujah Diet.
At least 40 ladies shared of reversal of cancers, diabetes, arthritis, and high blood pressure and cholesterol. Many also reported weight losses of up to 100 pounds! These testimonies are always a highlight!
On Friday, I (Rev. Malkmus) had the privilege of speaking, followed by Paul and Ann Malkmus‘ exercise break. Up next was a riveting address by our keynote speaker, Dr. Pam Popper who is featured in the plant-based food documentary, Forks Over Knives. We can’t wait to have her back at Hallelujah Acres!
Friday afternoon, Tim and Anita Koch, owners of the Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Center in Lake Lure, NC demonstrated the recipes that were featured during a special dinner that evening!
For dessert, Joanne Cash treated us to her testimony of how Jesus rescued her from a life of drugs and alcohol. She sang several songs, including a duo via CD with her brother, the late, great Johnny Cash.
On Saturday, Suzy Hoseus shared how The Hallelujah Diet helped her overcome bipolar disorder, giving her a new lease on life. Suzy is a Hallelujah Acres Health Minister and has written a book titled Healing Bipolar and Depression.
Suzy was followed by April Tunsky, a keynote speaker for the Vaccine Information Coalition (VIC). She shared the tragedies associated with vaccines, especially autism, which contributed to the death of her own daughter.
Olin Idol, Hallelujah Acres’ Vice President of Health rounded the presentations with Our Children’s Stolen Future. In his address he shared how, both spiritually and nutritionally, our children’s future is being stolen from them.
Rhonda Malkmus, Co-Founder of Hallelujah Acres and wife of Rev. George Malkmus, concluded the three days with a biblical presentation that began with God being the Creator to an invitation to accept His Son, Jesus Christ.
Beverley Coad, past Deputy Coordinator of Lydia Prayer Fellowship International, was emcee for the Women’s Retreat. Beverley’s husband, Graeme Coad (former chaplain for the 700 Club) recovered from terminal prostate cancer on The Hallelujah Diet 16 years ago.

Pastors, Nurses, and Everyone In Between
Oct 13th
For the past few weeks we have been sharing a lot of the responses to some of our recent Health Tips. Today, we’re catching up on some of the wonderful health testimonies we have received from people who have seen improvement after adopting The Hallelujah Diet!
“Dr. Malkmus, I have truly enjoyed being a part of your Hallelujah Acres mission. I was introduced to The Hallelujah Diet by a nurse friend of mine who thought I might be interested in it. She was a health nut, and I have now become one too. She loaned me a copy of your seminar ‘God’s Way to Ultimate Health’ video and after watching it ordered two more so that I could share your Health Message with friends, family, and church members.
I have been on The Hallelujah Diet for just over six months and am currently doing the ’60 Day Juice Up’ with Paul and Ann along with a number of other people in my church. I can’t believe what an impact that program is having on people in my church that I would never have dreamed would be interested in a diet change. The surprising thing is that the people I thought would be the most interested are the slower ones to respond.
My next goal is to attend Health Minister training there in Shelby, North Carolina. I am so passionate about your health message that I watch your seminar video once a week so that I can keep focused on why I am doing what I am doing. I love that video and want so much to help you spread God’s health message.
Since making the diet change I have experienced improved eyesight, healthier skin, clarity of mind, and the shedding of some unwanted pounds.”
Gloria A., Odessa, Texas
“Dear Rev. George Malkmus, I recently read your book ‘Why Christians Get Sick.’ As a result of reading your book I have made some changes in my diet and plan to make more changes soon. I have never smoked, drank, and have never missed a Sunday or Wednesday preaching service in 26 years. I praise God for my health and want to cooperate with God in maintaining it for His honor and glory. You and Hallelujah Acres are in my prayers.”
Pastor Dan B., North Manchester, Indiana
“In 2007 I developed breast cancer. It was a wakeup call. Years ago I was on The Hallelujah Diet but that good diet fell by the wayside while fostering four children ages 9, 6, 4, and 2.
After receiving word that I had breast cancer I immediately returned to and adopted The Hallelujah Recovery Diet and here I am four years later completely free of cancer – and that’s not just me saying it, but verified by medical tests.
Interestingly, for the past four years they have not one time asked me to have a mammogram despite my being 64 years old. After each test showing that I am still free of cancer, all they say is ‘just keep on doing what you are doing because it is working’. Sadly they still don’t believe it is the diet that caused my cancer to go away. But I know better!
I have since given up foster care work and so have a lot less stress in my life, because I believe that stress plays a big part in causing illnesses. I have shared The Hallelujah Diet with many people, and those who have adopted it have seen miraculous healings from cancers as well as other physical problems.
I have also stopped donating money to cancer research because I have learned that they are only fronts protecting the cancer industry. I now tell those asking for donations for cancer research that a cure for cancer has already been found in The Hallelujah Diet, but sadly finding a cure is not on their agenda.
I am still after four years, still on The Hallelujah Diet all day and every day. I also love reading your Health Tips, especially the feature articles.”
Trish K., Cooran, Queensland, Australia
“Rev. Malkmus, after 40-plus years of preparing food traditionally, The Hallelujah Diet has brought about a newness and excitement into my food prep. I now look forward to finding meals and snacks to prepare that are healthy, that I never would have known about before.
I grew up as a child listening to Evangelist Lester Roloff on the radio. Listening to Brother Roloff helped confirm that what you and Hallelujah Acres are teaching is correct.
I first learned of Hallelujah Acres when you appeared on WGGS television in Greenville, South Carolina. As a result of listening and watching you, I adopted The Hallelujah Diet, and have experienced a renewal of my health – increased energy, better mood, clearer skin, better blood pressure numbers, and an overall sense of being healthier.
I attended the Women’s Retreat at Hallelujah Acres last year and loved how Rhonda made the ladies feel so special. She is a dear woman and I’m coming back to another Women’s Retreat.”

Reclaiming Health Through Hallelujah Acres Programs!
Nov 13th
You have no idea how much I look forward to receiving letters from our subscribers or how much these letters encourage me to keep on keeping on. I read every one of these letters. Please keep them coming!
“Dear Dr. Malkmus, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I now feel wonderful. Prior to taking your internet challenge, ’60 Days to Reclaim Your Health’, I was one sick lady.
For two years before I adopted The Hallelujah Diet I had MRSA staph infections, guardia, and herpes type 2 skin infections – I was a mess. Now, as a result of making the diet and lifestyle change you promote, my skin is now clear and healthy, no longer dry, my infections and rashes are a thing of the past, and I have lost 20 pounds.
I look and feel so much better! I love the recipes, smoothies, and the juices that have helped me regain my health. Thank You!” Kaye F.
60 Days to Reclaim Your Health, featuring Paul and Ann Malkmus, is a powerhouse of information with more detail and personal instruction than any program we have ever offered. We’ll help you develop a grocery list and give you daily recipes and instructions on how to prepare that recipe. We’ll show you how to read product labels with optimum health in mind and how to select produce. Plus, we’ll show you how to stay on track even when you’re at a restaurant.
“I took the 60 Days to Reclaim Your Health challenge and want to thank Ann and Paul for all their efforts in putting it together. I found the challenge to be so helpful.
I was in Shelby in July and visited the store and purchase some products. To my delight I ran into Dr. Malkmus himself and proceeded to chat with him. I told him I had watched his demonstration video of the ‘Fit 10’ exercise program and was most interested in the program. I purchased it and have been working out with it ever since.
I can do the first 5 minutes of the 10-minute program with high intensity, but so far am unable to run in place for the full 5-minutes of the aerobic portion. I run until I get tired and am gradually working up to the full 5 minutes.
I am pleased with the results thus far and highly recommend the program. The Hallelujah Diet should be a must for everyone. By the way, I am 78 years old and am learning that it is never too late to begin improving one’s health.”
Michael W.
The Fit 10 exercise program comes in a small cloth bag that will fit easily into a suitcase and can be used anywhere there is a door. I personally have been working out on it for the past several years, and it has rewarded me with a muscular body and rock hard abs. Get more information on the Fit 10.
“Thank you for your recent Health Tip article regarding acid and alkalinity. Question: ‘How do we know if our blood is acid or alkaline?”
Carol L.
Your blood will stay very close to a pH of 7.35 if you eat a primarily alkaline forming diet (The Hallelujah Diet). There is no need trying to determine the blood’s pH. The body does what is necessary to keep in balanced when we eat an alkalizing diet.
Rave Reviews For The Recent Women’s Retreat!
“I want to thank you Dr. Malkmus, your wife, and all the staff there at Hallelujah Acres, as well as the guest speakers you had at this year’s Women’s Retreat. My mother, sister-in-law, my sister-in-law’s mother and her friend, as well as myself and my 15-month-old daughter, had a wonderful time! We were so blessed to be a part of this amazing retreat.”
Susannah D.
“Rhonda, Thank you so very much for a great 10th Annual Women’s Retreat. When I returned to our church the Pastor allowed me to speak briefly in both services about the weekend and how the Lord had healed me through the Hallelujah Acres ministry.
After the services the folks approached me with such enthusiasm, wanting to know more about The Hallelujah Diet. I will continue believing with every fiber of my being that the people in my church will make the diet change that has restored me to health. Thank you for being a ‘sold out’ vessel for Christ.” Ronda A.
“Hi Rhonda, Thanks for all your hard work to make the Women’s Retreat an awesome event! I enjoyed it immensely and came home excited about what the Lord had done. I thought it was the best Women’s Retreat thus far. They just keep getting better and better! I’m already looking forward to the next one.”
“I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the recent Women’s Retreat. I have told all of my clients (I am a massage therapist) about The Hallelujah Diet which I have been on for the past 15 years.”
Women’s Retreat A Resounding Success
Oct 25th
Nearly 300 ladies packed the main auditorium here at Hallelujah Acres this past weekend.
Attendees came from 27 different states, from as far away as California, Arizona, and Texas to the southwest; Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana to the midwest; Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York to the north; as well as Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Missouri to the south and numerous states in between. We even had visitors from Hawaii and Canada.
Dozens of ladies shared how they had adopted The Hallelujah Diet and had recovered from such problems as cancer, fibromyalgia, diabetes, arthritis, and migraines. Several also reported normalized blood pressure and cholesterol readings, and many had testimonies of weight loss — including several who had shed over 100 pounds each!
These testimonies of restored health always set the stage for what follows. Those who have been on The Hallelujah Diet rejoice in their improved health, while those who are not yet on the diet get excited as they realize that there is hope for restored health!
The music was inspirational and soul stirring, the food was delicious, and the speakers were outstanding. Following are a few of the glowing comments we received:
“This has been a wonderful, renewing, spiritually uplifting, encouraging, informative, positive weekend. How wonderful it was to hear a medical doctor presenting in such a spiritually encouraging way how to live healthy lives.”
“Bless you for all that you do. There was perfect leading by the Holy Spirit, perfect balance between the spiritual and nutritional. Don’t change a thing.”
“You far exceeded my expectations – great speakers, delicious food, very inspirational music, great organization. You all did a fantastic job! Keep up the good work! Thank you Rhonda for a SUPER Ladies Retreat! I’m looking forward to next year’s Women’s Retreat already.”
The dates for next year’s 11th Annual Women’s Retreat are Thursday through Saturday, October 20-22, 2011.
It’s not too soon to mark these dates on your calendar!
Start making plans to attend next year’s event… and invite your friends!
