Two Major Events This Week at Hallelujah Acres
Oct 19th
Back in July, when Rev. Malkmus spoke in Branson, Missouri, Jim Bakker learned he was in town. He asked Rev. Malkmus to appear on his television show, “The Jim Bakker Show.” Brother Bakker was so excited to learn what Hallelujah Acres was doing that he asked us to return for another appearance.
But this second appearance was not just another one-hour show, it was a full week! Five one-hour shows plus additional filming is now taking place on the set of The Jim Bakker Show, featuring Kevin and Jennifer Van Kirk who own and operate The Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Center in Branson, Missouri.
Filming, which takes place October 18-22, can be watched LIVE on the internet via streaming video, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Central Time.
If you miss the live streaming video, you can click here to find a TV station near you where the show will air approximately 10 days after filming.
Jennifer Van Kirk wanted us to share this with you regarding their exciting opportunity:
Dear Friends, God is truly blessing us and providing opportunities to get the word out about healthy living. Kevin and I are excited to announce the dates and times that we will be guests on the Jim Bakker Show. We will be giving [the studio audience] a taste of what it is like to attend a Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Center.
There will be food prep demonstrations, health tips, question/answer sessions, nationally know guest speakers such as Jerrod Sessler (NASCAR driver and stage-four metastasized melanoma survivor), Michael Sustar (recovered from Multiple Sclerosis having had multiple lesions on the brain), as well as Paul and Ann Malkmus from Hallelujah Acres headquarters.

10th Annual Women’s Retreat Just Weeks Away
Oct 6th
Hallelujah Acres held its first Women’s Retreat in 1999, and it was a wonderful success. Over 300 women from across America gathered here at Hallelujah Acres for what was the best event we had ever sponsored up to that time. Because of the incredible interest in that event, we held consecutive Women’s Retreats for the next six years.
Then in 2005, in response to a number of women who wanted their husbands and children to be able to come and learn this exciting information also, we substituted a Family Conference for the Women’s Retreat. This Family Conference was a great success also. However, many women lamented not having a Women’s Retreat and asked us to “PLEASE” reconsider reinstating the Women’s Retreat. In response to these pleas, we reinstated the Women’s Retreat in 2006. More >
