PHW Success Story – Pathway to Peace Ministries, Peachland

Willona Stallings, Former Program Coordinator – Partners in Health & Wholeness · May 13, 2013 · 1 Comment

Pathway to Peace Ministries, under the pastoral leadership of Rev. Cary Rodgers and located in Anson County, received a PHW mini-grant for their efforts to improve the health of their members and wider community. Pathway to Peace used the funds provided by PHW to purchase a plow and disk harrow to expand their church garden. Watch the above video to learn more about Pathway to Peace’s health-related efforts and to get tips on how your congregation can get involved.

Partners in Health and Wholeness is an initiative of the North Carolina Council of Churches. PHW aims to connect health as a faith issue. Please visit our website to sign your personal pledge to be healthier, and to find out about grant opportunities for places of worship in NC.

About Willona Stallings, Former Program Coordinator – Partners in Health & Wholeness

Partners in Health and Wholeness (PHW) connects congregations with existing resources in the community and provides them with the tools necessary (sometimes in the form of mini-grants) to implement healthier practices, policies and programs. I live in Raleigh and enjoy good food, area greenways and bargain shopping.

    I am thrilled by the info I am receiving. I am a cancer patient with a diagnosis of grade 4 in 2009. I thank God for his healing power. I have been a vegetarian for over 30 yrs and do believe that, that was a great help during all these years. I am a fruit and vegetable freak, but unable to acquire them fresh as often as I can. But God is good. Still on meds, but feeling quite well. I just thank God for each new day. My He continue to bless your ministry.
