A Special Update from Laura

Hello Crossroads Family!

There are a lot of new developments happening at Crossroads in the New Year. Today, I want to share with you some exciting developments in my personal life and humbly ask for your support.

I have had a deep interest in nutrition and holistic wellness since my personal health journey kicked off at the age of 13. Over the past 10 years of learning and doing my best to live out my newly acquired knowledge, I’ve realized two principles to be true regarding health &wellness:
1) Perfect nutrition will never dismiss the need for regular exercise.
2) True health involves more than just a healthy physical body – it involves the body, mind and spirit.

Sadly, my personal health journey began from a place of self-disgust and insecurity. And while I managed to lose 45 pounds and reach my goal weight in my own strength, it wasn’t long before I realized my mind and spirit were still “overweight.” Through the guidance of many mentors,
authors, and sisters in the faith, I learned to invite the Lord to partner with and guide me in my health journey and it made all the difference! Since finding this freedom in my own health, my heart has burned to share this message of hope and freedom with others who feel defeated and ashamed in their health as I did. In His great faithfulness, the Lord has led me to an opportunity through Revelation Wellness that will allow me to do just that!

Revelation Wellness is a fitness ministry and discipleship training program that equips individuals to become “Fitness Teachers, Gospel Preachers.” As a certified Revelation Wellness Instructor, I will lead group fitness classes and small group Bible studies centered around the Word of God and holistic wellness. I have felt the Lord pinging my heart to pursue Revelation Wellness Instructor Training (RWIT) for several months, but continually excused these promptings due to limited time and financial resources to invest in the 9-week Instructor Training Course. Yet the Lord has persisted in inviting me to this opportunity in a number of ways, so I am giving Him my “Yes” to become a part of Revelation Wellness Platoon 24! Instructor Training will begin in February and consist of an 9-week intensive, online study program that will culminate in a week-long training retreat in Arizona.

First and foremost, I would like to ask for your prayerful support as I step out of my comfort zone to pursue this ministry opportunity. My participation in RWIT will require a total investment of $2,400 (which includes the cost of the course materials and required texts, meals and lodging for the training retreat and airfare to/from AZ). If you feel led to support me financially, there will be a giving jar collecting donations toward my RWIT at the front desk in our office for the next several weeks. Donations can also be given online through GoFundMe (link provided below) or mailed to our Crossroads Family Chiropractic office directly (Made payable to Laura Mullen, Memo: RWIT).

As a small way to say thank you for sowing into my discipleship training program, I’d like to share with you 10 of my favorite healthy recipes to inspire you in your own health journey! Please be sure to include your email address so that I can share the recipes with you!
