Friends of Heartwise,

Thank you for taking the time today to read this. Do you believe we are at the end time? What is God asking you to do? I ask these questions of myself. I do believe we are at end time and God is asking each one of us to spread the gospel using whatever means He provides.

At Heartwise we are accomplishing this with television programs, radio ministry, internet and social media, seminars, and by answering health questions. We try to meet needs, usually

physical. We do our best to love and not judge, and let people know that the Creator wants to have a relationship with them.

God has given us a new program to develop and we need your help. We need to raise $100,000 to write, produce, print, distribute, and market Biblical Prescriptions for Life. This is a unique health evangelism program. The goal is to meet the health needs of those we serve while developing a relationship with Jesus.

COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.

— MATTHEW 11:28

This program is designed for churches, individuals, families, small groups, and even wellness programs. First, there is a three-part seminar laying out the big picture and inspiring participants. We are filming this presentation on January 30th of 2016 and hope you can attend. This event will serve as a launch for the small group Bible studies which are designed to cover seven weeks. Each week at the group study, the leader will show a video that introduces the weeks’ theme and provides teaching. Then there is a daily lesson for individual study at home. The focus is on Biblical prescriptions that will improve health, perhaps obviate the need for a medication, but more importantly, demonstrate the science of worshipping the true God.

We understand that health is so important to people. We hope this simple, evidence-based program will be a new avenue of evangelism and a useful tool

to spread the gospel. I am very excited about this new program. With God’s help, we hope to reach the world.

Heartwise will also be focusing on providing tools for anyone to use to spread the gospel through health. If someone wants to share a radio program, blog, answers to health questions, or even Bible studies, we hope to be a resource to provide for people’s needs.

Heartwise is again growing. We need your support to continue to grow. There are many ways to be a part of spreading the gospel. If God is touching you to support this new, unique program, give today. As we plant seeds and follow God’s will, blessings will abound. I would love to talk to you personally about this project and what Heartwise is doing worldwide.

In service,

James L. Marcum MD FACCCardiologist, Speaker & Directorof Heartwise Ministries

John Wagoner is a key contributor in our efforts to make Biblical Prescriptions for Life. John’s passion for knowing Christ and making Him known shines through with this project. His skills in writing, marketing & development have been used for God’s purpose over the past decade. Helping others understand Christ’s methods for meeting needs is a task that is dear to John’s heart and we are proud to have him lead the effort in this mission.

I PRAY THAT YOU MAY PROSPER IN ALL THINGS AND BE IN HEALTH, JUST AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS.

— 3 JOHN 1:2

Gallup sees it. Our healthcare system sees it. The federal government sees it. Americans are sicker than ever and we as a nation are being crushed by the rampantly metastasizing cost of treating people dying in slow motion from self-inflicted illness and acquired disease.

The unfathomably great news is that there is a solution. Our great and loving God has provided a simple, clear, sustainable path to healing and lifelong wellness. Jesus Himself used healthcare nearly one of every two times he interacted with people during His public ministry. It was His primary engagement point! Biblical Prescriptions for Life follows Jesus in taking God’s message of healing to the world—inside the church and beyond.

Biblical Prescriptions for Life will serve the local church by meeting two of their greatest needs through one resource

John WagonerProducer, Biblical Prescriptions for Life

simultaneously —a program to improve the real health of their congregation and a powerful outreach to the community that will meet one of America’s most critical needs. Just like Jesus did in the communities and countryside of Israel, Biblical Prescriptions for Life will consist of a short seminar launch series that continues into a 7-week small group study with daily Bible study.

Heartwise Ministries started development of Biblical Prescriptions for Life in Q3 of 2014. We invested 2015 in the writing and content creation of the Bible study and videos. The team will produce the seminar series with a live audience at ICCM Theatre in Chattanooga, January 30, 2016 from 2–5pm. We invite you to attend this event and consider how you can help share Biblical Prescriptions for Life with others today.

more than ever! In 2016, we will produce a series of sixty second public service announcements for broadcasters who want to help inform the public on how we can experience better health. We are blessed to take this message to the world through television and internet broadcasts.

The Ultimate Prescription television program with Dr. James Marcum continues to inform viewers about the true source of healing for our lives. Dr. Marcum’s upcoming series to be produced in January will focus on sources of pain in our lives. Whether foot, back, chest, or mouth pain, expert physicians will share man’s best treatments for pain as well as the Ultimate Physician’s plan for our health.

God’s master plan for our health is not out of date, it never expires. In fact it’s more relevant to us now

Heartwise with Charles Mills has become the longest-running Christian radio program focusing entirely on health and wellness. There’s a reason for that. The show’s many listeners trust the program to separate fact from fiction and present a balanced, scientific approach to building and maintaining optimum health. That’s why the guest list features a wide variety of voices—from the truck driver who saved his own life by changing his diet, to dedicated scientists working on the cutting edge of medical research. Besides top names in nutrition and wellness such as Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Hans Diehl, health promoter Nelson

Campbell, various members of the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine, and award-winning journalist Robert Whitaker, participants have included popular health-promoting chefs, cancer survivors, world-class athletes, and enthusiastic men and women who’ve discovered ways to generate incredible changes in their lives.

Topics include grief recovery, dealing with the new reality of modern medicine, using simple solutions for complex mental and physical health issues, raising healthy children, and learning how to partner with the Creator God during the journey to optimum health.

The Internet continues to be an effective way of delivering content, particularly to younger audiences who are now forming their opinions about many things in life, including their health. We value the opportunities that we have to share face to face with people at events, but sharing the message through our website and social media makes our content instantly available to a worldwide audience. And once the content is online it can be viewed at any time from nearly anywhere.

Internet delivery of our content also provides opportunities

for us to gather feedback from our audience. We learn where our viewers are located geographically, what type of content they value, and how they like to receive content.

Dr. Marcum continues to receive health questions from visitors to our website and replies with hope filled recommendations and encouragement. Our efforts online have facilitated a dialogue between our audience and our team at Heartwise, and relationships is often where healing truly begins.

“I thank the Lord for the natural things He has provided. I also thank him for doctors like Dr. Marcum who combine the use of God’s natural remedies with modern medicine, and a knowledge of how to do that. Thank you so very much for your faithfulness to our Creator.”

Martha | Tennessee

“Dr Marcum, you are a blessing to all who watch your ministry. Our Lord and Savior has blessed you with a caring and loving heart. I have learned so much from listening to your program; it inspires me to try harder and do better for myself and my loved ones.”

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS TRUTH. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE SOURCE OF ALL TRUTH AND LOVE. THE PEACE IT BRINGS IS TRULY HEALING.

It’s far too common these days to hear of people being taken advantage of when they are in dire need of help. For example, there is a CEO who recently raised the rate of a single pill from $13.50 to $750.00! Fortunately, there are a lot of good folks out there who practice medicine ethically and truly have the patient’s best interests in mind rather than their own.

Heartwise operates as a non-profit because we are in the business of helping people discover truth

FINANCIAL INFORMATIONrather than making profits. Dr. Marcum donates his own time and resources to make our efforts successful. Everything that we do is ministry oriented and not for financial gain. We operate on a modest budget but are able to reach many people with truths about health.

Sustaining the programs that we offer is only possible through the contributions from our supporters; so from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
