Walk of Faith is a unique 10-day live-in health education and lifestyle change program located in a remote area of Hawaii’s Kohala Coast, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. The program is designed to help rebuild and maintain optimum health, particularly for those who have been struggling with chronic illness. Sponsored by Rational Christian Ministries, a non-profit, non-denominational ministry, the Biblically-based retreat program offers hope for healing without reliance upon pharmaceutical drugs or invasive medical procedures.
The Walk of Faith program is comprehensive and unlike most other programs around the country. The retreat center, situated on 8.5 secluded acres with rolling green hills and abundant fruit trees overlooking the ocean, offers comfortable year-round temperatures and plenty of fresh air and sunshine. The basic program rate includes all juices, herbal preparations, exquisite vegan meals (raw and cooked), health presentations and lectures, lifestyle workshops, video presentations, food preparation demonstrations, beach visits, hikes, water aerobics, gym/fitness center activities, group discussion sessions, hydrotherapy treatment (as needed), and double room accommodations. A basic medical screening is ordered for each program participant prior to attending, including comprehensive laboratory work and hair analysis. Optional program items include colon hydrotherapy, massage, steam bath, sheet wrap, fever treatment, skin brushing, nutritional analysis, and vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements.
There is no reason for any of us to suffer with disease. Yet, chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension are increasing exponentially. An alarming percentage of our population is obese. Ironically, most of the chronic diseases affecting millions in our country did not even exist prior to the turn of the 20th century. The problem began when we started packaging and processing foods. Today, virtually all of our foods have been enriched, preserved, or modified in some way to fit into our busy high tech lives. We have also stopped exercising adequately, leaving the door open for serious, often life-threatening illness. At Walk of Faith, the goal is to identify problem lifestyle patterns and to get back on track with excellent health.
Arnie Suntag, Walk of Faith’s founder, is a former executive who left the corporate world to preach the Gospel. Faced with life-threatening illness, he relied upon his faith in God and major lifestyle changes to recover. In 2004, he founded Rational Christian Ministries, a ministry dedicated to health education and Biblical truth. With a background that includes creating wellness programs for the Arizona Heart Institute, he began the Walk of Faith program to help those seeking to improve the quality of their lives. His wife Susan holds a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership and has an extensive background in alternative health education programs. Together, they lead a friendly, dedicated, and professional staff that includes a registered nurse and nutritionist, along with medical oversight and consulting by a board certified physician.
Walk of Faith offers 10-day retreats each month all year round, as well as individualized or custom-tailored programs. The retreat center is about one hour from the Kona International Airport (KOA) and close to some of the most beautiful beaches and hiking trails in Hawaii. Transportation to and from the airport is provided at no additional charge.
