ABOUT THE MINISTRY
This ministry came into being back in the fall of 2001 as a result of hosting a conference when Pastor Henry Wright came to the Dallas area for a week of teaching and ministry. At the time, we called it Be In Health Ministry, because we needed the proper organization to host the conference. I am very happy to see Be In Health continue on under the supervision of all the wonderful people in Thomaston, whom I dearly love and call friends and are very much a part of our spiritual family. We are 7000 Project members for Be In Health and support them , as well, and encourage all to go to Thomaston and personally experience the teaching and ministry that is benefiting hundreds and hundreds each year with better health.

As Pastor Wright says in his book, A MORE EXCELLENT WAY, in the case of chronic conditions, where the etiology is unknown by the medical profession, 80% of all illness has some form of spiritual root or sin issue that needs addressing. The problem comes when the Christian believer no longer thinks he should be concerned with sin in his life because he has become a Christian.
When Paul was writing to the Christian believers back in his day there was sin that was in need of confrontation. He mentioned it to them in 2 Corinthians 7:1 when he was telling them that their spirits were in need of cleansing, “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” As Christian believers, can our spirits become dirty with un-confessed sin? I suspect that the need is still there today! How do I know this? I am aware of the sins in my own life that God is revealing. I am just thankful that He does not reveal my transgressions all at once! He is a gracious, kind, gentle and loving Father! Our Christian walk involves a process by which we are “being made whole”, which is the new name of our ministry, Being Made Whole. The name comes from a scripture in 1 Thessalonians. 5:23 that says, “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Since God has created us as tripartite beings, having a spirit, soul and physical body, we should at least consider the spirit part of our being and realize that possibly, just as the early Christians, our spirits may need cleansing..
Our ministry is to the Christian believer; the church-going people that are in need of better health, who have tried various allopathic and alternative modalities to no avail and still find themselves lacking. When we can discover the area in our spiritual lives where some cleansing needs to occur, there is a healing in our physical body that will follow and it will not require additional management and excessive use of drugs or supplements.
We never tell you to stop taking your medicine. We are not practicing medicine! Your doctor will tell you when it becomes apparent to him that it might no longer be necessary. That will be his decision and under his supervision. We are also not counselors. We do not give advice. We are teachers of the Bible and we can only share what has become real to us through the study of the scriptures. We hold no theological degrees. I am a pharmacist who just stumbled upon this teaching. I would like to say that over the last six years we have seen more people helped through this ministry than we have seen in a combination of 20 plus years in the allopathic field as a practicing pharmacist and 20 plus years as owners of vitamin stores that promoted alternative modalities.
I thank God for all of the wonderful Christian doctors, various medical practitioners and emergency rooms available in this country, and would still want their opinion regarding my health and the health of my family, and will be quick to take their advice as trained professionals. Nevertheless, I do have many Christian medical practitioner friends who also share these beliefs regarding our spirit man and also will share this teaching with those in need.
Our goal and vision for this ministry is to make this information available in such a way as for others to share this message with the entire Body of Christ. We covet your prayers as we endeavor to do this. Please pray for Pastor Wright as he continues to pioneer in his calling which is trans-denominational, across all denominational lines.
PERSONAL
We are Charles and Doris Pollard and have been married since 1957, having two wonderful children and five “perfect” grandchildren. Denton, Texas is now our home. We live in the Robson Ranch community south of Denton. I came to know the Lord in 1972 as a part-time choir director in a Baptist church in Louisiana. Since then, our Christian “walk” has taken us over various types of terrain involving many changes in our Christian understanding, with more to come…to be certain.
By profession, I am a pharmacist who changed careers in 1983, entering the vitamin business in the Dallas area. The reason for the change was a result of seeing more benefits and fewer side effects realized from vitamins and herbs than from the use of drugs. Then in the spring of ‘99, quite by accident, we came across a tape (shared by a window washer) that changed our lives. It was a teaching by Pastor Wright on spiritual roots to disease. In this tape, we heard a nugget of God's truth that caused us to want to hear more. A spark was ignited that began a journey that has become an all-consuming fire. After much investigation of Pastor Wright and his ministry in Georgia, we have continued to explore God’s Word through these teachings and have come to appreciate the depth of wisdom as well as the undeniable truth and have embraced the teaching with a “Berean’s Attitude”, i.e. we have gone back to our Bibles to see if the things that he was saying was in our Bible. I pray that you will do the same and see for yourself that Father God does indeed want you to Be In Health. 3 John 2: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
