ABOUT US
TRANSPARENT AS GLASS
ABOUT US: Welcome
The Issachar Reform Institute™ was founded to carry out the work of God in educating the church and the general public about the forms and function of certain diseases and their effects on the mind, body and spirit, and about the great time of trouble that is about to come upon the world. With such a mandate, we found it fitting to name the institute in honor of a beloved brother in Christ who made teaching this message his life's duty, and bowed his shoulder like Issachar, a strong ass to become a servant of God.
We stand firmly on the belief that as Seventh Day Adventist Christians, we must understand the times in which we live and purpose in our hearts to obey and share the knowledge God has blessed us with. In order to do this, we embrace Jesus’ method of transparency to educate men, women, boys and girls in lines of medical missionary work and Evangelism.
The core competencies of the systematic approach we use is based on the word of God from the Bible and the Testimonies. Therefore, I can safely say we are committed to helping humanity bring life into their daily living by way of health reform and the gospel of Jesus.

REACHING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Health and Wellness
KJV 3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
The Power of Good Nutrition
Here at Issachar Reform Institute, we believe that we are not to eat just to gratify our taste; rather, we teach that our food must serve these purposes.
1). Food and drink must furnish your body with the daily nutritional requirement. However, my nutritional intake must not be the reference point against which others are evaluated. Take for example, a person who does sedentary work would not expect a farmer to eat as they do. Other personal circumstances that determine one’s nutritional intake are one’s gender, age, health condition and so on.
2). Food and drink must be conducive to your physical and mental well-being. Take, for example, fast foods, like McDonald, KFC, and Pizza are very tasty. However, they are very low nutrient dense foods. Thus, they are detrimental to one’s health in so many ways; they can lead to obesity, which put too much pressure on the heart, lungs and joints.
3). Food and drink must keep you from developing acute and chronic diseases. Take, for example; GM foods and foods that contain cholesterol promote certain diseases, while non-GM foods and foods with no cholesterol have healing power (i.e. fruits, nuts, grains, and vegetables). Moreover, the strong physiological or chemical effect they have on the body due to their antioxidant, and phytochemical properties have been proven to reduce one’s risk of developing certain diseases.
4). Food must provide all its component elements without exception. For example, people who suffer with the chronic diseases of developed societies (i.e. arteriosclerosis, diabetes, arthritis, stroke, heart failure, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson, cancer, and autoimmune disease) diet consists of less non-GM whole foods and more animal flesh and refined foods, which has little or no carbohydrates, fibre, enzymes and micro-nutrients, especially phytochemicals with their antioxidant properties.

REACHING THE TRUTH
Bible Studies
KJV 2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
It is failure to hold daily communion with Jesus and study the Bible and learn how He became perfect in character and obedient to the death of the cross that leaves men in darkness. Thus, many of us have misunderstood and misinterpreted Jesus' relation to the law, believing that they can by faith alone become holy while willfully transgressing the least of God’s requirements. But this says the word of the Lord, “thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.”“Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.” Psalms 119: 73; 34.

REACHING YOUR GOALS
Academic Excellence And Sanctification
KJV 1 Corinthians 9:25 "And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible."
Any education that does not ultimately lead us to God or have as its result a redemptive effect is just mere schools of thought; and it will never truly elevate the mind. Academic achievements alone cannot make a man, a man; neither can it set him free. Only God's words that excel human wisdom and comprehension; words that caused the light to be divided from the darkness, and the gathering of the waters that the dry land may appear; words that hang the sun, the moon and the stars in their appointed courses above to be for signs, and seasons, and days, and years can affect real change.

REACHING THE COMMUNITY
Labour And Service
KJV Acts 4:32-35 "And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
We may all have somewhat to offer, a glass of water to quench the thirst, a piece of bread to satisfy some one's hunger, a kind word to up lift the spirit. One can use his or her wealth of knowledge to mentor the delinquent minors in one's community, keeping them out of trouble with the law. Or one could educate the poor how to be self-sufficient. Is it not better to teach a person how to fish than to give him a fish? Did you not know that you will be held responsible for the influence you could have exerted to help others, but did not, in the same way if you actually did? For the only God that some people will ever see is the God inside you and me, therefore, let us represent Him right.
These are the values we endeavour to instill in the minds of our students; and by the grace of God, we work aassiduously to reinforce them by practical example in our missionary out reach.
