Announcing the 2007 Women’s Retreat at Hallelujah Acres
by Rhonda Malkmus
Have you heard the news? Hallelujah Acres is about to host its 8th Annual Women’s Retreat October 25 – 27, so mark your calendars, be sure to tell your friends, and make plans to attend. If you’ve never attended one of these retreats, you’re in for a fantastic experience, a time to learn from gifted speakers about the Hallelujah Diet & Lifestyle and to fellowship with like-minded women from across America and around the world.
About ten years ago, when I first approached George about doing a Women’s Retreat at Halleluja hAcres, he smiled and said: “No woman would travel across the country to attend a three day retreat at Hallelujah Acres.” He was shocked when our first Women’s Retreat in 1999 proved to be the largest event ever hosted by Hallelujah Acres up until that time! George had to eat some “vegetarian crow,” but is now one of the greatest supporters of the Women’s Retreat!
Over the years, many women from all walks of life, from many different faiths, and from many countries have gathered at Hallelujah Acres to make the Women’s Retreat one of the most fantastic events each year. I’m thrilled to have the privilege of hosting each retreat and count it a blessing to be able to meet the precious women God sends our way! I’m looking forward to meeting each of our guests, those who come for the first time and those who come every time - or even sometimes! You are what makes each retreat memorable to me!

Allow me to share with you the wonderful speakers that will bless, encourage, and enlighten those who attend. All will want to hear my beloved husband, George, share his infamous God’s Way to Ultimate Health Seminar, even if it has been heard before. George’s enthusiasm and love of life are contagious, and he is always adding new knowledge he gleans from his never-ending research!
Our own Olin Idol needs little introduction to those who follow The Hallelujah Diet. He’s been with Hallelujah Acres for 12 years and is the Vice President of Health. Olin has authored one of our most popular books, Pregnancy, Children, and the Hallelujah Diet. He is a gifted teacher who will enlighten those attending on the many facets of The Hallelujah Diet.
I’m excited to share that Dr. T. Colin Campbell, who has been in the forefront of nutrition research for more than 40 years and is the author of the astounding book The China Study, will be our keynote speaker Thursday evening. His phenomenal research supports the message of Hallelujah Acres, and you will be delighted and inspired to learn from this gifted man.
Last year at the Women’s Retreat, I had the privilege of meeting Eleanor Isaacson. I was so impressed with the testimony of her life that I’ve asked her to come and share with those attending this year. Eleanor grew up in Hitler’s Germany, and escaped the Nazi prison camps to live and share her life’s story. You will hear of her fears, heartaches, how she found Christ, and, now, the wonderful ministry God has given her to teach women the art of communication, poise, self-esteem, and fashion.
To some of you, Jackie and Gideon Graff will need no introduction. To others, you’re in for another learning encounter. Jackie and Gideon are fantastic raw food chefs from Atlanta, Georgia who teach their culinary creations at our Culinary Academy. You will be amazed as they prepare raw foods like you’ve never tasted before, and yes, we will be serving the recipes they demonstrate. For those interested in learning from Jackie and Gideon personally, Hallelujah Acres will be hosting a two-day class October 29 and 30. Check our website (www.hacres.com) for details.
Richard Berkowitz, D.C. will join us to share how to reach the Pinnacle of Life. He’s a wonderful Chiropractor and gifted speaker who has the largest practice in our area. He’s always energetic and has a smile and a kind word for everyone. He’ll inspire you to be the best you can be! We’re excited and honored that he has agreed to take time away from his busy practice to join us.

Hallelujah Acres Health Ministry Director, Ann Nuti, formerly Academic Dean and Instructor at Morrison Institute of Technology, will also be speaking on Emotional Restoration, something everyone seeks during some point in life. She will share her own personal story of how God is able to turn even our choices into something beautiful for His glory. Ann will inspire you from the very depths of your being!
Beverley Coad has graciously agreed to be our Mistress of Ceremonies again this year. She is the wife of Graeme Coad, whom you may know from other events at Hallelujah Acres. Beverley is a well-known public speaker and Deputy U.S. Coordinator of Lydia Fellowship International. If you’ve ever met Beverley, I’m sure you’ll be excited to visit with her again, and if you’ve not been introduced, you’ll delight in meeting her!
We’re excited that our music this year will be provided by some of our own local talent. We’ll hear the gospel group called “Climbing High,” the mother daughter duet of Margaret Woodard and Molora Kellstrom, and a Bluegrass Gospel band called “The Griggs,” whose group includes our own Zolia Clayton, hostess of our Hallelujah Café. Each group has their own special style, and we’re sure they will bless your hearts. So, mark your calendars, tell your friends, make your reservations early, and come renew your spirit with us! I’m looking forward to having you joining me at the Women’s Retreat at Hallelujah Acres October 25 – 27! Until then, may the good Lord bless and keep you!
