Dr. Thomas and Dr. Laverne Jackson: Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit Through Faith and Natural Remedies
For more than 30 years, Dr. Thomas and Dr. Laverne Jacksonhave devoted themselves to merging faith with natural healing methods to guide individuals toward holistic well-being. As the founders of M.E.E.T. Ministry (Missionary Education and Evangelistic Training), situated on 122 tranquil acres in Huntingdon, Tennessee, the Jacksons have created a legacy of transformation. Their distinctive approach to health emphasizes the profound connection between the body, mind, and spirit, offering a path to healing that nurtures all aspects of a person’s life.
A Life-Changing Journey
Dr. Thomas Jackson’s path to natural healing began with a personal health crisis. “I was diagnosed with early-onset arthritis, which had a profound impact on my life,” Dr. Jackson explained. “My dreams of becoming an NBA player were dashed, but this led me to a deeper understanding of the power of natural remedies.” It was this life-changing event that led him to seek alternative healing methods, eventually becoming a passionate advocate for natural health.
In collaboration with his wife, Dr. Laverne Jackson, the couple has developed a faith-based program that helps individuals achieve optimal health by addressing not only physical ailments but also mental and spiritual well-being. Their partnership, built on trust, mutual respect, and shared purpose, has led to a program that continues to impact lives around the world.
G.O.D.S.P.L.A.N.: A Blueprint for Health
The Jacksons’ holistic health philosophy is centered on their signature G.O.D.S.P.L.A.N. approach. This acronym stands for Godly Trust, Open Air, Daily Exercise, Sunshine, Proper Rest, Lots of Water, Always Temperate, and Nutrition. These eight pillars are more than just lifestyle recommendations—they represent a spiritual and practical blueprint for transforming health.
“At M.E.E.T. Ministry, we believe that healing is a holistic process that requires a balance of the body, mind, and spirit,” Dr. Thomas Jackson said. “G.O.D.S.P.L.A.N. is our guiding principle because it acknowledges that good health begins with faith and is maintained through everyday actions.”
Transforming Lives: Success Stories
The impact of M.E.E.T. Ministry is evident in the countless success stories that have emerged from their retreats. One such story involves a guest who arrived with high blood pressure and advanced diabetes. After engaging in the ministry’s retreat and adhering to the G.O.D.S.P.L.A.N. principles, this individual experienced remarkable improvements in their health, significantly reducing their dependence on medication.
“The transformation we see in our guests is truly inspiring,” Dr. Laverne Jackson shared. “It’s about more than just treating symptoms; it’s about restoring the body’s natural ability to heal.”
More Than a Retreat: Training Future Health Evangelists
The Jacksons are committed to expanding their mission beyond the retreat through the School of Gospel Health Evangelism. This educational program trains individuals who are passionate about natural health and spirituality, equipping them with the tools to become ambassadors for holistic healing in their own communities.
“We want to spread the message of natural healing far and wide,” Dr. Thomas Jackson said. “Our graduates go on to make a difference in the world, one person at a time.”
Giving Back: The ‘Reclaim Your Health’ Campaign
In their continued effort to expand M.E.E.T. Ministry’s reach, the Jacksons have launched the ‘Reclaim Your Health’ campaign. This initiative aims to raise funds to help grow their programs, expand their facilities, and serve even more individuals in need of healing.
“We are committed to making faith-based, natural healing accessible to as many people as possible,” Dr. Laverne Jackson explained. “This campaign is an opportunity for people to give back and support a cause that can truly change lives.”
The Future of M.E.E.T. Ministry
Looking to the future, the Jacksons are focused on expanding M.E.E.T. Ministry’s impact through new partnerships, outreach programs, and collaborations. “Our goal is to continue reaching people who are searching for healing, hope, and restoration,” Dr. Thomas Jackson said. “Together, we can build a community of people who believe in the power of natural healing and the strength of faith.”
