The importance of understanding the health effects of climate changeThe importance of understanding the health effects of climate change is a critical aspect of addressing the dangers posed by this global phenomenon. Climate change is no longer a distant threat; its impacts are being felt in every corner of the world, affecting the lives of individuals, communities, and entire nations. As the Earth's climate continues to warm, it is imperative that we comprehend the potential health consequences that come along with it.One of the most evident health effects of climate change is the rise in heatwaves. Extreme heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense, posing a significant risk to human health. Heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke, are on the rise, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and those with chronic illnesses. Understanding the health risks associated with heatwaves allows us to implement appropriate measures to protect individuals and communities from these life-threatening conditions.Another crucial health concern related to climate change is the increase in disease outbreaks. Changing climate patterns create favorable conditions for the spread of infectious diseases, including vector-borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and Lyme disease. Rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns can impact the distribution and behavior of disease-carrying insects, making it essential to comprehend and anticipate these changes in order to prevent and control outbreaks effectively.Moreover, climate change can exacerbate respiratory issues such as asthma and allergies. As temperatures rise, air pollution levels tend to increase, leading to poor air quality. This can trigger respiratory problems and worsen existing conditions. Understanding this link between climate change and respiratory health allows us to develop strategies to mitigate the effects, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality standards.Additionally, mental health is not immune to the impacts of climate change. Natural disasters, displacement, and the loss of livelihoods caused by climate-related events can have profound psychological effects on individuals and communities. By understanding the mental health implications of climate change, we can develop support systems and interventions to help those affected cope with the emotional and psychological toll.

KINGDOM ENCOUNTER DISCIPLESHIP is a comprehensive and challenging in-depth series of 12 lessons that bring revelation to the way you think about yourself and understand the Kingdom of God. To secure your identity in who God created you to be and to experience the "Kingdom of God" in this lifetime; that you have a unique identity and purpose. This DISCIPLESHIP CURRICULUM is designed to make studying the Bible easy to understand for a new believer yet causes a mature believer to reflect on what they think they know. It teaches disciples how to make disciples.The KINGDOM ENCOUNTER DISCIPESHIP is especially effective when conducted in a small group format. We have found that having men and women meet separately for discussion provides a setting conducive to honest expression and transparency; to be clear, men and women discuss things differently. Although we found that couples like to prepare their lessons together prior to meeting with their discussion groups. Our goal has always been to build confident leaders and disciple-makers; to seek the gold in each individual follower of Jesus Christ.This is how we conducted the first KINGDOM ENCOUNTER DISCIPLESHIP: A Men's and Women's group of about 15 each met on the same day in two separate rooms in our church building. The individual members were divided into small groups of 3-4 people, and the groups stayed together for the entire 12 sessions. Within the groups, they rotated a group facilitator for each lesson, who did not teach the lesson, but guided the discussion. Each lesson took about 2 weeks to complete outside of class, and each person came prepared to discuss it during a 2-hour time frame. We met in a large room, separated into clusters of 3-4 people in their small groups. We did not allow groups larger than 4 because we discovered someone either hide out or is left out of discussions. Accountability for the progress of the group also works better in the 3-4 member clusters. We provided Certificates of Achievement at the end of the Series. While an individual can do the workbook, not discuss it with anyone and still find value, we find that "iron sharpens iron" and therefore encourage the small group format to maximize growth and understanding.The KINGDOM ENCOUNTER DISCIPLESHIP is a wonderful way for individuals to gather friends to do this Bible Study at the KITCHEN TABLE, in the FAMILY ROOM, at a COFFEE HOUSE, or in other great venues outside of a church setting. The KINGDOM OF GOD is everywhere and a KINGDOM ENCOUNTER is for every believer!

In the year AD 1492, North American was already a populated wilderness, abundant in natural resources sought by foreign conquerors. They were known as explorers. Wealthy societies were already developed by educated Indian tribes with knowledge of navigation, weather patterns, and astronomical cycles.One of the most exciting explorers (Christopher Columbus) was a man that attributed his motivation to God and wrote about it in the Book of Prophecy. Secular historians distorted or deleted many of the astonishing insights disclosed in his journals. Kingdom Road Volume 1 unlocks the mystery of ancient maps used by Christopher Columbus to reach the shores of North America. His journey may have been an effort to rediscover long lost treasures collected by King Solomon.Spreading the kernels of rebellion, Christopher Columbus and a small band of travelers known as Conquistadors triggered an all-out rebellion that erupts across the world and the continent of North America. During the search for treasures, this book reveals an untold story of wars that raged across the continents, between indigenous tribes and an ancient race of beings called "giants" or "Nephilim."
