First Place 4 Health - Online Support Groups
Outlook Ministry is an independent ministry and is not an official website of First Place 4 Health. Karen Rhodus is the founder and supports the First Place 4 Health ministry.
Outlook Ministry brings people together in online support groups: "Our goal is to provide our members with the very best support, encouragement and accountability as we choose to change together."
Members choose to purchase the First Place 4 Health materials and use in our online support groups. Modifications have been made to support the online group approach. For example we do not meet live and in person. We meet online using message board, chat room, email, snail mail and by phone. Trackers are collected weekly by our small group leaders. Our members can send them by snail mail or electronically. One or more of our leaders review and check all trackers for understanding then they will reply with feedback and encouragement. Our leaders are experienced and work together as a team - they are the best of the best.
Who Benefits from Outlook Ministry's Online Support Groups?
NEW MEMBERS: Let us get started! Got questions? Ask your leader.
NEW LEADERS: Learn the program with support.
LOCAL LEADERS: Personal support.
LOCAL MEMBERS: Extra daily support and encouragement.
MEMBERS ON MAINTENANCE: Long term accountability and support beyond the classroom.
Did you just pick up your new First Place 4 Health Member's Kit and Bible Study and learn that they are to be used in a group setting? Many do!
The next step is to go to the national website, put in your zip code and look for a group near you. If you find there is no local group available in your area, this is the perfect time to consider joining us online. Since we start new groups each month on the first Monday of the month - everyone can get started right away with support! Now that is exciting!!!
No one ever needs to do this alone! Support of others is just as important as the very first moment you decide to buy the materials and make this part of your life. The biggest benefit you will find as a new member is the support from our experienced leadership team.
To join you will need a Member's Guide and the featured First Place 4 Health Bible Study. Members can purchase their materials any where First Place 4 Health Materials are sold. There is a small registration fee per Bible Study group as suggested in First Place 4 Health Leaders Guide page 31.
Outlook Ministry has been providing ongoing groups since January 2001. There is something to say about consistency! I am so very proud of our leadership team and our group organization. Our online groups have 2 to 4 small group leaders with care groups of 4-6 members per leader. Our leadership team provides our members and leaders with daily support.

Outlook Groups begins: Monday, September 6th
FEATURED FIRST PLACE 4 HEALTH BIBLE STUDY: THE POWER OF HOPE: When struggling with the inevitable ups and downs of weight loss and control, its easy to lose hope. Life seems to see saw between victory and defeat, and even short-term failures can lead to feelings of shame, disgrace and despair. Yet hope is a bedrock of Christian faith, and God intends for His children to stand firm, trusting and confident in the future He has planned. The Power of Hope will help participants continue moving toward their goals and help them find energy and motivation to face daily challenges without losing faith. Each First Place 4 Health Bible study contains 12 weeks of daily study to help members put Christ in first place. Based on proven techniques and 25 years of experience, First Place 4 Health is the most complete Christ-centered healthy living program available, and it has helped thousands of members create balance in the four core areas of their lives: emotional, spiritual, mental and physical. The results? Weight loss and total health from the inside out! -
