The Life Coach Network
The Life Coach Network (LCN4 Life) is an organization founded on the principles of the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19-20. The three components of the great commission are to go, teach, and baptize.
LCN4 Life proposes to respond to the great commission by developing a network of Holistic Life Coaches around the world who are trained to minister to the whole person.
The Bible and teachings of E.G. White suggest a seamless, harmonious relationship between spiritual and physical health. This harmonious relationship is most clearly seen in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.”
— Matthew 28:19-20A Coach in Every Nation
A worldwide network of trained Holistic Life Coaches in every nation, helping people Get Healthy, Stay Healthy, and Live Forever — by ministering to the whole person as Jesus did.
Holistic Ministry to the Whole Person
Our mission is to build a network of Holistic Life Coaches that addresses three critical problems by recruiting former lifestyle center and Bible worker graduates, along with other lay people, to be Holistic Life Coaches. We train them to minister to the spiritual and physical needs of their clients, collaborate with lifestyle centers to provide follow-up services for their guests, and assist the coaches to raise funding to support themselves.
Christ's Method of Ministry
The Holistic Life Coach follows Christ's method for connecting with people.
Mingle
Christ mingled with people as one who desired their good.
Sympathize
He showed sympathy for their struggles and hardships.
Minister
He ministered to their needs with compassion and love.
Win Confidence
He won their confidence, then bade them follow.
Harmony of Spiritual & Physical Health
“Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health. In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected. Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system.”
- MH 127.1
“Sickness of the mind prevails everywhere. Nine tenths of the diseases from which men suffer have their foundation here.”

The Problems We're Solving
Lifestyle Center Follow-up
Participants of lifestyle center programs experience some level of relief while in the program but have little to no follow-up afterwards, which often results in relapse.
Trainee Sustainability
Up to 90% of the lifestyle center trainees are unable to support themselves and a family as medical missionaries after graduation.
Bible Worker Support
Up to 90% of the Bible worker graduates are unable to support themselves and sustain a family in full time ministry after graduation.

Our 5-Step Holistic Approach
The Holistic Life Coach seeks to address the whole person through a systematic, faith-based approach grounded in Scripture and the counsels of E.G. White.
Identify the Root Cause
We begin by helping individuals identify the root causes of their health challenges. As the Ministry of Healing states, "In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained." We look beyond symptoms to understand the deeper spiritual, mental, and physical origins of disease.
Change Unhealthful Conditions
Once root causes are identified, we work with individuals to change their environment and circumstances. "Unhealthful conditions should be changed." This may include changes in diet, living arrangements, relationships, or daily routines.
Correct Wrong Habits
Habits drive health outcomes. Our coaches guide individuals through practical steps to replace destructive habits with life-giving practices. This includes both physical and spiritual disciplines.
Apply Natural Remedies
Nature provides powerful tools for healing. We educate and support individuals in using natural remedies — fresh air, sunlight, water, rest, nutrition, exercise, temperance, and trust in God — tailored to their specific needs.
Present the Gospel
The ultimate source of healing is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When individuals receive the Gospel, they have power and motivation to cooperate with God in healthy living, both physically and spiritually. This is the cornerstone of lasting transformation.
