About Hallelujah Acres

God's Word shows us how to live-including how to achieve and maintain optimal health. When we don't follow God's natural laws, our bodies do not receive proper nutrition, or are unable to remove toxins, the results of which are sickness and disease. But when we choose to follow God's natural laws, we can restore proper nutrients and enable our bodies to be self-healing as He created them to be-this is the basis of The Hallelujah Diet, the hallmark of Hallelujah Acres.

Rev. Malkmus' Cancer
Hallelujah Acres is a non-denominational Christian ministry that provides education, products, services, and other resources to help people everywhere understand and practice God's way to ultimate health. It all began when Rev. George Malkmus, at the age of 42, was told he had colon cancer-the same disease that had recently taken his mother, despite chemotherapy, radiation treatments and surgery. Feeling like the "treatment" his mother received was more of a threat than a cure, Rev. Malkmus turned to an evangelist friend, Lester Roloff, who advised him not to go the medical route, but to simply change his diet to raw fruits and vegetables, and to drink lots of fresh vegetable juice. In 1977, after a year of living this new lifestyle, Rev. Malkmus' baseball-sized tumor had disappeared, as did every other physical problem he was experiencing. His body had been restored!

Hallelujah Acres Is Born
Rev. Malkmus began sharing his message of dietary healing with anyone who would listen (which did not amount to many at first). So he began to show that the body of modern medical science supported the wisdom of the original diet given to mankind by God in Genesis 1:29. Those who listened and changed their diet found their body's innate self-healing usually able to heal all physical sickness. Soon they offered powerful testimonies, making their wellness contagious.

One of these people was Rhonda Jean who, about a year after adopting Rev. Malkmus' message, had lost over 80 pounds, and her arthritis was totally gone. Inspired to share their stories together, Rev. Malkmus and Rhonda were married in 1992 and created Hallelujah Acres that same year.

What We Do
Today, Hallelujah Acres has flourished to offer many different resources, services and products for those who choose to follow God's way to optimal health. Headquartered in Shelby, North Carolina, Hallelujah Acres employs over 50 people who are dedicated to reaching the world with a message of hope and healing. Locally, the headquarters is home to a health food store and an organic lunch café, both of which are open 6 days a week. The facility also houses a 500-seat auditorium that is used for many seminars, retreats, culinary classes and trainings throughout the year. The highlight of these events is a monthly, free seminar presented by Rev. Malkmus himself during which a newcomer to The Hallelujah Diet concept can learn all the basics in just one morning. Hallelujah Acres' headquarters also features a call center, product shipping department, and marketing and education departments and publishes weekly email Health Tips written by Rev. Malkmus himself, plus a bi-monthly Health News magazine and a semi-annual Product Catalog.

The Villages of Hallelujah Acres
One of the most exciting aspects of Hallelujah Acres is the opportunity to live right in the heart of the action. The Villages of Hallelujah Acres is currently under construction across the road from Hallelujah Acres headquarters. The Villages, as it is known, is America's first healthy lifestyle community dedicated to living well, both physically and spiritually. The Villages of Hallelujah Acres Phase I & II plans include 22 Estate sites (averaging ½ to ¾ acres), 50 Garden Home sites (¼ acre), and 20 Condominiums. Property features proposed include walking trails, organic community gardens, a lake, clubhouse and fitness center, swimming pool, tennis courts and more.

Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Centers
Off-site, Hallelujah Acres Lifestyle Centers utilize a retreat-style environment in which visitors can immerse themselves in optimal health as they enrich their knowledge of health, food and lifestyle choices. Once at home, they can take what they have learned during their two, five or ten day stay to implement The Hallelujah Diet at home with confidence. Many people have reported that such a stay was a turning point that helped them empower their immune system to battle back and win against diseases like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. Lifestyle Centers are currently operating in Lake Lure, North Carolina; Stanton, Kentucky; Plant City, Florida; and Fallbrook, California.
