“I just want to say thank you to everyone at this Health Summit 2024. It’s been remarkable! Thank you to everyone who has served us here through representation of Jesus. We are so thankful to Dr. Mark and Barbara and the impact that they made. It’s a summit that I never knew I needed so much!” Stacy
“I liked the whole conference. Dr. Mark Sandoval actually was an influence to me this morning. I have an anger issue, and I always say that I can’t help it, but in Christ I am powerful. When that anger comes, I can actually stop it from happening again!” Jim
“I had no idea that this health summit was going to change my life. I learned about choices I never even knew I had! Dr. Mark straightened us out, and Barbara gave us good health information. Everybody is so sweet and nice. It will impact my life forever.” Marina
“Thank you, Hartland, for having me here. I am so pleased that I attended this wonderful health summit with wonderful people. Jesus is the reason for everything that we do. I am not Seventh-day Adventist, but let me tell you something: the Seventh-day Adventists and the information that God has put in their hearts have changed my life and the life of those around me. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do with my family when I get home! Thank you, Dr. Mark, for all you have done for me. And thank you to every staff member here at Hartland College, because you all made an impact in my life, and I am going to tell everyone that they need to come here for a week and at least serve God and be healed.” Velinki
