Local Community Fills Adventist Church for Barbara O’Neill Seminar

International sensation Barbara O’Neill lectured to a packed house for six days at the Rogersville Seventh-day Adventist Church in Tennessee. Local residents who have followed O’Neill on social media were amazed that she would come to their small community in northeast Tennessee.

As a young mother in Australia, O’Neill experienced some serious health issues. Mainstream medicine did not bring relief, so she began her journey to find why she had the problem and learn how to remedy it naturally. Today, millions of people around the world watch her on YouTube to learn how to improve their health. In northeast Tennessee, interest in do-it-yourself information is highly valued, making O’Neill’s science-based lectures practical for those looking for ways to overcome life-style induced illnesses.

By using the sanctuary and streaming to a screen downstairs in the seminar room, seats were available for nearly 300 people. The local community in Rogersville were captivated by 10 lectures, followed by a Q&A. In addition, the community attended a lecture on Sabbath during the worship hour when O’Neill shared some of her own story along with secrets to relieve depression and anxiety.

O’Neill engaged the audience through illustrations on a white board along with interjecting short stories to make the information understandable. Sharing her vast knowledge, along with heartfelt illustrations, led to such a strong connection with the audience that at the end of her last lecture, many attendees gave her a standing ovation, many with tears in their eyes, sad to have the series end.

At the request of O’Neill, Steps to Christ, The Desire of Ages, The Great Controversy, and Ministry of Healing were available for attendees. She made a few references to these books in her lectures, and participants were thrilled to go home with their own copies.

The church recently remodeled space, making space specifically for seminars. Since then the church has hosted a range of seminars, especially on health and Revelation. At the end of O’Neill’s series, additional seminars were announced, resulting in more than 100 people signing up.

Members believe a healthy community is a happy one, and look forward to continuing to connect with and serve the Rogersville community.
