Welcome
Waldensian Center, operating on and off since 2007, is a training program which implements the principles of true education as set forth in the Scriptures and magnified in the writings of Ellen White; in its methods, subjects, motivation, teachers, etc. It offers an all round mental, physical and spiritual training course that can be completed in about one year, preparing the student for the joy of service in this life and the higher joy of wider service in the world to come. It follows in the steps of the ancient Italian Piedmont Mountains' waldensian training school for their "Barbs" (pastors/missionaries), and schools of the early 1900s, such as Avondale College (in Australia), and Madison College (in Madison, Tenn. USA) which sought to implement the blueprint of education spoken of above, in offering an industrial, agricultural, academic, medical, and Gospel missionary training.
We are experiencing a small window of liberty, in some cases allowing people to travel in the Philippines domestically without defiling their bodies. And so, after a short trial of having a fully online training, we are postponing our online training program while we restart our onsite training while it remains possible.

To be a medical missionary we need to have a good understanding of physiology to be able to formulate an appropriate remedy.This class is a must for those who wish to be medical missionaries.
I wish to tell you that soon there will be no work done in ministerial lines but medical missionary work. The work of a minister is to minister. Our ministers are to work on the gospel plan of ministering. . . . {CH 533.1}
You will never be ministers after the gospel order till you show a decided interest in medical missionary work, the gospel of healing and blessing and strengthening. Come up to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty powers of darkness, that it be not said of you, "Curse ye Meroz, . . . curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord." Judges 5:23. . . . {CH 533.2}
... Take hold of the medical missionary work, and it will give you access to the people. Their hearts will be touched as you minister to their necessities. As you relieve their sufferings, you will find opportunity to speak to them of the love of Jesus. . . . {CH 533.3}
