Consider God's challenge to
minister to the helpless!

"Pure
religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this,
to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to
keep oneself unspotted from the world."
James 1:27

PEOPLE WHO NEED YOU
There is a rich field for ministry right here in our community.
This field is ripe with open hearts that struggle every day with
loneliness, aging and boredom. They have done no more to deserve
their plight than to live a life much like yours.
This field needing your help is in the nursing homes, assisted
living homes, retirement communities, adult day-health care
centers and adult family homes that you pass by everyday on the
way to work or the mall.
This field is made up of sweet people who love and laugh and cry
and enjoy having fun and have feelings just like you do. They are
men and women, most are older, some are younger, some are
Christians, some are not.
The need these sweet people have cannot be supplied by anyone
other than someone like you. Most cannot do very much at all
about their situation. Many of these people are dependent on
someone else to help them in most everything they do.

YOU CAN HELP
If you can laugh; if you
can share a tear with someone crying; if you can sing; if you can
write or walk or talk or play games; if you can care about
someone else for just a little while every now and then ---- then
you can help!
If you know Jesus Christ, then you know what He can do for
someone who is hurting. You know what He can do for someone who
has lost their way in the confusion and suffering of life. If you
know Jesus Christ, then you know that He cares and He wants you
to care too!
If you can spare an hour or more a month and if you can get to a
facility near where you live ---- you can help!

WHAT YOU CAN DO
You can talk with your pastor or your church group leader about
getting a small company together to go once in a while to
minister at a
facility near you or your church. You can link up with a group doing care facility
ministry now. Or you can go by yourself, or with a friend. You
can do all sorts of activities ---- bingo, bowling, balloon
volleyball, crafts, sing-alongs, skits, plays, "church
services," one-on-ones, go along on outings to special
events, hold reading sessions, teach residents how to use
computers, and the list is really quite long!
In all of this, you can be a Christian witness, just by being
there and showing that Jesus cares for them through YOU! Your
reward is eternal!
