Healing & Help
Why ?
To spread the love of God amongst the seniors in nursing homes and increase the number making heaven by ministering to their needs spiritually, physically, and materially.
What are our Plans?
-
Minister to the senior citizens in Nursing homes spiritually, physically, and materially.
-
Initially begin with 2 homes and improve the quality of ministration by ensuring that all members attend the discipleship classes.
-
Minister together as one group to the 2 homes every 1st and last Saturday of every month.
-
Our Vision is to Increase the ministration to 4 homes by the end of the year as God increases our membership.
How do we achieve this?
-
Praying together as a ministry fortnightly.
-
Being our brothers keeper.
-
Interceding for one another in our individual prayer closet that we will be a light to the seniors as we visit them.
-
Continue celebrating the seniors birthday with monthly cakes to the 2homes.
-
Celebrate Valentine, Easter and Xmas with them to show our love.
What are our challenges?
-
Few members show up at each visit
-
Only 2 homes that we visit all the time.
-
Reduction in the number of seniors being ministered to as a result of shortage of activity staff at the weekend to bring them out.
Solutions:
-
More volunteers to join the ministry
-
Increase the number of homes to 4 before the end of the year.
-
Increase our prayer time to weekly (Saturday) instead of fortnightly.
-
Encourage the homes to employ an assistant for the activity manager who will be available on weekends to get the residents out for the ministration.
-
Encourage each other and intercede for one another for strength.
