The sisters in the church from Vinga Baptist and Osana Baptist wanted to do a project for the people in a nursing home. We decided on a bag of fruit and snacks. Enough was purchased for each person to receive one. Also, I had 15 blankets that were given to us by a church in Dothan, and we took them in addition to the fruit bags. There were 15 of us who went to visit, sing with , pray for and just encourage the patients in the nursing home. The ladies sung with us and many of them had tears as we sung. They appreciated the opportunity to have someone come and sing and pray with them. Bibles were taken and given to the ones who didn't have one. As you can see the lady in the picture below received a Bible, along with her fruit and blanket.
This lady also received a Bible.
This precious lady below is 103 years young!! She had a sweet smile as she posed for a picture with her new blanket.
This lady touched me. I watched her as we sung and she sung with us and tearing were running down here face. She was also very proud of her new blanket.
The group singing for the ladies.
One of the sisters from Osana church is sharing a few words of encouragement to this patient.
This lady was happy to receive a Bible and she began to read it. Pray for the Lord to speak to her heart through His word!
Our group is sharing another song with the patients.
This is one of the staff of the nursing home. Her face lit up with a big smile as she was also given a bag of fruit, along with the other 2 staff member there.
This was our first opportunity to visit a nursing home in Arad. The people there are lonely just as they are in the U.S. This time of year they receive more visitors but we need to be aware these people need visits all throughout the year, not just holidays.
