"Cast me not off in the time of old age, forsake me not when my strength faileth" Psalm 71:9

OUR MISSION       Jesus states in His Precious and Holy Word, “pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction.... God commands us to have a genuine Christian concern for the welfare (spiritual, economical and physical) for these dear precious and aged souls.       Through our years of experience of working within the confines of the nursing home walls we have witnessed two predominant and prevalent mind sets: loneliness and disparity! Many nursing home residents need to hear of God's enduring love; Jesus' sacrificial gift; and of the spiritual provision and guidance's of the Holy Spirit. We are talking from Florida ...to Maine ... to California ... to Washington ... to a little tiny Pacific Island called Guam! You may ask me, how do you know that these needs are so universal? My dear friend, I have witnessed it with my own eyes and this ministry has limitless potential. The fields are white and ready to harvest, but the laborers are few.       During our tenure of 21 years of active duty military service we have been afforded the opportunity to start 5 different Nursing Home Ministries and to leave them in the hands of effective church leadership prior to our departure. I guess you could say we have been, Nursing Home Ministry Planters! Our mission:       To preach the gospel, tell of Jesus' unmerited love; and to provide Pastoral guidance's; and evangelistic, Christ centered Worship Services. We also desire to be able to go into existing church ministries (upon request) and provide basic training for those involved within similar outreach ministries.
