The Nursing Home Ministry was
designed to give children, ages seven and up, the opportunity
to lead people to Jesus, preach the gospel, and lay hands on
the sick. These mighty vessels are trained to share the love
of the Lord Jesus to men and women in nursing homes.
This ministry includes monthly
visits to nursing homes, day care centers, and assisted living
facilities. Before going to a facility, the head of this ministry
meets with the children to study the word and pray. At the facilities,
the children minister individually through prayer and laying
on of hands to the men and women residents, with the first priority
always being to lead the lost to the Lord. This ministry will
occasionally team up with His Banquet Ministries to present a
skit.


Matthew 10:7-8
"And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is
at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead,
cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give."
Luke 4:18-19
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed
Me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent Me to heal the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery
of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;
to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
Acts 10:38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with
power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressd
by the devil, for God was with Him.
Romans 10:9
...if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe
in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will
be saved.


God anoints children, too, and
age is no hindrance to them. They are just as anointed at the
age of 7 as at any other age.
At one recent day care center
the children visited, 13 people accepted Jesus Christ as their
Lord, and one of the children prayed for a woman to receive healing
in her ears. During a visit to the doctor following this ministry,
the woman was told her hearing had improved. Praise God!
