Our Prayer group - Christ to the World - decided to visit, preach, share Jesus to few Aged care NursingHomes (refuge for rejected and abandoned) around Sydney, Australia during the Christmas season.
Our simple program started with
- Prayers and songs of praise to Jesus Christ which they all loved and participated with interest (surprised ?)
There was an initial resistance, but with the first song itself, they all were singing (Holy Spirit ).
- Sharing the WORD of GOD - that Jesus Loves Them just as they are - No Matter what situation they are in and HE Died for them as an Eternal Sacrifice (i.e Never ending sacrifice of God).
- We sang Gospel Hymns and danced. It was touching to see few of them dancing with us - both - Men and women - expressing their joy in praising - God for each moment we were at this place - Praise the Lord (yes Jesus himself was there)
- At the end of the prayer-centered visit, we distributed gifts to every one which they accepted and loved.
I have attached some of the photos of one of the visit of a particular Nursing home.
So dear friends,
We are called by Jesus to "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34)
To Serve for Jesus is a great JOY.
After all Jesus himself said,
St Mathew 25:40 Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
St Mathew 25:45 Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
