While also ministering to the care staff as they are drawn into our time together and hear the gospel. It’s a win-win!
Volunteers are encouraged to participate in the way they are comfortable, reading short devotionals, dancing with the residents, singing (we have a small volunteer band), or just talking with them. The residents truly seem to enjoy our visits and we know that, even though this is a short time in their week, we are being a blessing to them. They are the forgotten people, but not forgotten by our Lord.
