We visited two more old age homes in the community. Both of these facilities had several residents that were bedridden. The pastor provided a short sermon, we served them pudding and we played bingo. We paired off, an American with a South African, to pray with these residents and bring them pudding to their room.
When we prayed over the staff at the end, they surprised us by singing so beautifully!!
A 90-year old resident shared her secret to longevity, she said, “Everything I do, the Lord is first. I love the Lord and serve Him. I ask Him what to do, He guides me.” She is blind in one eye so I assisted her with bingo. She ended up winning the final bingo prize! Listening to her talk about her faith was so sweet.
Later in the day the church hosted a luncheon for the local social workers and pastors. The church is beginning to build relationships with churches and agencies in the area so they can work together to best serve the community.
