Hospital
Visitation
by Shelby
Leathers
Illness
can be a stressful time. When hospital stays become necessary,
a friendly face and a prayer partner means the most. Here at Okolona
Christian Church you don’t have to go through it alone.
Hospital Visitation is a ministry that reaches out and shows others
we care by
visiting them during their hospital stay. It is a group of individuals
who enjoy seeing God move in our local hospitals. These caring
people make sure you have whatever you need to keep your faith
and your spirits high while you recover.
It’s an opportunity for you, as a Christian, to encourage
and lift up others. Several members of the team have said what
a blessing they have received by serving in this way. The rewards
are great. To God be the glory!
As our church grows, the needs become larger. If you have a heart
and love for people, this ministry has a place for you, as we
currently need volunteers. If you are interested in helping with
this outreach, please call Shelby Leathers, 502-239-7233 with
any questions.
Hope to hear from you!
“Is there anyone among you sick? Let him call for the
elders
of
the church,and let them pray over him,anointing
him
with
oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will
save
the sick, and the Lord will raise him up...”
James 5:14-15 NKJV
