"I command you to be openhanded toward
your brothers and toward the poor and
needy in your land."
Deut. 15:11b
Bethesda Ministry of Love in Canada
We visit ten different seniors homes, singing hymns, sharing God's love, encouraging the seniors, and bringing uplifting services on Sundays or other times. Some people in senior's homes have no family support. We are able to meet some of their felt needs, materially and spiritually. There are many other homes waiting for our services |
We bring sandwiches and soup to the Downtown East Side people, who are living on the street. On the last Sunday of each month, we network with churches and missions in the area and conduct a church service for the street people, during which we have hairdressers, cutting people's hair. |
Once the service is finished, we serve them dinner. Occasionally, we also give haircuts on the street. It is amazing how a little love and respect can break a destructive cycle. |
We work in cooperation with the Single Parents Food Bank of BC Society to distribute food hampers with loving fellowship, praying time, and haircuts We would like to establish a seniors home, because often we see older people from other cultures revert to their first language, their heart language, and the customs and cuisine of their youth. Our hope is to supply love and dignity until their earthly life ends. Many doors are opening, and the need is very great to the work that God has entrusted us. We cannot do it alone. We invite you to take part in this wondrful work of God. |
