Nursing Home Ministry

"... I was sick and you visited Me; ..."
Matt. 25:36

Onward Christian Soldiers

On January 30th, 1999; Sis. Joann Jeter and a few Christian Soldiers( Sis. Pauline Jeter, Sis. Ann Cohen, Sis. Ashley Glenn and Sis. Carmelita Woods) set out to do something that God had laid on Joann's heart to do for some time; visit nursing homes. Mrs. Pauline Jeter started the day off with a prayer as they got into their vehicles to spread joy and love to those who had no family to care for them. Originally the ministry was intending to go to two nursing homes in the Spartanburg community, Hall's and Moutainview. Their purpose would be to go into the nursing homes and share scripture, sing songs of praise and to just be there for the patients to talk to.

After arriving at Hall's Nursing Home, the soldiers lead the patients in a devotional service with such soul-stirring selections as: "Do You Know The Man", "Yes Jesus Loves Me", This Little Light of Mine" and "Come By Here Lord". They were well recieved by the patients and the visit was concluded with hugs, kisses, gift bags and "I Love You's" from everyone.

They continue to visit nursing homes on a monthly basis.
