I have recently been inspired to try and update this page for the primary purpose of informing family and friends of the ministry that the Lord has opened at a nursing home near the church that I attend.
I am currently living in Louisville, Kentucky and attending Boyce College (the undergraduate school of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary). Nearly the entire time I have lived here I have been attending New Heights Baptist Church in South Louisville. For nearly the past year I have been able to minister in a nursing home that is only about 1 mile from the church.
God has been so gracious during our time here at the nursing home. Brothers from church have come in and preached as we hold church services (which include singing hymns, prayer, and preaching). Not only has it been encouraging to have other brothers and sisters to labor alongside of, but it has been a continual sobering joy to visit with the residents one-on-one. Many of the residents are Catholic or have spent much of their lives in the context of the church, but tragically more than often have no clue of what the gospel is and are putting more trust in their denomination or some act that they have performed rather than the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many opportunities have been provided to share the gospel with a number of these residents. Praise God for the opportunity to share the gospel with these residents in this season of their lives!
So, by God's grace I will not forget about this page and will continue to update it. Until then, if anyone should stumble across this, please pray for these residents at the nursing home: specifically Dorothy, Delores, Mary, Ms. McDaniels, Lola and Ms. Grider.
