Religion News Service relates how one church evangelizes at nursing homes:
Rhonda Rowe and her team gathered around a diagram of the nursing
home’s floor plan and determined how to split up to avoid praying with
anyone twice.
Rowe made her way to a room where a 93-year-old woman lay in her bed
while her 87-year-old roommate sat in a wheelchair. Rowe knelt between
them and went through her “Nursing Home Gospel Soul-Winning Script.” “Fill me with your Holy Spirit and fire of God,” the 93-year-old repeated. “I’m on my way to heaven. I have Jesus in my heart.” Rowe was soon off to the next room, but before she left, acknowledged that she might never see them again on earth. “I’ll see you girls in
heaven!” she chirped.
Welcome to the world of nursing home evangelism, where teams of lay
evangelists target senior citizens for one last chance in this life
for glory in the next.
