Working at the hospice.

Today was our first day working at the Living Room hospice. After a time of worship, our team broke up into various groups to serve as needed. Some worked in the kitchen, preparing food for the patients and staff. Others worked on the farm, harvesting passion fruit to be sold in order to support the hospice. Still others spent their day caring for the patients. Many of the patients are completely dependent on the living room staff since they are unable to perform the most basic human functions such as feeding, bathing, and clothing themselves.

One man’s story particularly touched me. Jacob is a 39 year old father of three who worked as a history teacher before his injury. On July 7, 2010, a man broke into his home and attacked him, paralyzing him from the chest down. When Jacob arrived at the Living Room last August, he could barely move. Now due to a nutritious diet, physical therapy and much prayer, he is able to help himself out of bed, and push himself unassisted in his wheelchair. Please pray for God’s continued healing, and that God would provide for the needs of his children as they struggle to survive while their father is unable to work.

Thank you for your continued prayers for the patients, the living room staff and our team!
