My Journey into Care Ministry

My journey into Care Ministry started about 3 and a half years ago. A person contacted me about her friend who also attended FAC. The friend’s husband was ill with cancer and in hospice care. My contact wanted to know if the church could provide support. She later reported that her friend had said nothing at all about her own needs…she’d said, “My husband is lonely. He’d like more visitors.”

My initial thought was that I should try to arrange a pastoral visit. I contacted Pastor Ray; he was incredibly responsive…I gave him the name of the individual and he said, “I’ll go and visit him today.” I was so impressed with his response! But I couldn’t ignore a voice inside me saying, “Why don’t you visit him?” So, I responded, “Yes, I’ll do that. I’ll plan to do that.”
