The Department of Community Services of Hong Kong-Macao Conference (HKMC) organized evangelistic seminars for the senior citizens living at its three nursing homes. The theme of the meetings, which were held March 10-14, 2014, was “Thriving Physically and Spiritually.” The programs and activities included health talks, Cantonese gospel music, physical exercises, gospel messages, games and refreshments.
Benson Wong, director of community services, traveled to the three nursing homes everyday to share the gospel message. He encouraged his audience to give up five things that might be preventing them from enjoying happiness. The five things are holding onto unpleasant experiences, resentment, worries, junk thoughts and self-pity. He invited the audience to accept God’s way of forgiveness and to ask God to help remove sinful thoughts from their hearts.
On March 17, HKMC chartered buses to bring all the residents from the three nursing homes to one location for a gathering. Nearly a hundred and fifty senior citizens had a wonderful afternoon together. The united meeting was a climax to a five-day evangelistic effort.
We pray that HKMC reaps a good harvest as the workers there extend their outreach to the elderly.
