Testimony: One Bible teacher challenged us to visit hospitals, to visit the sick, to read the Bible to the elderly in nursing homes, to visit prisoners in jail and to feed and clothe the poor. I had never visited prisons before so I was nervous about it at first. However I asked God for courage and went along with people who had done it before. After sharing the gospel with those in prison, I saw them as redeemed children of God. Later we went to a nursing home where we read the Bible which brought life to those elderly faces. In doing these things my eyes were opened to a hurting world as I saw how selfish I was in my own little world.
