FORGOTTEN TREASURES HISTORY & SCOPE

 

     Started in 1984 by J. W. & Marilyn Thomas , this outreach provides opportunities for lay people to serve the elderly in care centers. A short orientation, training, hands on ministry in nursing homes brings joy and hope to lonely residents.

     Church services and one on one ministry is most needed. Music, children, and pets visits are wonderful blessings to bring encouragement to believers and salvation to non-believers in their autumn years facing eternity.

THE COMEBACK KID

 

     Our longtime volunteer and friend Roland recently found Denver traffic too much one day resulting in bumps, bruises and a terminally crushed fender.  He was hospitalized but never complained, sent to Western Hills Nursing home for re-hab for several weeks (but never stopped smiling) spent a month or two wrestling with well meaning people who were not sure he should continue his ministry to the elderly.

     As of this date he is not only continuing his faithful ministry in several homes but has a brand new van to travel in, the gift from a friend of many years.  Roland NEVER GAVE UP on the vision to minister church services and bible studies and is back in full swing.  Inspiration? YES!  Courage under pressure to stop driving?  ALWAYS! Strong in faith?  THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT!  God Bless Roland with many more years reaching out to people in nursing homes who love to see him come every week.
