In the Garden with Jesus and Friends

In-the-Garden

After ten years of experience in helping hundreds of churches develop their own outreach to a local care center, Chaplain Bill Goodrich shares tried and proven steps to enable you to develop a fruit-bearing ministry.

IN THE GARDEN WITH JESUS AND FRIENDS
Written for both experienced ministers
and inexperienced laypersons

Bill Goodrich shares key steps and principles to enable you to develop a fruit-bearing outreach through your church-group.  In the Garden with Jesus and Friends does not explain how to provide ministry in a care center; rather, it gives a detailed plan for how and where to get your church started in this great outreach. 

In just 80 pages, you will find a thorough step-by-step process enabling you to:

  • Obtain your pastor’s support and input for developing a viable care center outreach
  • Help others see long-term care facilities as a local mission field
  • Obtain favor and build important relationships with care center staff
  • Present your nursing home outreach as an extension to your church’s vision
  • Recruit volunteers for a ministry care team
  • Support volunteers through the first few visits
  • Train volunteers for effective long-term ministry
  • Provide ongoing support for committed ministry volunteers
  • Enjoy eternal fruit and God’s favor in your nursing home outreach

Our goal is to help you develop a care ministry that will outlast the people who start it; to enable your efforts to bear fruit for generations to come.
