Home-BasedCare: The Silent Heroes
16 January 2009Establishing and training people for Home-Based Care Groups is a crucial part of NCM’s AIDS ministry. Home-Based Care seeks out those who are so afflicted with HIV and AIDS that they can no longer meet their basic needs. Volunteers have one of the most difficult and rewarding ministries. Often, neighbors, friends, family, and some in the church avoid and abandon the terminally ill out of fear. One or two volunteers are a true blessing when they pay a visit, read from the Bible, speak words of comfort, hold a hand, do some cooking and washing laundry, showing that Jesus cares about them regardless of their health.

Zechariah 8:3-5
This is what the LORD says: “I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain.”
This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with cane in hand because of his age. The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there.
