He's been spiritually open and desires to join a group at church with people around his age. Has been busy with school and doesn't have a car, which makes it harder fro him to come out. Also, because he's a healthcare worker, he is weary of being together with a large group due to COVID. He came to one Kaleo Sunday and really enjoyed his time. Pray that he will continue to be spiritually open despite the impedances, and that he could come out to future events when he feels safe.

Update 4/23
He came to Easter service and tagged along with Richard all day: got a tour of HB, then went to HHWC, Redwood, AND joined the Easter BBQ.

She said she had been exposed to Christianity at an early age but went back to Buddhism that has performed miraculous healing on her legs at one point. She didn't show much interest in the Bible and SWS, but she is open to talking to me about different topics.

• please pray for her time at OHWC that she will find her life is given meaning by God, for she always seems to be lonely and sad
• openness to the SWS and will be interested that God will change her life

Unable to understand him in normal conversation because he mumbles and looks mad, but he sticks around and actually sings the words to the hymns and read the letter out loud that the college student wrote to him. Pray that despite the inability to converse, that he is able to understand the messages and trust in Jesus as his Lord and Savior (not sure if He is Christian, but appears that he is churched since he knows most of the hymns).

Update - 8/16/22
Still visiting him in his room and singing hymns together and giving him the abridged message. I have him read the passage out loud to try to engage his mind and speech. He is still able to do so, though slightly hard to decipher what he is saying but he is reading. I notice that he seems to shout more randomly these days, I pray that his cognitive levels to not diminish too quickly.

Update - 4/23
Visit him in his room each Sunday since there are no large group time (until they find an activities coordinator). I bring my iPad and play hymns videos on Youtube and he loves singing along. He likes to read passage out loud, too. He professes that Jesus is His Lord and Savior. Pray that he will continue to hold on to his faith and that his mood will improve.]]> 2022-01-27 04:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2015045176 https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2015046397 African American man, professing Christian since young age.

He acknowledges all the bad he has done in the past (past sins). But he doesn't think he needs to be saved by God because he is a good person now (he tries to be).

He is on week 6 of 8 of the regiment. Pray for him to be able to complete the therapy and be physically healed. He has made it clear to us that he is hungry for God's word, and received a very large print Bible from us. Pray for him to read and be encouraged by God's word.]]> 2022-08-16 04:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2261871871 https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2262912429 For the activity room to open.

Please pray for opportunities to connect them with people they can minister to outside the nursing home  ]]> 2022-08-17 03:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2262916828 richarddongses https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2262919474 Elderly man in his 50s who has a big brain injury due to an accident (?). But he is still able to talk, remember details of the past, holds onto his faith (he professes that Jesus is his Lord and Savior), and has a girlfriend that goes to another care home that he calls everyday. He smokes 3 times a day, and is very on the dot on when it's time to smoke. Pray that he will continue to hold onto his faith, and that he would start to smoke less, since it's a big issue for him (even nurses recognize this).]]> 2022-08-17 04:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2262919474 richarddongses https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2262920984 Elderly white lady that comes to our church service but is unable to hold a short conversation because she will drift and talk about random things soon after. Please pray that we will be able to find out for sure if she is a Christian (been hard because her responses have been random), and if not, that we can speak to her at a time when she is aware and understanding so she can make a decision.]]> 2022-08-17 04:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2262920984 https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2272319241 He said he is American Baptist, but it seems he stopped believing in God. He thinks all religion leads to the same thing. Please pray we have more opportunity to hear his background and learn how he comes to this conclusion. Tried to ask on 8/14, but did not get a clear picture yet.

She respects every religion. She said she wanted to go back to school to learn interpersonal communication how to talk to different people. She is very nice and talkative, but hard to get deep for spiritual things. She prefers not to express or share her thoughts last time I talked to her.

First time meeting her, we chatted for awhile, but after that Sunday she always leave the activity room after our last song. So I do not have the chance to have further conversation with her yet. She does not like to be at this facility and mentioned with me that her friend is trying to get her out from this place. However, she is a very nice lady, but sometime it is hard to understand what she said if it is a long conversation. updated on 8/25/22

She has not been joining the service time at the activity room for the past two weeks, but I got the chance to visit her room last week to hand her a birthday gift. And I got the chance to meet her two roommates, Betty and Alma. Alma has a stroke, so she is very weak. Please pray, that we will have the chance to do a room visit to her room 414! ]]> 2022-08-26 04:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2272328090 https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2272329971 She is a Taiwanese lady and Christian. Met her on 8/14/22 and she mentioned she wanted to share the gospel to the nurse that is taking care of her. She asked us for some resources where she can share the gospel with the nurse. I delivered a gospel book in Chinese to her on 8/21/22 to her room. I think her room is 210 A.

Her memory is declining. After weeks of conversing with her on sins and forgiveness. She came to point that she sees need for forgiveness of her sins through the cross, and put her faith in Jesus. Please pray that she will hold onto her conviction of her sins and God's salvation through Jesus died on the cross for her. ]]> 2022-09-18 23:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2301959143 https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2301959219 Today, we had in person service due to the rain. It was encouraging because we had 9 residents! Usually for the outdoor service, we only have 4 residents. The coordinator, Nancy said we probably can meet in person sometime soon consistently.

We think she is Christian due to the fact that the nurse regularly lets us bring her bulletins and Chinese transcript. But when Jilan and Daisy shared the Chinese gospel booklet with her, she seemed confused, but think it's mainly due to her dementia.]]> 2022-09-18 23:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2301959644 https://padlet.com/krystallen/ecmprayer2022/wish/2301961859 She is not interested in church, and would intentionally say things to annoy her roommate Ms. B loud, and also say things show how she is bothered by listening to the message we shared with Ms. B.
