widows advocates (1 Timothy 5:3 & 5:5)
#1. Pray for them and visit them regularly
#2. Lead them in Bible study, prayer and devotion regularly
#3. Send them cards and treats
#4. Prepare a meal for them and share a meal with them
#5. Share Holidays and Birthdays with them
#6. Raise money as a family to financially sponsor their care each month through Abiding Hearts Ministry
#7. Participate in a service day when your widow has a big need that requires a lot of helping hands
#8. Help them take care of their home and yard
#9. Look out for health care or social needs that they may have
#10. Provide OT, PT, or SW skills
This is a wonderful opportunity for families to serve together. It provides a very practical way for you to disciple one another & to nurture each other's hearts to reflect the Defender of Widows and the God of all comfort. Be creative: send pictures or crafts with your monthly letters, have a bake sale or a lemon-aid stand or let your children earn money around the house to help raise money to take care of the widow. Most of these people have no family or they have families who are not involved in their lives. They are lonely and forgotten, and in most cases we will be the only people reaching out to them.

One day Jesus was "preaching the Word" in a home. Four men carried their paralyzed friend all the way from his home to this house where Jesus was, believing that if they brought their friend to Jesus then He would heal him. However, they could not get inside the house because there was a huge crowd of people. What did they do? They did not give up and walk away discouraged because actually getting to Jesus seemed impossible, instead they persevered in faithful determination to lay their friend at the feet of Jesus. The four men climbed up onto the roof of the house and literally dug through the branches, sticks, mud, clay and tiles until they made an opening in the roof that was large enough for their friend to fit through. They then lowered their paralyzed friend down through the hole in the roof and layed him at the feet of Jesus. When Jesus saw "their faith," He told the paralytic "your sins are forgiven...rise, pick up your mat and go home." The man immediately got up and walked home. Everyone was amazed and glorified God. Do not miss this! Jesus healed the paralyzed man because of his friends faith! Notice what Jesus said to the man: first-"your sins are forgiven," and second- "rise, pick up your mat and go home." In response to the faith of the four friends, Jesus executed all power and authority to eternally heal the man! Most importantly, Jesus healed the man from the spiritual sickness of sin that separated him from God. Then, he performed a very visible miracle of physical healing to reflect the invisible miracle of spiritual healing that had just taken place by healing the man's paralysis. What was the end result? "Everyone was amazed and glorified God." GOD WAS GLORIFIED! Just like these four men of faith, we want to break through all that stands in the way of people seeing Jesus and coming to Him. We want to walk with people into the presence of Jesus where they can find eternal healing and hope. Will you please join us in bringing the all powerful love of Christ to widows who are sick, elderly, alone, hurting, helpless and in great need, for the glory of God?
I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me....whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.
Matthew 25: 35-40
