My church has various outreach programs, one of which is the hospital visitation. Through regular visits to the patients at hospitals, the friendships with the patients and their families are usually built up so that the good news can be easily preached.

Many of the patients and their families we’ve visited are quite amazed at why we  have sacrificed our time, money or even put ourselves into the danger of contracting viruses. The common response to them is the love of God that urges us to share his love to those who are open and ready to receive.

Jesus told his disciples to sell their possessions and give to charity and to place their treasure in heaven where no thief comes near nor moth destroys. Doing Christian charities is a response to the calling of God’s love, not expecting to receive something in return from the persons they’ve served.
