| Our rest home ministry is our way of being a comfort to those who are confined and unable to attend regular church services in our local nursing homes. We enjoy singing, and fellowshipping with the residents, and it is an opportunity for us to reach them with the Gospel, through Bible preaching and one on one witnessing. We have seen abundant fruit as more than a dozen of these precious souls have received Christ as their Savior, and many others have received help and comfort from the preaching of the Scriptures. |
| (KJV) Proverbs 16:19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. |

| (KJV) 1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. |
| We wish to provide an opportunity for our teens and young people to fellowship with other believers of their age group, in a relaxed, but supervised setting. Outings provide the physical recreation needed for energetic youth, while other activities get them involved in the work of the ministry, helping to get the Gospel out to a lost world. We believe youth activities should have this balance, to help build our next generation of Christian leaders. |

| (KJV) Romans 10:15b How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! |

| Canvassing the streets of Xenia, we are able to offer a personal invitation, filled with a variety of Gospel tracts, to our neighbors. Many times we have the opportunity to give a full presentation of the Gospel to those who will allow us that privilege. It is our desire to make sure that everyone has the chance to come to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are available most days of the week to make personal visits, or just hit the streets with handfuls of tracts. Call to set up a time, if it is not on the church weekly schedule. We have had the opportunity to lead many souls to Christ, and many others received the packets and witness with the promise to read and consider the material. We are excited to see what the Lord has in store each time we go out on visitation. |
| Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. II Corinthians 4:1-2 |
