Nursing Home Ministry ⚕️😷

 Jacksonville’s many care facilities provide extended care for the physical needs of their residents. As the volunteer ambassadors of Christ of the Shondo Center, we provide spiritual care not only for those who reside in care centers but also for those who are employed by the facilities.

The goal of the Nursing Home ministry is to glorify God by taking His Word and His love to these facilities and all its residents. With warm hearts and open arms, we help spread the Word of God to those unable to attend worship services due to their temporary or permanent confinement.  ( ADD IN DATES, TIMES AND LOCATIONS ) 

If receptive of the word brought forth, and care given, we leave no one untouched by the love of Jesus.

In the past 24 months, our Shondo Center ministers and evangelists have held approximately  200 services, ministered to hundreds of attendees, and made many life changing, one-on-one requested visits. God has honored this ministry with quite a few first-time decisions for Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives during these times. We praise God for how He is working across this ministry and across the entire Shondo Center Family.

Testimonial

…as soon as we appeared at her door she said to us, “I want to become a Christian!” She had attended our church services at the care center only twice, because she was too ill.  We had the joy of explaining God’s love and plan of salvation and to pray with her.  It was with such solemnity that she received the Lord – truly an amazing moment. -Evangelist Elect Yolanda Myles .

Mens and Womens Prison MInistry

Sharing the Love of Christ

Shondo Center Ministry prison outreach exists to bring the love of Christ to currently or previously incarcerated men and women and their families throughout Duval and surrounding counties. We work with individuals in the Duval, Clay, and Baker County Jail systems, as well as the Camp Blanding  Boot Camp, – through in-prison visitations and Biblical studies, as well as post-prison and outreach programs. To provide support and guidance to these hurting people, we provide a range of Christian worship services, discipleship classes, individual counseling ( when available), and job preparation services.

Our Work

Our in-prison programs include a discipleship program, where CPO staff and volunteers connect in a meaningful way with inmates in Jail to facilitate developing a Christ-like character through the practical application of God’s Word. Once inmates have been released, we follow up through our Post Prison Ministry. We provide mentoring, assistance in connecting with the body of Christ, assist in the direction to vocational training, and character building. As we continue to grow, we hope to offer more outreach programs available to both men and women who have completed their time served.

Matthew 25:36

“…I was in prison and you came to visit me.” 

• The Significance:
  Jesus emphasizes that when people minister to those in need, they are essentially ministering to Him. Therefore, visiting prisoners is a way to show compassion and care for those who are suffering and in need, and is seen as an act of service to Christ. 
• Other Relevant Verses:
• Psalm 69:33: “For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise his own people who are prisoners.” 
• Hebrews 13:3: “Remember those in prison as if in prison with them.”
