The Friends of Jesus Ministry was birthed by Minister Phyllis Fletcher in February 2012, after the Lord spoke a word of new direction: to begin an outreach ministry at Complete Care at Groton Regency.
It began with several leaders and teens from the New Young Generation Teen Ministry and later opened to the whole congregation. Many members, youth and adults alike, have remained faithful and carry a great heart for ministering to the elderly.
We help residents from their rooms to the fellowship hall, then share a service of praise and worship, a word of encouragement, testimonies, and prayer. After our spiritual enrichment, we provide in the natural, as the youth host bingo games and prizes that the residents love.
Our name comes from the residents' number one requested hymn, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” They have brought us to tears many times as they share how grateful they are for the time we spend together, and we see the power of God transform them as they worship Jesus. Please keep the residents in your prayers, as many face illness, physical challenges, and loneliness.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”John 15:13
