MINISTRY TO THE FORGOTTEN Several times each month groups of talented young people from Cedarville College carry cheer, comfort and Christian love to hundreds of inmates in old folks' homes. These students carry on regular church services for those who are able to assemble and visit from patient to patient to those who are bed-ridden. The word of God is presented both musically and orally. The expression on their faces reveals their joy and thanks for the interest shown them. Many Christians are in these institutions and they blend their voices with ours in thanksgiving to God. JAIL MINISTRY "And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we taint not." This verse continues to be a blessing to each of the boys in the two teams that go each Sunday to the county jails in Springfield and Xenia. Many times as the Word is given to the inmates it seems that they do not become concerned about their soul's destiny, but yet it is our God-given responsibility to sow the seed and to trust that God will send forth His Spirit to bring them unto Salvation. God's Word definitely says that His Word will not return unto Him void and because of this promise men in the jails have turned from their wicked ways unto Christ and have trusted Him as their personal Saviour. 78
