Publisher Marketing: For the past several years, I had had many secular jobs. Now I was unemployed and looking for work again. Toward the middle of October 2009, I was sensing a call to minister in nursing homes. Several years ago, we had ministered in nursing homes. We had four nursing homes and went to each one once a month on Sunday afternoons. This time the call was different. It seemed like I was to do it full-time. I am a preacher's kid, grew up in the church. My dad pastored for 40 years. I had worked in the church all my life. I remember many ministers coming to our home and speaking at the church, but in all those years I had never heard of anyone in full-time nursing home ministry. I was looking for a job, but God was placing in my heart a Call to full-time Nursing Home Ministry. (The Lord was answering a prayer I had prayed a couple of years before. During a time of prayer, I had rededicated my life to the Lord and wanted to be used more than ever before. I said, "Lord, put me in situations and circumstances where I can be used the most." I felt that I should be doing more than I was. I said, "Lord, put me on the fast track. Let's build Your kingdom. Let's strengthen the saved and save the lost. Tell me what to do and I'll do it." I had forgotten about that prayer.)
