 We are in need of volunteers to visit patients in your community. Although visiting hospice patients isn't for everyone, for those who choose to give back in this way, it is a very rewarding experience for both volunteer and patient. Wouldn't we all want someone there for us when we needed the support. Angelic Health Hospice looking for volunteers For as little as an hour or two a month you can make a difference to a hospice patient in your community. Angelic Health Palliative & Hospice Care is asking you to share your time and compassion to those on their final journey. Your visits can mean so very much to hospice patients and their loved ones. Your volunteer service will fit your schedule and interests, and visit assignments are your choice.

Our Mission focus for September is on Bobby and Amanda Peoples.  Bobby and Amanda are

still working in La Ceiba, Honduras.  Over the past year they have realized there is

a great need for independent life skills to be taught to youth transitioning out of

children's homes of Honduras.  They are now teaching important life skills through

the platform of a small bakery to young women, as well as teaching baking classes

in various children"s homes throughout the country.  Amanda is also leading Bible

studies and small groups for young mothers.  The main focus of their ministry is

mentoring and discipleship and preparing vulnerable youth to live independently. 

They have spent the past five years building relationships with children in La

Ceiba.  Many of these children have left the children's home where they were working,

but Bobby and Amanda continue to be in relationship with them and invest in their

lives.  Currently they do not have enough support to cover their budget.  If they are

to stay in Honduras, continuing the work that God has started, they need our help.
