Chris.
No one likes to
hear that someone they love or respect is ill. As True Believers there are
several ways in which we may be able to respond to ill people. Firstly, we can
pray for them and their immediate family members. Secondly, we may be able to
visit them, encourage them and pray with them. Thirdly, we can consider how we,
or the Church, may be able to help the immediate family members.
