LOAVES & FISHES-ELDERLY MINISTRY

In 2004 Rev. Sharon Titian established a 5-day a week feeding program for the elderly in Adidome.  There were many that came for both food and fellowship. They began with 25 and it grew to 45 elderly people over 70. When Sharon moved to Anloga the feeding program did not continue.

On December 28, 2016 another bridge was crossed in our process of restoration of this ministry. And what joy Rev. Donna saw on the faces in front of her! They had not heard from Titian Ministries for years and now they were here again, anticipating the Christmas gifts they were going to receive. Over the span of an hour, people came by motor bike, shared taxi, on foot, with the help of a younger person, and hobbling on canes.

Many of the people were those who had been part of the daily soup kitchen meal served for years under this  ministry, even some from way back in 2005. Madame Comfort, from the District Department of Social Welfare, had compiled a list of those who had been part of the soup kitchen and additional elderly who were in similar need. We gave out 49 gifts of food, consisting of rice, oil, soap, and a can of sardines. We added a soda in celebration of Christmas. It was also our opportunity to share the love of Christ with them through the Word and prayer. As the people left, we drove a few to their homes. They had struggled to get there, and we were not sure how they could manage to walk the distance back to town with their packages.

In 2018 we were feeding 56 elderly men and women through a monthly distribution of food, both physical and spiritual.  Madame Comfort from the Department of Social Welfare recently requested help for an older woman who was starving and not well-cared for. 

They moved her to family who love her but did not have the means to feed her. We felt to provide for her and make it possible for her to stay with them. There are so many needs all around us.  God continues to provide for these elderly folks through the support both from Canada and the United States. So we bless what we have and thank the Father for His wonderful provision.

When visiting ministries come to Adidome, ministering to the elderly is always on the agenda. Not only do they bring a message about the Lord, but they pray for them and have seen quite a few healings. their living conditions.

Rev. Donna and her team have started visiting the shut ins who cannot come to receive their food packages.

At times we make repairs on poor homes. The needs are always great. Sadly, there are 100 more waiting for help. If you would like to help, please go to the donation page. Celebration, praising the Lord and dancing is a very important part of their culture. Even these elderly folks love to dance and praise the Lord.

Now in 2025 we still feed 56 elderly. Every time someone dies, there is immediately someone waiting to take their place. Matthew 25:36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.
