The people sat enthralled. Then God gave me a message. I began to speak about Jesus being the Messiah, the promised One, the Seed of the woman. I went all through the Old Testament to Malachi with them, never once touching on the New Testament, but preaching Jesus entirely from the Old. After the meeting these people very graciously showed me and those who had come with me all around the synagogue, explaining everything. We had a very enjoyable time. I thank the Lord that as a result of this service two Jewish people were saved. They have already gone on to be with the Lord. * * * * * * * 10 VOLUNTEER NURSING When I am at home I do volunteer nursing at a Jewish hospital. How I love that work! How I love my people! Some have asked me, "How did you ever get started doing this?" Indeed it was a very angry man, an enemy, who really opened my eyes to this great door of witnessing. I was giving out tracts on Miami Beach in Florida and having good response. Many were getting angry, many were interested, crowds were gathering. No, I never mind it when Jewish people get angry. It does not mean anything. They can get ever so loud, stand to their feet, and maybe pretend to be tearing out their hair. This day, a Gentile onlooker might have thought they were ready to tear into me, but really it did not mean a thing. It was just the Jewish manner of discussion or disagreement. One very angry man said, "Why don't you go to the Gentiles and preach to them?" I answered, "I do. But many Gentiles are Christians, you know." "Christians!" he shouted. "You go preach to them. We Jews don't need it." "Yes, you do." hate." "Going around here preaching hate," he stormed. "That's what you're doing -- stirring up "No, I'm not, sir. I love my people." "You don't love my people!" "Sure I do or I wouldn't be here today telling you about Jesus and wanting you to know Him that you might have eternal life."
"Why don't you prove it some other way?" he snarled. "Why don't you prove it in some concrete way if you love the Jews! Why don't you go do charity work or go as a volunteer in a hospital or do some other kind of work? Prove it in a concrete manner that you love the Jews instead of just saying so with your lips." I thought about that and prayed about it. He was right. Why didn't I? I came back to East St. Louis, went over to the Jewish hospital, and offered my services. I did not even know they had volunteers; but, indeed, they did -- several hundred of them. The head of the auxiliary of women volunteers asked me what I would like to do. "Would you like to work in the gift gallery?" she asked me. "No, no." "Tea room, maybe?" "No" "Do you want to take mail around every day?" "No" "Do you want to push the book cart from room to room?" "No" "Just what do you want to do?" Well, I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to get close to the patients. I had no nurse's training at all, but this was what I wanted to do, so I said to her, "May I scrub the floors in the rooms of the patients?" "O no. The hospital hires people to do that." "Well, is there any other cleaning work I can do around the patients?" "No" "Well, what I want to do is to work around the patients. Is there anything I can do?" "We don't have any volunteers doing that," she told me. "You know working with patients would entail some work that isn't quite so pleasant, especially when they're bedridden. You mean this is what you want to do work as a nurse's aide?" "Yes, I surely do."
