Elder Home
Even to your old age and gray hairs, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and will carry you; I will sustain you and rescue you.
[Isaiah 46:4]
Senehase Nawathena – A Resting Place of Love
Christ Gospel Church's Elders Home, Senehase Nawathena, is not just a place for senior citizens to live; it is a sanctuary of hope, love, and care. Rooted in the vision of Rev. Prophet W.A.D. Kingsley, the chairman and founder of Christ Gospel Church, this unique elders’ home embodies the heart of the church's mission to reflect the love of God as revealed in the Bible.
Unlike traditional elder care facilities, Senehase Nawathena operates on a distinct philosophy. It is not merely about meeting physical needs but about nurturing the spiritual, emotional, and social well-being of its residents. Currently, four women elders call this home, where they are treated not as dependents but as valued members of the church family.
The home's name, Senehase Nawathena (translated as "A Resting Place of Love"), reflects its purpose. It is a place where the elders experience the deep, transformative love of Christ. Through personalized care, regular fellowship, and spiritual engagement, the home offers a renewed sense of purpose and belonging to its residents.
Rev. Prophet Kingsley’s vision is at the core of this ministry. His compassionate heart drives the church to embrace the elders with dignity and honor, recognizing them as an integral part of the community. Inspired by the biblical mandate to care for the widows and the elderly (James 1:27, Leviticus 19:32), Senehase Nawathena is a testimony to the church's commitment to living out their faith in action.
The home also provides opportunities for its residents to participate in worship, prayer, and community outreach. This not only strengthens their faith but also empowers them to share God's love with others, even in their later years.
In a world where the elderly are often overlooked or forgotten, Senehase Nawathena stands as a beacon of hope. It reminds us all of the value of every life, regardless of age, and of the boundless love of God that embraces all generations.
Through Senehase Nawathena, Christ Gospel Church continues to fulfill its broader mission of reaching and transforming lives, one soul at a time.
