Faith in Action: Lauderhill SDA Church Brings Heart to Senior Communities

On March 15th, members of Lauderhill Seventh-Day Adventist Church and their families brought joy, creativity, and compassion to seniors at Active Senior Living and Fort Lauderdale Health and Rehab.

Through wreath-making, songs, and a Bible-based skit, they reminded residents that they are seen, loved, and never alone.

This powerful day of connection beautifully reflects Heart2Heart’s mission to restore dignity and hope to isolated seniors—one loving act at a time.

The Harvest is Plentiful, but the Laborers are Few

The Harvest is Plentiful, but the Laborers are Few

The Harvest is Plentiful—Will We Step Up?

By Juan Gallo, CEO of Heart2Heart Outreach

Senior ministry is often overlooked, yet the need has never been greater. As Matthew 9:37 reminds us, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” Many seniors are longing for connection, hope, and reassurance, yet too often, they are forgotten.

A recent encounter with an elderly neighbor reminded me of this urgency. She rushed to church each morning, afraid of being scolded for arriving late—more focused on performance than grace. In that moment, I reminded her of God’s deep love, something so many seniors need to hear.

Keeping Love Alive: Honoring Seniors & Embracing God’s Love This Valentine’s Day

Feb 9, 2025

A Message from Our CEO: Keeping Love Alive

Valentine’s Day is more than romance—it’s a reminder of selfless, enduring love rooted in faith. As we celebrate, let’s reflect on God’s unfailing love and share it with those who need it most—our seniors.

Many elderly individuals long for connection. This Valentine’s Day, let’s keep love alive through simple acts of kindness—a visit, a note, or a heartfelt conversation.

Love is more than words; it’s a choice to serve and uplift. Together, let’s remind our seniors they are seen, valued, and deeply loved.

2025: A New Year, A New Challenge

2025: A New Year, A New Challenge

Jan 2, 2025

As 2025 begins, I reflect on 2024 with gratitude and purpose. It was a tumultuous year—marked by change, uncertainty, and challenges that left many wondering, “what’s next?” From mysterious drones to growing community struggles, the year brought a sense of cognitive dissonance—the tension when reality clashes with our expectations.

For me, this dissonance was most striking in the faces of vulnerable seniors in our community, whose stories revealed the heartbreaking realities of isolation and need.
