WHAT IS LIFT?
LIFT is a ministry/program that supports Caregivers who are taking care of their loved ones, who are unable to take care of themselves.
In the Book of Exodus, Moses and the Israelites were in a battle the Amalekites. Exodus 17:11 says, "As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning". So, when Moses became weary, he received assistance from his brother Aaron and a man called Hur. They kept his hands lifted until the battle was won!
That's what LIFT seeks to do! We seek to come alongside caring people who are growing wearing in a noble battle to take care of the people they love. How do we do that? In ways 3: Creating Community, Connecting with Professionals, and Caring for the Caregiver.
Connecting with Professionals
We bring in Care Professionals to share vital information on how to properly care for your loved one whether they be at home or in a facility. They will educate on aspects of home care, health insurance, hospice care, chronic diseases, mental health issues, and available resources to help you to properly care for your loved one.
Creating a Community
Caring for a loved-one can be a lonely journey. It's easy for a person or a family to sometimes feel isolated. Just to know that you are not alone and that others understand what you are going through, can be a powerful encouragement!
Caring for the Caregiver
Few things are more taxing and emotionally draining as being a Caregiver. It's difficult to care for others when we ourselves are not at our best. That's why self-care is critical. We will bring in chaplains, counselors, and other professionals to make sure you as a Caregiver have the tools to assess your emotional and spiritual health to take care of yourself.
