Mr. John Ballard is one or our residents here at Standing Stone Care & Rehabilitation Center. He confided in our chaplain, Steve Looper, that he received a calling to preach when he was nine years old, and he has faithfully fulfilled this calling for 77 years.
Chaplain Steve asked John if he would like to preach during our Wednesday morning church service, and John gladly accepted.
John has touched hearts and souls, prayed with the sick, and encouraged fellow residents to strengthen their faith and to never give up under any circumstance.
