August 13, 2025 - Open Arms Christian Academy
On Monday mornings, Amos visits Open Arms Christian Academy where he can be found bringing joy, comfort, and a sense of calm to start the day. His presence helps children feel loved and valued, fostering connections that encourage kindness and trust. For the staff, seeing Amos interact with the children is a reminder of the power of simple, unconditional love and the importance of nurturing both hearts and minds in their daily work. His visits also serve as a gentle reminder of God’s presence, drawing hearts closer to Him and reflecting His love in a tangible way.

April 16, 2025 - Maple Grove
Every week, Amos brings warmth, smiles, and companionship to the residents at Maple Grove, an assisted living and memory care facility, brightening their days with his calming presence. As he makes his rounds, Amos also offers quiet support to the dedicated staff—nurses, support staff, and caregivers—who tirelessly provide loving care. Our visits remind everyone they are seen, appreciated, and not alone. Through our ministry of comfort, we share a simple yet powerful message: God is present in their lives.

June 26, 2024 - Armed Force Retirement Home in Washington, D.C.
Through God’s plan, Amos has a new opportunity to serve those who have given so much to our nation. Recently, Amos and his veteran handler went to visit the residents at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Washington, DC. This beautiful facility and grounds have served our nation’s enlisted military personnel since 1851.
Everyone was so friendly and happy to see Amos! His handlers sat and talked with residents and listened as they shared stories. It was a blessing getting to know them, and we are excited to return and see them again!
It’s a joy to share God’s love and honor these heroes for their service!
