Througho
ut the United States there are thousands of convalescent and nursing homes,
where individuals reside for a variety of reasons. Many are there to recuperate from
an illness before going home; some reside for a short time to gain strength following
surgery. However there are countless residents who have lived in these facilities
for periods of time ranging from one month to several years.
According to unofficial sources, it is possible, that up to sixty percent of these individuals may never receive a visit from an outside source, often forgotten by their family and friends. Life-Line visits all these people, talking to, reading to and, meeting many of their personal needs trough our benevolence fund when available, as we rely on individual and corporate tax deductible contributions to the ministry.
Life-Line Ministries was founded by Pastor Jim Hakes with a vision to minister in our vast Convalescent and Retirement community in San Diego County and beyond. Life-Line Ministries meets or exceeds all HPPA and California State rules and regulations regarding patient confidentiality and personal contact.

Donna Scheffler Urgent need.
SAN DIEGO --
A Lakeside woman rescued from a burning van by a group of strangers
last week spoke to 10News about her "angels." On Dec. 29, 62-year-old Donna Scheffler
was driving a transport van when it began experiencing mechanical problems near the
intersection of Main Street and Sunshine Avenue in El Cajon. Three other people in
the vehicle were able to escape, but Scheffler, who was in a wheelchair, could not
exit the van.
Joe Spencer and his 8-year-old daughter were across the street when they noticed several people run by in a panic the woman trapped in the van. "I got closer and I saw some flames coming from the front and people were saying, 'Fire, fire, the car's on fire.' They were panicking because they couldn't get the wheelchair, so they had to get as many people as possible to get her out," said Spencer, who was involved in the rescue effort.
You can help to replace the van by donating to “The Donna Scheffler Trust” at Life-Line Ministries, 8805 N Magnolia Ave., Santee, CA 92071. Call Pastor David Horner 619 251-8301
