After watching both of his parents take their last breaths in nursing homes, Dr. Tim Eatman proceeded to go back to the nursing homes…over 2,500 times! As Doctor Sunshine, he takes his Holyfun Music Ministry to retirement homes and memory care units throughout Central Texas. For twenty-five years he’s been singing, strumming, praying, and laughing along with the beautiful souls who are trying to die with dignity.
Holyfun Music Ministry is celebrating twenty-five years of service to seniors in nursing homes who are struggling through the last act of their life movie. Doctor Sunshine is a one-man missionary on a mission ordained by God: To share His message of peace, love, and joy. In 2001, the residents in a Mesquite, Texas nursing home named him “Doctor Sunshine” because he “brightens our day and warms our hearts!”
God has commissioned Dr. Eatman to not only go to the “foreign jungle” called nursing homes, but He also commissioned him to write a book about his journey. He tells over one hundred first-hand stories in his new book Nursing Homes – A Missionary’s Journey Through Heaven’s Waiting Room. They will touch your heart and beckon you to stay there. Doctor Sunshine’s spiritual journey will take you deep inside a nursing home. The author wants you to see it, hear it, smell it, and feel it. And while you are there, he will introduce you to some beautiful souls you will instantly love. It is time for our society to take a new look at old faces.
