List-like in structure?
Hi. Please help. Do you think which is correct?
1. Eating with him, helping him whenever he asks for help, going out to places with him does magic in terms of mending an old broken tie.
2. Eating with him, helping him whenever he asks for help, and going out to places with him do magic in terms of mending an old broken tie.
How about this pair? Do you think we need to put the conjunction "and" after the word "help"?
1. Eating with him almost daily, helping him whenever he asks for help, going out to places with him, he tried hard to mend an old broken tie.
2. Eating with him daily, helping him whenever he asks for help and going out to places with him, he tried hard to mend an old broken tie.

Hi. Why do you think it has to be the verb "brings" instead of "bring" in what looks to be list-like in structure (at the first glance at least) in this part of a sentence?

Hi. Thank you, again. I don't have the book right now which I used to jot down that part of the sentence. Anyway, I searched for the phrase "To strengthen the saints, to" on the Google Book Search and came up with this sentence for the book named "The Holy Spirit" by James F Linzey, and it looked very similar to the sentence I saw (as far as I can remember) in the book I had. Would you comment on
