I admire your dedication to treating your co-worker as a valuable human being and not just a cog in the machine to be thrown away because he's become inconvenient. Hopefully, your intervention ideas to help keep him on the job will work. It sounds like he may have some serious issues besides just being obese, so maybe help get him to a doctor, too? If his disabilities are truly incapacitating him to where he's no longer able to work, then perhaps you could look into how to apply for disability and help him navigate that process, which he might feel too discouraged to do on his own. I've heard wait times to receiving that first check can be long, so maybe your church would be able to provide him with more support until the disability income kicked in. It does sound like the human companionship from the job is important to his well-being, so if he's no longer able to work then maybe you could also try to involve him in other activities so he feels like he's still a part of something. Anyway, there are a lot of cynics on this forum, but regardless of religion, you and your church friends are doing the right thing to help someone whom society as a whole doesn't care about. Would like to hear a happy ending to this story! I wish you the best.
