Wow! I can't believe it has been over a month since I last came to this site. I never dreamed how busy life would be as I began "Calling out the Called" for missional living. I am amazed at how many churches and individuals are so hungry for authentic missional living. I have heard some of the greatest stories and met some of the most awesome individuals.
One such person (which shall remain nameless) approached retirement at age 65 by asking God if He had anyone anywhere in the world that He wanted her to tell them about Him. She said He told her yes. So she said she told Him that if He would provide for her to go, she would continue to go and tell.
She is now 85 years active in service for Jesus. She took her first international mission trip at age 65. Now at 85 she looks back on her experiences of a dozen (that is right) international mission trips and around 8 state side mission trips. Her last international trip was in December to Guinea West Africa where she road in a dug out canoe on the ocean and up a river to an unengaged people. When she arrived on the island she was greeted very warmly. The first morning there, she arose to find the men of the village sitting around her porch waiting to hear why she was there. They wanted to hear the story of Jesus. They could listen to her, because she was old. They respect age. So she took out her evangecube and told them the story.
Missions is for everyone! Age is not a factor. Missions is for you as well. Keep living for Him.
