The question might arise, “What can our folks, who have many years of experience in the Lord’s work, do now to be productive in missions?” The following are just a few of the many areas where our seniors can be involved:
1 Many of our seniors take advantage of church-wide mission trips which allow them to see first hand the work of missionaries on the field. We have seen a number of our Senior Circuit members avail themselves of such opportunities.
2 Our Senior Circuit Ministry has some of the most choice prayer warriors in our church. Whether praying for the Mission Conference or for the individual needs of a young missionary visiting our church, our seniors should make themselves available to pray so as to be known as real prayer warriors.
3 Our seniors can have a productive part in the planning, preparation, and clean-up of our International Dinner for the Mission Conference.
4 Our seniors can communicate with some of our missionaries, and make it known to them how much we care about them and pray for them. We should get copies of their prayer letters so as to be informed of their needs and then use our collective years of experience in praying for them.
5 Our seniors can do volunteer work in our print shop, helping to put together copies of the Word of God and preparing it for shipping to missionaries around the world.
6 Our seniors can give financially to missions, as the Lord blesses them, allowing them to help spread the Gospel around the world ... remembering how the Lord honored the widow’s mite in Luke 21:1-4.
