A CALEB APPROACH TO LIFE
The American church of the early 21st century finds itself on the brink of an age explosion. Caleb, of the Old Testament, stood on the fringes of Hebron, the place that God had promised to him 45 years earlier, and said these words in verses 10b and 11, “So here I am today, eighty-five years old! I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. Now give me this hill country the Lord promised me that day.” Here is a man who did not let age keep him from fulfilling God’s purpose for his life nor did he expect others to serve him. Instead he embraced his second half and depended on God to help him finish well.
Innovative churches are recapturing the spirit of Caleb and creating strategic and purposeful older adult ministries. A one-size-fits-all approach to ministry has been replaced with an array of fresh ideas that recognize the multiple needs, interests and abilities of older adults. “There is great power in age: power in wisdom, power in experience, power in time and financial resources! It is time to unleash that power within congregations and churches across the country!”
Let me encourage you to live life to its fullest…taking every opportunity to learn, grow, minister, and serve the Kingdom’s work. There is great potential in each one of us to be used by God in a significant way that brings Him honor and glory! May you and I live our lives in such a way that the generations after us experience our influence upon their lives.
JOY in serving with you,
Dr. Dan Allen
