Boomer Spirituality

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
You may wonder: Why have a link to Boomer Spirituality on our Social Justice and Outreach webpage? The simple answer is that from the time they were young, Boomers have always wanted to make a difference in their world.

Today many Boomers and older adults have more free time available to be of service to others, as well as reasonably good health to enable them to take up new ministries that benefit the church and the world. With years of experience behind them, Boomers are not only able to restore a dimension of long-term thinking in society, but they are also better able to look at the world’s problems from a much needed third-person perspective. Moreover, they are ideally suited to serve as mentors to the younger generations coming up behind them.

God’s call on our lives is for the whole of life, not just the first half. Have a look at some of the vital outreach ministries outlined on this website and see how you too can make a difference! Perhaps God is calling you “for such a time as this”. (Esther 4:14)
