Key Features:
- This handy book dispels the myths—and fears—that many senior couples face as they consider missionary service.
- Engaging actual experiences tie together the principles given in each chapter.
- The author candidly addresses sensitive situations and gives assurance to those planning to serve in their "golden years."
At a mission reunion of mature couples and single sisters, one of the guests was a 60-year-old woman in good health with an equally healthy bank account. She listened to the adventures, and while admitting wistful admiration, she announced she could never go on a mission at her age.
"Why not?" someone asked.
"I’m not sure," she said. "I guess I’m afraid. I’m too old to go tracting, deal with rejection, or learn a foreign language. It doesn’t sound worth the effort."
She couldn’t be more wrong.
This volume uses true short stories to answer questions and concerns of mature Church members who don’t realize how much they have to offer. The experiences of former "wrinkled missionaries" provide reassurance and courage. They’ve served in a vast variety of assignments throughout the world.
If you’ve survived to a respectable age, in spite of hearing aids and hip replacements, you’ve never been more valuable. Come join the work—bring your own oxygen!
Reviews-
Phyllis Gunderson is a delight to read and has assembled here many fascinating stories of missionaries who have spent some of their golden years making life golden for others . . . and in many different ways! I was inspired!
