Older people & ‘Positive Jesus focused choices’ - with Ying Yee, Carmel Vincent and Ian Carmichael

The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele

How do we proactively serve Jesus in retirement? How might we motivate our older church members to prioritise the work of the gospel?

Mike Raiter said on The Pastor’s Heart a little while back that retirement needs rethinking to avoid the sin of the sluggard.

Mike Raiter said downing tools at 65 and spending 20 or 30 years resting is a 19th century concept and is not Christian.

But what is the alternative?

Ying Yee is lead English Pastor of Chinese Christian Church Milsons Point in Sydney.

Carmel Vincent serves as training and events coordinator at the Ministry Training Strategy.

And Ian Carmichael was CEO of Sydney’s Matthias Media.
