No matter your age or stage in life, the Lord always desires our involvement in the things He is doing around us. How each of us serves might look different, but in Christ, there is always a reason to say YES!

Ron & Sally Roberts | Continuous Thread of God’s Faithfulness

Ron and Sally Roberts share heartfelt stories about their commitment to the local church and God’s continuous thread of faithfulness throughout their 62-year marriage.

Feeding the Soul: Rick + Traci Harvey

Listen to what God can do through a couple passionate about serving Him AFTER stepping aside from ‘full-time ministry’ positions! 19 years ago Rick & Traci Harvey served a couple Cornish hens from a humble trailer and gave away their first bag of donated clothing, Since then God has multiplied the scope and impact of Soul Food Café Mission [https://www.soulfoodcafemission.org/] in Conway, Arkansas ... through an amazing volunteer workforce made up largely of adults over sixty. [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e5512be4b07c49c65ae8c1/1618600534788-LT9VL2HHH5705LTRXLEB/Screen+Shot+2021-04-16+at+1.14.09+PM.png?format=1000w] While these adults often initially wonder if they still have something worthwhile to offer, many quickly discover incredible niches of service ... so much more gratifying than sitting at home watching TV! Most of these volunteers ... some in their sixties, seventies, eighties and even nineties ... were raised with a tenacious work ethic. Hard work still suits them well, as they show Christ’s compassion to others. Now operating out of a 14,400 square foot structure, hundreds are served each week with a hot meal, clothing, haircuts, counseling, and a message from God’s Word.

Rescuing Sex-Trafficked Victims: Vicki Proffit

As executive director of Sarah’s Home in Colorado [https://www.sarahshome.us/], Vicki Proffit (at the age of seventy) is another vivid example of someone saying ‘YES!” to God and being young enough to serve. Addressing the unimaginable horror of children being sex-trafficked right here in the United States, Sarah’s Home offers both healing and hope to young women. [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e5512be4b07c49c65ae8c1/1616695968348-NGDZGKFTBQGW7LFTE2WR/image-asset.png?format=1000w] https://www.sarahshome.us/ While praying continually for God to change hearts, God has used older adults in dramatic ways to see the dream of Sarah’s Home realized. Many older volunteers have helped with needs such as construction, counseling, medical care, life skills and job training, language, general education, and Biblical discipleship. Vicki explains that these are normal girls with extra layers of wounds, often from homes full of turmoil. The transforming power of God is amazing, as many of these women enter angry, scared and untouchable and graduate with a solid foundation in Christ. Please listen to Vicki’s inspiring stories, flowing from a heart of love and compassion. Hear, too, how God is helping to establish Daniel’s Home [https://www.sarahshome.us/daniels-home] as well.
