		<title>The Messages We Send</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In our last blog we dealt with your personal encounter with our Lord and how the Holy Spirit moves you into a relationship that gives you a positive eternal life guarantee to heaven.

		<title>Facing Giants that Begin as Concerns Pt 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we last talked in regard to giants, we left the last six of our &#8220;battles&#8221; with the fact that giants can be conquered IF we dwell in God&#8217;s Word. Anger, resentment, doubt, procrastination, failure, and jealousy are giants in our life.  They can all be conquered by our God in his Word. *     *     [...]]]></description>

		<title>Concerns in Life that are &#8220;GIANTS&#8221; Pt 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In our last computer get together, suicide was our topic.  I spoke in written form about causes that affect some individuals to choose the suicide path. You may say, &#8220;I have never thought or will never think of being a suicide statistic.&#8221; Yet, Dr. David Jeremiah, the pastor of Shadow Mountain Church in California, has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stress Factors Affecting The Church and The Community Among The Encore Generation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my earlier blogs I concerned myself with facts related to organization and leadership involved in older ministry plans.  However, one thing that strongly affects the longevity revolution in the church and church community is what I left you with the last time,  &#8221;The greatest proportion of suicides are among the elderly&#8221; as reported by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who Do We Get to Do Ministry?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the last few months I have visited several older adult church groups in order to find out where they are in ministry opportunities.  There are several things that were revealed as I approached these church groups. One of the issues that surfaced, in more than one situation, is the absence of older adult leaders. [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Do We Do First?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We need to be aware that the older adult group is growing.  By the same token we need to realize another statistic. By 2010, 40% of the average North American Congregation will be over 50. Therefore, not only does the church have to plan ministry for older adults (65-74), maturing adults (75+), but also for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Age Wave</title>

		<title>The Scope</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Scope of Older Adult Ministry Why? The Great Commission is both timeless and ageless.  Many people have bought into the myth that there is some magical age at which one retires, even from Christian service.  Some churches unintentionally feed this myth. The generations of older adults have a history of mobilizing to get the [...]]]></description>
