What a great Ministry for the elderly ! I am elderly and I came to JESUS about 40 years ago. 🎉

It's like this in New Zealand too. There are a lot of older people who do not have knowledge of Jesus and it is more than 2 generations!

Hi Alex, I am 68 years old, but I really don’t feel like an older person. I’m sure in your eyes you look at me as a fossil. But your ministry is really inspiring and important. Thanks for sharing ❤

Hi Alex, really coming into agreement with you about older people, as a born again believer in my late 80's, I'm a Prayer Warrior but sadly due to health issues I'm housebound, but my relationship with Jesus is so strong I go out on my mobility scooter with my little dog and I look for people who I can talk to and share Jesus with, when we say the Prayer inviting Jesus into their hearts, I give them books etc, and point them to a local evangelistic church. We share Communion and Worship with people in our garden, our Faith is so strong. God is so good. Revival. Amen 🙏

Wonderful and useful ministry to elderly folk. Praying that God will continue to bless your work Alex. An Inspiration for us all.

It never ceases to amaze me that a dear Christian lady in her 90s hosts our small group with beautiful home made cakes, assists at our Church with the Wednesday hub reaching out to the down and outs in our city centre, and still an active volunteer with our hospital Chaplaincy team. What a wonderful Christian still with a big heart for the Lord and our local community. 😎💙🙏🇬🇧👍

I stumbled upon this interview and watched all of it. Alex summarized the challenges and untapped potential of senior citizens very clearly. I am 82 myself, a retired scientist, a church member, a blogger and a freelance writer and speaker. As Alex rightly said, the resources of senior citizens lie within themselves. Would like to know more about Faith in Later Life and whether you have any connections in India where I live.
