This is a summary of my conversation today with Robert McElfatrick. He is very interested in mission work.. He has a son-in-law who is involved with an orphanage in Brazil. Robert, himself, has done overseas medical mission work in the past. Even if he is no longer able to participate directly in mission work, he is willing to sponsor, mentor or otherwise be supportive. He has a heart for families and is interested in mentoring in life skills, such as parenting, budgeting, communication, etc within and outside the congregation. He thinks the older generations have wisdom to share with the younger generations. He likes the idea of helping on a one to one basis someone in the community who needs someone to walk alongside them as they work to improve their economic status.

Thanks Bev, for letting everyone know about your conversation with Robert. I wholeheartedly agree with him -- there is so much latent wisdom in our congregation that if we can find a way to tap into it, how much more 'engaged' our members would be. When we talk about what gifts God has given to us to use to impact His kingdom, I can't help but think of our members who have their life experiences to share AND how God has been by their side always.
