Are you
- a "third-ager"?
- thinking about the contribution you could make to God's Kingdom in your pre or post-retirement years?
- looking for a new direction in which your life and faith, experience and potential can be released into God's service today?
Workers like you are needed in Asia and the Arab world. There are opportunities for people from all walks of life and experience. You life and experience means that you may be well equipped to serve, with gifts, skills and maturity that could contribute much to the growth of God’s kingdom in Asia or the Arab World. What is more, you age and experience can be the gateways to opportunities and acceptance that may be denied to others. We want to encourage Christians, whatever their profession may be or may have been, to discover how you could offer these skills to God in new ways.

Testimonies
"As a woman in my sixties I was treated as an honorary man. In the bazaar in Peshawar (a conservative area) men twice came up to me to say they were pleased to see foreigners. At the festival of Eid-ul-Azha a mullah-type asked for a debate with me on our respective faiths! Neither of these incidents would have happened to a younger woman. Being a woman in itself opens doors into the world behind the curtain."

"When my wife and I were planning to move overseas to work after our children graduated the most helpful thing we heard was at a student mission recruitment conference. The speaker commented that we have mostly chosen our professions, and we can now choose where to practise them. In other words, rather than planning to be a "missionary" it is legitimate to pursue your professional calling, but look for a place to do that where you can have impact as a Christian. For some that will be in their own country or community but for others there is tremendous opportunity and value for the kingdom in working overseas. A place of work in itself does not make you a missionary - that is a calling or a consciousness that you can have wherever you are."
