It was just like a week ago that I came forth to serve fulltime. But it was not so.It was back in 1977. I was in my 20s. But now I am in my early 60s.
As a reflection: I could only say, we must fill in the gap where God made us fitted in. We will be there as long as we are needed. Sooner or later we must be replaced.
Today as I look around us, I have only one question to ask: where are our young people? Who will continue our work? How was our equipping and discipling ministry? Instead, I can see many elderly leaders are still struggling to lead the local churches. Is it effective? Is the congregation growing?
We like it or not, it is time to let go. Let go while we are still able to provide the counsel and while we are still around to guide the new leaders.
Thank God for those passing years of ministry and for the many many of you who have been my prayer supporters and in fellowship with me.
