Grey Beards and Silver Hair

So what does a 40 something grey beard motorcycle riding father of five ex bible college student, thinks that he can achieve by going on a missions trip with a bunch of Silver haired older ladies?

In my earlier days following God was normal to me and my family, we learnt when the call was of God and when it wasn't. The children saw and experienced God in action, in circumstances many adults refuse to believe. Somewhere I lost the plot and got burnt out and disillusioned with the whole "church" scene. God was still cool and nothing can shake the love that God has for me, even when I take another detour along the way.

I have had the call on my life for this trip for 35 years but have not been able to go until now. Now I am not sure that I can be of much use, physically I am stronger (I think) than the Silver haired team members. Spiritually I am in a weak condition after years of being cynical and trying to ignore the call on my life. Well its straight into the thick of things from day one.

Its sink or swim time
