About this ebook

Everyone thinks that once they retire they can do as they please, and enjoy the good life. This booklet has much to say about retirement and how it should be used, and viewed, especially by the people of God. The best chances for mission, and service to Christ are available for retired people. This book is a call of God to those people to take up their cross.

It is also a call to younger people to change the way they view their older years. They are encouraged to see their "retirement is in Heaven." They are encouraged to plan their lives accordingly to live for Him now, and plan for later so Christ has a long life of service and so they properly use the talents given to them.

From the young age of 19 David pastored his own church in the once gold rich Mt Morgan, Australia. For 14 years David experienced the up and down life of a rural minister in a small town with high unemployment and the ebb and flow of life.Back when Google was new, David discovered Adwords as a method to promote non profit ideas and started using Google Ads to share the gospel with people linking them to resources and information on his websites. This was a novel idea at the time, the ads were cheap with no competition. In a space of 2 years David introduced 3000 people to Christ and shared the gospel with over 40,000 people in about 20 languages from over 100 countries. Many people joined churches as a result.In addition, David has built a number of ministry websites has written a number of articles and short books promoting evangelism and mission. David is currently Personal Assistant to John Alley and youth pastor at Peace Australia. In addition to preaching weekly at youth services, David leads teams of young people to various places to share the gospel and to grow ministry gifts in them.David has travelled to a number of nations including Haiti, India, Sri-Lanka, the Philippines, and has also lived in Papua New Guinea for 5 years as a child with missionary parents.David is a drupal developer in addition to his work with youth and mission and has a number of blogs of a variety of subjects at www.davidalley.com.au

    Conclusion

    Introduction:

    If every church in Australia or the USA was able to afford to send missionaries all around the world. And if those churches had a plan and targeted various places in the world, and if they worked actively towards getting the gospel there, and prayed actively in the same way. The world would be a different place in just a short time. It sounds wonderful, but too idealistic.
