Vrydag Fokus: Hoop vir ouer mense

Statistieke toon dat 'n derde van ouer mense nie binne 'n week met 'n ander persoon praat nie, en die helfte noem TV as hul hoofmaatskappy. Eensaamheid en isolasie is die oorsaak van vernietigende fisiese en geestelike gesondheidsprobleme. Hoe kan ons as die Kerk doelbewus hierdie behoefte aanspreek deur eensaamheid en isolasie by ouer mense aan te pak?

  • Pray: Almighty God, we thank you for the older generation of our country, and think particularly of those who are lonely and isolated. We ask for your comfort and companionship to envelop them, through both the presence of your Holy Spirit and the mobilisation of your Church. Give us the wisdom and opportunities to display your love to them in practical ways. (Philippians 2:3-4) Tim Lucas, Saltbox Christian Centre
