Summary: Show Notes Host: Jim Hughes, Christian Life Coach Most churches and nonprofits offer retirees volunteer tasks -- but most often they are menial tasks. Such volunteer roles do not meet the need of retirees for gaining a sense of accomplishment and the satisfaction from working with others on something that matters. Suggestions for church leaders: Develop a list of significant ministries that need leadership and manpower. Be ready to help retirees get started and to help them recruit others to work with. Suggestions for retirees: Be prepared to invent your own ministry. Dream big. Plan and build it like you would with a small business. Be prepared to recruit others to work with you. Expect little physical support from the church staff -- they probably don't have it to offer.
