LUMOCK. TEXAS
The Sunset School of Preaching has an-
nounced a new ministry to mobilize retirees
for missions. It is called Senior Adventures
in Missions (SENIOR AIM).
SENIOR AIM is designed to train po-
tential missionaries from the ranks of retired
Christians and help them find a suitable loca-
tion in the United States or in foreign coun-
tries to work in hands-on missions. The
School is offering free tui-
tion special training in a
four- to six-month course.
Although Sunset School
of Preaching will not pro-
vide any financial as-
sistance or sponsorship for
any participant other than
the free tuition, the school
staff will work with par-
ticipants to help ensure that
this will be a positive spir-
itual adventure for them-
selves as well as for the
Christians they help.
SENIOR AIM is de-
signed especially for re-
tirees who want spiritual
adventure; who will be
able to spend enough time in a locale to be-
come part of the congregation; and who ve
