There is a lot to be said for the value of older Christians, that is, those over the age of 55.

They buy more books than anyone else and, generally speaking, have sorted out their lives and are ‘more together’ than their younger counterparts. They have battled temptations and been through the deep waters and, when tapped, are springs of faith and encouragement.

When the Ruth Cowell care home for elderly Christians closed down, it was not a story that would interest the national press.

There were no protests from residents or staff, only an acceptance of the need to close and an assurance that God would take care of them.
