Our Christmas Present To You!
For 6 years the Finishers website has been a
wealth of help and information for all of us looking to
connect with a new ministry role. Thousands of mid-life
adults have used the resources and filled out the
profile portion, seeking a good fit for their
future.
Introducing our NEW
WEBSITE!
On
December 15 a new, upgraded site, using the "community
feel" more helpful in today's web-world, will roll
out...our Christmas gift to all of us looking to make a
difference with how we invest our lives! Check us
out, at the same website address, www.finishers.org on the 15th. While much
of what we have planned will be up and running on that
date, we will gradually be adding many more features and
tools designed to be of significant help to all on this
journey.

Amass
Experiences, not
Possessions
According to an article in the November 25, 2008
issue of Iconoculture,
Boomers are shifting their focus from amassing
"possessions" to amassing "experiences."
Quoting John A. Quelch from Harvard Business Publishing,
10/15/08, we now have a new moniker to apply to a
portion of the multi-faceted Boomers, that being "The
Simplifier." A Simplifier downsizes because of a desire
to do so, not because they have to. They look at all
their stuff and are becoming embarrassed instead of
proud.
But
in place of the 'stuff' these Simplifiers still want to
gather something of value...just not 'things.' One of
the new desires is to amass experiences, for instance,
foreign travel. Groups that offer a quality experience
combined with social responsibility will be sought out,
according to Iconoculture."
With
that in mind, listen to this testimony from a couple who
found their "quality experience" through
Finishers:
"We
never dreamed God could find a place to use ALL our
talents and then give us even more...as usual we were
afraid to ask so big! We just said yesterday, this isn't
like work, (we both had jobs for well over 30 years),
this is like a four year
vacation!"
These
comments from another couple "having the time of their
life" are indicative of the great desire among so many
Boomers to make a difference in the latter years of
life. We want to impact our world in a significant
way. That's why Finishers exists...to connect
people with significant ministry roles that make a
difference now...and for eternity as we touch
lives!

MissionConneXion
Mark your calendar and be sure
that you make plans to attend the MissionConneXion event in Portland on
January 16 & 17. This is an annual event for people
of all ages who are passionate about advancing the work
of God's Kingdom. Scores of valuable workshops,
energy-filled plenary sessions and personally enriching
encounters can help connect you with kingdom-stretching
opportunities worldwide!
Finishers
will be there holding several workshops and will be
available to answer your questions about this journey to
significance. Look for us at the Finishers display area
and in our workshops.
In
conjunction with this event, Finishers is taking the
opportunity to have a board meeting on the 15th and also
a Partners Meeting on the morning of the 16th. These
Partners meetings are a special get-acquainted, training
and informational time for the mission agencies who
partner with us. Finishers wants to make the most of
every opportunity, so plans are also being made for our
Director of Church Partnerships to host a luncheon for
missions pastors and church missions team leaders.
