Whilst we are doing this series on Kingdom Living – God and Work we also recognise some of us are approaching or have retired and life looks very different to how it looked before. We want to connect you with a wider community of believers who have retired, people from various walks of life across the country via AfterWorkNet. All of us who are retired want to seize the years ahead with both hands. Making full use of our time, energy, health, wisdom, skills and experience.
The word retirement is not even in the Bible. What is taught in scripture is transition. There is nothing that says you work most of your life and then get to be selfish for the next 20 years – Rick Warren, PurposeDrivenLife
This is an initiative of CARE (Christian Action Research & Education). It is a part of CARE’s commitment to make a Christian difference. This interactive community of God-centred people is for those with full-time work behind them and years of opportunity ahead.
Through this website, our Facebook group and blog, we make life better for each other – starting conversations, inspiring ideas, faith and faithfulness, and sharing the best insights,
This is what they say about their purpose in setting up the initiative;
AfterWorkNet’s mission – why we exist
To help actively retired Christians live life to the full, to help them explore areas of service and to understand what discipleship means in this phase of their lives.
AfterWorkNet’s vision – what we long to see
To see a self-resourcing community of actively retired Christians who are maximising the opportunities of their life after work.
AfterWorkNet’s people – those helping to make it happen
Under the oversight of CARE and with the support of its staff team, AfterWorkNet has a management group of retired and active people and a network of blog writers seeking to inspire their unique generation and to help them navigate retirement.Afterworknet.com
