Minnesota’s Second Half Ministry aims engage seniors in fellowship, ministry, as well as in prayer. We know that many seniors are lonely and in need of encouragement. Similarly, many do not have a relationship with Jesus, which gives us the unique opportunity to share Jesus, as well as train on how to let the Holy Spirit work as He desires.
About 2nd Half
Additionally, seniors possess the most valuable commodity of our day in abundance… time. They have time to serve, time to share, and time to minister. Seniors have a special opportunity to be prayer warriors, and to devote themselves to the things of God.
Our 2nd Half Leadership Team:
Director: Bruce Talso
Support and Leadership: Troy Fields, Larry & Bernice Hale, Marty & Cheryl Heller, Jan Hintz, DeeDee Lindelien, Jim & Mary Beth Olson, Dan Parotti, Esther Sigvertsen, and Yvonne Talso.
