141: A Mission Trip You Can Take From Home
FEATURING: Mike Henry, Sr.
MINISTRY: Follower of One
What if retirement wasn’t about slowing down, but stepping into something more purposeful?
In this episode of iRetire4Him, Jim and Martha Brangenberg sit down with Mike Henry, the founder of Follower of One. Now in his 60s, Mike shares how God stirred his heart not to retire from something, but to lean into a new mission: helping everyday Christians live their faith right where they are—whether that’s at work, at home, or even in line at the coffee shop.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Now what?”—this conversation is full of encouragement and practical next steps.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why retirement is a chance to choose how you serve, not just stop working.
- What the Follower of One community is all about, and how it equips believers to live out their faith.
- How “Marketplace Mission Trips” work, and why you don’t need a suitcase or passport to take one – or even a marketplace!
- Why your life experience matters more than ever—and how to share it with others who need it.
- How simple daily choices, like being present and available, can become powerful acts of ministry.
How You Can Get Involved:
- Join a Marketplace Mission Trip
Experience a weeklong “trip” that teaches you how to see your daily life as your mission field. No travel required—just a willingness to be intentional where you already are.
- Join the Online Community
Meet others who are choosing to live their faith with purpose—retirees, working professionals, students, and everyone in between.
- Lead a Small Group at Your Church
Use Follower of One’s six-week discussion guide to start a faith-at-work group. It's simple to lead and a great way to pour into other generations.
- Support the Ministry Financially
Follower of One is donor-supported. Your contributions help equip more believers to live on mission every day.
- Bring the Mission Trip Experience to Your Church
Help your church expand its impact by offering a Marketplace Mission Trip alongside traditional mission opportunities. Follower of One makes it easy to implement and customize your church’s needs.
Why It’s Worth Your Time:
Retirement doesn’t mean your influence stops. In fact, it may just be the beginning of your most impactful season yet. You’ve got wisdom, experience, and time—three powerful tools for Kingdom work. Whether you’re 55 or 85, Follower of One offers a simple, practical way to keep making a difference.
