The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few
35 And Jesus went throughout all the
cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of
the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed
and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples,
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
Many times, this week our team has
discussed the overwhelming lostness here in Mocimboa. Yesterday afternoon our
team walked through the fish market. We were a sight to see for sure. Seven
white guys all together, we stuck out like a sore thumb. As we walked through
the crowds I could not help, but think about the overwhelming need for
co-laborers here.
The Lord is doing something special
through the Smith's and Shelton's. They have counted the cost and found
Christ worthy to serve here in Mocimboa. I would ask that you pray earnestly for
them, but maybe after reading about our time this week the Lord has called you
to be sent out. I know that our prayer would be that all of us see people
the way Christ sees them, with compassion for their spiritual condition. This
compassion should then compel us to Gospel centered action and mission.
