The Harvest Is Great... (May 14, 2013)


Jesus called and sent His disciples out on a circuit of villages to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He instructed them not to take anything for the journey; no travelers bag, food, money, or even a change of clothes. He also told them that wherever they go they should stay in the same house until they leave town, and eat and drink whatever they are provided. (See Luke 9:1-6 and Luke 10:1-7)

God also, just like these disciples, called my wife and I to live this kind of missionary lifestyle of going from city to city, house to house, for almost seven years. Unfortunately, we and other believers, who also had the same missionary calling, encountered much criticism from especially Christians, who thought that this type of lifestyle cannot be from God, and they would say things like; you need a stabile home. Some even called people like us vagabonds. But Jesus said in Luke 10:2 NLT: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few.”

I believe the time has come, as never before, for missionary workers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to be send out to preach the Kingdom of God, cast out demons, and heal the sick!

Kudos to God's missionaries who are working in the field right now!
