Our 13th summer of training and mobilizing is officially in the books. All of our summer teams have returned home after some amazing times overseas making Him famous. This summer we placed teams in 7 overseas locations along with our first ever stateside team that served in Denver.
Even though all our teams have returned home, God’s Ancient Work continues on all over the planet. We get to stay involved in that work through our prayers.
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:37-38
God is the Lord of the harvest. He is in control of every single facet of the harvest: plowing, sowing, reaping, vintaging. And he allows us to be involved as workers in the field.
As Lord of the harvest, God says to us that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. His harvest schedule is right on time, but our task on this side of the work is to continue to pray that more workers will enter into the fields. With that in mind, here are a few Frontline Friday prayer bullets.
Pray for the workers that are in the fields. iGo partners with career M’s in every location. Pray that Father will grant them favor as they follow up with all the contacts our teams made this summer and continue the work.
Pray for the next group of workers to enter the fields. As our summer overseas ends so does our main “recruiting” season. Pray for students to follow through in obedience by applying to go next summer and continue to work. Talk to your friends and encourage them to go.
Pray about how God might want to use you as the answer to the prayer from Matthew 9. Maybe you need to apply to be a JSI. Maybe you need to check out our Xtreme Journey opportunities. There are plenty of ways for you to continue to engage the harvest among unreached peoples.
The harvest is plentiful. Let’s make sure the workers are too.
Make Him Famous.
