He said to them, “The harvest is bigger than you can imagine, but there are few workers. Therefore plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers for his harvest.” Luke 10:2
When it comes to
the harvest that Jesus describes, I’m often reminded of the enormity of our
task. Millions of people who don’t know Christ are just waiting to hear the
good news and are ripe for the gospel. But it takes many faithful workers for a
successful harvest.
This is why our
role with CruPress is so vital. We,
in a sense, are working in the tool shed: training and equipping thousands of
harvest workers with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to work the
fields. Here is a prime example:
Our
friend John Glasser leads First Priority,
a ministry in local high schools, and is using Cru training and resources to
reach many different contextualized student groups, including Somali girls,
Guatemalan boys, Muslim soccer players, and Nepali musicians. These are all unique “fields,” each
requiring different equipment, techniques, and timing for the harvest. It’s been a privilege to help John, his
staff, and volunteers effectively work in the fields by providing them with a
variety of evangelism tools and by training them how and when to use each tool. As a result, students that seemed far
from Christ are coming to know him in a personal, powerful way.
