The Lord's harvest

Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest." Matthew 9:37-38

Four years ago the Lord told us, the Boyce’s, to till the ground and sow His seed. As the years have passed, the body of Christ and the Holy Spirit have watered the seedlings, then maturing plants. In many tilled and sown fields, the Lord has faithfully sent out “workers” into His harvest. The harvesters are from different denominations and non-denominations – the true body of Christ!

With the Garner homeless mission, 20 months ago a church came for the great harvest. Now there are four churches tending the lambs, discipling them, bringing them into closer fellowship with Jesus and just loving then in ways that only Jesus can love them.
In Cary, six months ago a church came along to harvest the Lord’s precious fruit. Now they are discipling them and again bringing the unconditional love of Jesus there.

The prayer request today is for four “ripe” Cary and Apex missions. Today, August 16th, a Cary church is hosting “Fiesta Day”. Brothers and sisters in Christ from several churches (the Body of Christ) will be there to bring in the harvest for Jesus. Pray that the Lord’s harvest is bountiful!
The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life, so the sower and reaper can rejoice together. For in this case the saying is true: 'One sows and another reaps. ' I sent you to reap what you didn't labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from their labor." John 4:36-38
Thank You Jesus! We are truly blessed to rejoice together!
