The harvest is plentiful enough but the laborers are few. There are hardly any workers in comparison to the size of the task. A whole world to be evangelized, people from every tribe and tongue and nation to be given the gospel and taught Jesus’ commands, and not enough missionaries and evangelists, not enough preachers and teachers, to do the job.

There should be enough, because every follower of Jesus should be a missionary (that is, one who is sent by him into the world) and every follower of Jesus should be an evangelist (that is, a witness to the Good News). But many Christians don’t seem to care about the harvest, or even about Jesus himself. Some have lost heart. They have concluded that Christian missions were for an earlier age. Others remain silent from fear of causing offense, or of being ridiculed or called names. Consequently the harvest goes unreaped, and great masses of people continue to live, in the Paul’s words, “without hope and without God in the world”.

“remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

So preach peace! Share the Good News!!

Celebrate the Lord of the Harvest!!
