"And He was saying to them, 'the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the Harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.'" (Luke 10:2)

We had the opportunity recently to attend a friend's church out of town, and they were praying for and sending out a team of women to Haiti for a mission trip. Another friend of mine is a pastor of a church, where they are serving currently in Nicaragua on a mission trip. Our church has a team currently in Ethiopia right now - sharing the love of Jesus and the hope of the gospel on the other side of the world. As we continue following the Lord 'out into His harvest field, there are two ongoing desires of mine. First, He is the Lord of the harvest, and it is His harvest field. As we follow His lead in every step of being sent out, we aim to have others see Him high and lifted up as Lord in any fruit that results. We are responders to the call, but He is the One calling, and the One they will see. Second, we need to keep asking Him to send out laborers. God's plan for revealing His great Name and inviting people to respond to the good news involves men and women of His choosing. We are His vessels! It is staggering to think of how local the disciples were reaching with the hope of Jesus as they were sent out in this section of Luke's gospel. But, many years later, teams of disciples are being sent out to every corner of the world! And yet there are many who have never even heard the Name of Jesus before. The need is great! We should be asking in deed. May God be glorified in all the earth!
We are so blessed with our wonderful children! Isaiah has been doing great, and the kids have been adjusting very well to having a new baby in the home. Thank you for all who continue to pray for us! This season of life certainly comes with great challenges, but it is humbling to remember where it all begins - in a great place of need and complete dependency.
