On Mission with God!

Prayer Needs

He said to his disciples, "The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest, ask Him to send out more workers for His fields."  Matthew 9:37-38 (New Living Translation) 



Pray that the Lord of the Harvest will continue to send workers into the fields - that the called will obey!

We believe the workers are in the harvest ... pray for the harvest and the workers!

Praises!
