Multiply - Mission to the World

Here’s Our Challenge to You

“And he said to them, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest'” (Luke 10:2)

Would you commit to praying for more workers for the fields that are “white with harvest”? And as you pray, would you ask for the Lord’s guidance in challenging just one person to serve in missions?

If only missions-sending organizations challenge Christ-followers to go, our impact will be small. But think of the impact if many people were mobilizing for the kingdom. The multipliers will multiply and, if God wills, many more will serve in missions and proclaim the good news that Christ has redeemed us!
