■ Focus of the week: ―To send out workers into his harvest field…‖ – ―Workers are the key to bringing in the harvest‖ ■ Prayer for today: Here I am Lord; send ME to the Harvest field! ■ Scripture for meditation:

a. Look at the harvest – John 4:35: It is our responsibility to gaze on the vast harvest yet untouched. Pray that

God will help you truly see lost and hurting people all around you.

b. Go into the harvest – John 17:18: Jesus sends us into the harvest fields of the world in the same manner in

which His Father sent him. Pray that God will give you a willingness to lovingly move out into the lost world

around you.

c. Bring in the harvest – Luke 10:2: The term ―harvest‖ implies an ingathering. Bringing people into God‘s

Kingdom is the ultimate goal. However, ministering to the needs of people is an important part of the salvation

message (Matt 9:35-37).


Pray using this verse from the Bible: ―But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.‖ Acts 1:8
