abundant



    "the harvest is PLENTIFUL 
               but the workers are few..."  Luke 10:2

plentiful: existing in or yielding great quantities; abundant

yep. we experienced this plentiful harvest last month when the team from norman community came to visit.  they came for a just one short week.  they hit the ground running full force into the harvest fields of the wetlands, the poorest part of masi that is often neglected by workers.  and the harvest abounded.  the Lord was SO gracious.  as we went out in small teams everyday the Lord led us to hungry people. people starving to know hope and love and purpose and healing and provision and freedom.  and we had all that and more to give.  we gave them Jesus.  so many received him with joy!  many were healed.  even more got jobs.  hearts were touched and lives were changed.  all in one short week!  even now the new local believers who went around with the team as translators are following up with the people who responded to Jesus during that week.  i got to go with a girl i have been discipling to meet with a house full of women the team met who all gave their lives to begin following Jesus.  they have met the Living God and are laying down everything to receive him.  it is powerful to sit with a room full of women who are eating up as fast as they can the word of God, the Bread that satisfies.  they have been touched by the Lover of their souls and are beginning the sweet journey of following in his ways.  Glorious.

what  JOY to be a part of this harvest.  it is plentiful everywhere.  not just in africa.  are you running into the harvest fields?

the harvest is ready and waiting, so...GO!  

its always worth it.  because the Lamb is SO worthy.
