Our Mission
As we are being led by the Holy Spirit, The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few” appears in Matthew 9:37. Jesus tells his disciples to pray for more laborers to help with the harvest. Jesus is referring to the need for more people to share the gospel with those who are not yet believers. The shortage of laborers indicates that there is an urgent need for more ministers to spread the gospel. The call to “send out workers” implies a proactive and intentional effort to train, recruit and deploy individuals for ministry. This reflects the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands His followers to go and make disciples. The need for workers is a recurring theme in the New Testament. For example, Romans 10:14-15 discusses the necessity of preachers for people to hear and believe the Gospel.
