The greatest shortage in God’s work is not money, time, materials or equipment. It is workers. Working workers. Two thousand years ago Jesus said “The harvest is great but the workers are few.” (Luke 10:2). That is still true today.
Jesus told us to ask the Lord of the harvest to throw out workers into His harvest. Then, through His interaction with the 12 (Luke 9) and later the 70 (Luke 10) He modeled how to develop these workers. He gave them training, provided all the equipping they needed, activated them and sent them out into the harvest, and then for three years He provided on-going mentoring to help them become Christlike in their thinking, actions and ministry.
How would your congregations be better off if you had a clear plan to train, equip, activate and mentor your members in soul winning? In time would you see exponential, rather than numerical, growth? Would God send you more and more people because you were ready to help grow them? Would your members be better off at the end of next year spiritually than they are right now?

You can only wonder, why people come to these meetings. You look into their eyes, and see that the Holy Spirit has been working on their hearts. We can only present a message that the Lord has prepared for us to speak. It is not just the speaker who is speaking, but we speak through our smiles we speak through our caring eyes, and the message is carried home by God’s Grace.
I met a young woman named Samantha about eight months ago while I was working at Andy’s Market. She and I were employees working in the same department. She was raised as a nominal Christian and didn’t really know much about God. She often would express confusion as to what she should do with her life. She has since told me that my interactions with her and everyone around us in the workplace led her to become more open to receive the Gospel message. She saw that I had peace of deportment that she did not; I had a happy family—this spoke volumes to her.

Recently one of our northwest Seventh-day Adventist pastors went through a very difficult experience.

Last Monday evening I rang the doorbells of twenty of my closest neighbors.
The Bible says that there is a feast in heaven when a sinner repents. This year we will be celebrating a great feast from the 23rd -31st of October; a feast I like to refer to as a party for God. It’s a great celebration which will include music, prayers, gifts, exposure to God’s word but above all, we will witness the birth of hundreds of people who will give their lives to God. I invite you to begin to pray for 3 people who you wish to see in the kingdom of heaven. I ask that you not only pray, but also invite these people to study the Bible, to join a small group, and to participate in this special festival where you will see God working miracles through His word.
Last year several people in our congregation accepted the challenge put forth by the Folkenberg’s to reach out and “ShareHim”. There were about 10 of us who attended a ShareHim Rally in Walla Walla, WA. Later a young couple, Dan and Stacey Brown, went to the Boot Camp. When Dan shared that he wanted to be a part of preaching a series of meetings in our home church, I was thrilled.

He told me that he works at the state penitentiary and confessed that he had been questioning his ministry with the prisoners there. He said that he had been wondering if what he was doing had any point, and he sounded as though he had been discouraged in his profession, possibly seeking to do something else.
