 "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!"
That Bible verse was once again illuminated for me this past week. While I typically enjoy my personal space on a flight, God had other plans. I sat next to a "Cowboy Preacher" on my flight home from Missouri. He began to share with me how he tells the salvation message to children through his Cowboy Carnival and VBS he puts on in the lower 48 states during the summers. He asked while I was in Missouri if I had gone to Branson, to which I said "yes." He stated, "you would be hard-pressed to find someone who isn't a Christian in that town." He continued on to say when he traveled to California the Harvest was Plenty. He recently had been to Northern CA, and at one of his stops, over 600 people gathered in the park, and when he finished with his message of Salvation, 110 people raised their hands. It reminded me that we live in an area where there is a desperate need for our children: we may be the only Jesus they see! This year, we have a fantastic program for our Lake County kids, set in the desert, where kids will learn how a Reality TV Star will survive in the wild. Kids will know that God loves us no matter what, God is everywhere, God is in charge, God is stronger than anything, and God is Surprising!! Praise God we have 28 volunteers! But we still need 60 more! Please take a moment today to pray, is God calling you to help? E-mail or text me today to volunteer or to ask questions-- E-mail: children@gracechurchkelseyville.org Text: 707-272-1126 The harvest is plenty, and I'd love for you to join us to bless our county's kids! -Melissa Chapman Comments are closed.
