The Harvest!

Greetings friends, children of God and fellow harvesters,
You and I are living in the greatest moment and season in the history of the earth. The greatest days of harvest and ingathering of souls is at hand. We as the family of God must recognize the day and hour that we are living and not fail to seize the moment and be all who God prepared for us to be and do all that he has for prepared for us to do!
It says of Jesus in Matt 9:35, "But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered like sheep having no shepherd.". Jesus was moved with compassion or love for those who did not know Him; those who were lost and dying without him. He saw their weariness and weakness and wanted gather them unto himself. Just after He saw the lost and scattered multitude, with His heart full of compassion, He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.".
You can help that prayer that came from the very heart to the savior come true. You can help us and send us as harvesters into His harvest. He is not a ashamed to be called the Lord of the harvest. Let us join together in Him and become "laborers in His harvest". You may say, I don't have a heart to win the lost; well we can ask the Lord for His heart for the harvest! Ask him with me, "Lord give us your compassion for the lost, the hurting, the sick, the oppressed and the hopeless. Help us to find it within us to to whatever it takes to reach them with the power of your love. Thank you Lord, Amen!"
In February 2010 we will be headed to the impoverished nation of Honduras to hold our first Mass Soul Winning Crusade. We expect to see 20,000 to 30,000 in attendance each night. We are excited as the anticipation on the ground there is building. There is a buzz of excitement that is filling the air in Dos Caminos and the surrounding communities. We have been so amazed at the favor from the pastors and leaders, with close to 100 pastors and churches that will be plowing the ground, praying and believing God for a Holy Ghost explosion of the Love of God!
We will be taking a team of 10-15 Americans that will work with our crusade team taking humanitarian aid to some of the poorest people on this side of the world. The average income in the area of Dos Caminos is less that $5 a day and people have to raise an entire family on this amount. We are trusting the Lord to take several tons of food into the poorest areas in Honduras.
As of right now we still need $21,000.00 to see this crusade take place and an additional $5000.00 to see all the humanitarian aid we need to distribute purchased.
We have begun to see some people catching the heart of God in the area of giving to the poor. Even with the "worlds economy" on a down turn, the people of God must move in an opposite spirit and "give in the time of famine". It is the Lord's gift to His children that we can sow in the time of famine and see a mighty harvest. No giving touches the heart of God like giving to the poor. With all the fear concerning the economy it is our duty to apply pressure and be bold in our giving and go after the harvest like never before. The enemy would like nothing better that to see the family of God shrink back and become self focused. We want to encourage you to stand with us and say "Not on our watch!". Sow a generous seed today and help us reach out to the poor and reap a glorious harvest for the Lord!
