Harvesters Are Needed For The Harvest

We had a beautiful time in Asumani village last

Friday, and the Lord brought many souls into the kingdom. Both children and adults joined in playing jump rope and kicking around the soccer ball. We ministered in drama (about being trapped by sin and being set free by the Lord). Our ministry team introduced new songs as we worshipped the Lord and sought His presence. Over the past months, many people have been saved in Asumani, and we are interested in seeing how the Lord will bring in this harvest (of young souls) to be a people of His presence. The Lord has revealed to our ministry here that the first harvest is only the firstfruits (“a harvest of harvesters”), and out of that first harvest we will have the task of raising up a people that will then go forth into the fields to bring in a greater harvest. The harvest is coming! We are preparing our church and other believers for what the Lord is going to do.

The city is another big harvest field. I’ve been challenged by the people that come and ask for food, both children and adults. It’s one thing to spot out the hungry and make a decision to feed them, and it’s another thing when they spot you out and ask you to feed them. Tito, a man who obviously had too much to drink that morning (and who smoked) called me over and asked for food. I believed he was hungry so I bought him food. He then told his friend, “These people go to the church, too”. It turned out that Tito went to a Catholic church and truly believed in Jesus Christ. Tito wants to be used by Jesus in great ways, but at that moment he wasn’t ready to let go of his alcohol. While Victor and I were ministering to him, another man who also had too much to drink stopped to listen to us preach about Jesus. That man made a decision to surrender his life to the Lord! He also asked Jesus to deliver him from smoking and drinking. All this occurred right in front of the counter of the bread shop. We then sincerely apologized to the store owner if we had interrupted or disturbed his business in any way. He actually seemed to enjoy the fact that we were ministering to people, and wasn’t bothered in any way.

Join with us as we pray that the Lord will send more harvesters into the city, especially people to work with Victor and I. The Lord is raising up people in Lichinga in preparation for the greater harvest. Thank you for joining us and responding to His call!
