“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” John 4:35
“Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:37, 38
The above verses are perhaps some of the most well-known in connection to missions. What is amazing is that Christ said this some 2,000 years ago. If the harvest was ready then, what about now? We also have had 2,000 years to develop and pray in new workers but where are they (Focusing on deaf missions, it is even worse.)
The need is just as great now as it was 2,000 years ago. What is different now is we are much closer to Christ's return then the first church was then. That reason alone should help us to make sure we are doing what He has commanded us to be doing.
Our job as a church (deaf or hearing) is to reach the world with the Gospel and then train them to reach others for Christ.
