And he said to them, "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."  Luke 10:2 (ESV) “Captain Allen Gardiner, on the inhospitable coast of South America, where he slowly perished with hunger, in the hope of attracting the notice of some passing vessel, wrote on the cliff in large letters "DELAY NOT, WE ARE STARVING." Years after, the words were seen; but it was too late, the bleached bones of the brave hero of the cross strewed the beach.” (J. C. Fullerton.) Jesus saw the harvest was waiting, yet the laborers were few. We are instructed to pray for the supply of labor. If we are honest in our prayers, we will pray that God supplies the laborers and offer to be one ourselves. Often, we pray for the harvest, thinking that somehow it will be harvested and put in the barn without our effort, sweat, and sacrifice. We organize meetings, assign jobs to the most gifted, and talk about the urgency of taking in the harvest. Yet we still lack harvesters. The modern church has become more about organizational meetings than harvesting. Owners are many; workers are few.
