10:02

PDF Version: Anderson_WEEKLY_160723

Have you ever been part of a team that is regularly short workers to get the job done? It can be daunting, even exhausting. Some people give up; others try to assume the responsibilities of more than one and wear themselves out quickly. Our Lord confronted this reality as He sent out the 12, and then 70, to share the Kingdom message. Like most missionaries, we certainly need more CHE trainers in Cote d'Ivoire. Instead of giving up or wringing hands, Jesus instructs His disciples clearly. Therefore saith he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few:  pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Luke 10:2

A movement of Christians around the world takes this command seriously, including the French DMM (Disciple Making Movement update links) trainers who recently taught in Cote d'Ivoire. Every day they set the alarms on their cell phones or watches for 10:02 (morning, night, or both), asking the Lord to send laborers into His harvest. Inherent in the prayer, of course, is the willingness to go ourselves, or to help others go. An under two-minute video from Oklahoma Baptist church planters provides one of many examples of people giving voice and action to Jesus' plea such as we propose to you. We need more workers. Go to this link: 10:2 Prayer.

Verlin was blessed to attend the FWB National Association this week, as Debbie
continued the slow but steady process of recovering from surgery at her parents in Nashville. Before returning to Cote d'Ivoire on Monday, July 25, he will have been able to spend time with Debbie and family, and work a day at our Cookeville homestead. Recently a fierce storm uprooted a huge tree, which thankfully missed our manufactured home by about 20 feet.

Prayer and Praise:

  • Join Christians worldwide at 10:02 (morning or night) praying for laborers in the Harvest.
  • Ask for safe travels, wisdom, and strength for Verlin, as he returns to Cote d'Ivoire, while Debbie stays for some weeks or months to facilitate healing in the States.
  • This week three Community Health Evangelism trainers travel to the western town of Man in Cote d'Ivoire to complete a training of trainers at a Bible Institute.
