FAST -Day 4

Day 4 Laborers for the harvest
Read Matthew 9:37; Luke 10:1-21; John 4:34-38

“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.” Matthew 9:38

Isaiah described Jesus as a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief but Luke 10:21 is one of the times Jesus was filled by the Holy Spirit with great joy! It was a result of seeing His kingdom established in the hearts of people. He was so excited about them experiencing what He planned for them from the beginning: forgiveness, health, freedom from demonic oppression and life abundant. It so affected Him that He wanted everyone to have that kind of liberty. There was just one problem: not enough workers for the harvest. So He told His disciples to ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers.

As Vapor grows and plants centers around the world, they will need workers. When Christian goes to Togoville, Togo, he will have to train and disciple a team who will then train and disciple coaches to reach the children in that area. Brett and Trisha Ralston will have to go through the same process in Ngong, Kenya. Let us pray together that God will hand pick and send the men and women He has chosen to share in this work.

Prayer: Father thank you that the harvest is ripe. Thank you for the joy that comes in laboring in that harvest with You. Please send the people you have chosen to work with Vapor. Please remove the obstacles to them coming and grant them the diligence to complete the work you created them to do. Give Christian, the Ralston’s and the leadership of the American Vapor team the wisdom and discernment they need as they recruit people into Your work. We ask that You please pour out your Holy Spirit and may the result be a joy to Your heart. Favor them with the governments and people in the areas they go. In Jesus’ name, amen.
