Today we read Matthew 9. Towards the end of the chapter, Jesus states that the “harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” This means that there are so many people around the world who need to hear about Jesus, but there are not enough pastors–then and now. This is particularly true today in countries where Christianity is forbidden. Let us pray that the Lord would raise up many more future pastors around the world, especially in those oppressed countries, so the people can hear the Good News about Jesus and be baptized and join new churches!
