Time for Harvest
This is harvest season in Cambodia. Harvesting rice in Cambodia is very labor intensive. No machines, just men and women (and children) with scythes.

Spiritual harvesting is like that in some ways. It is labor intensive. Up close and personal is the best approach. Large meetings are not as effective as stories shared in small groups. The foreigner preaching is not as effective as a neighbor living his or her life in Christ and sharing the hope that is in him.

Though the work is back-breaking the results are satisfying in the end of the day. If the harvest has been plentiful or even just "enough" the whole family can rest secure for the next year. The food is there, and maybe even some extra for those other necessities of life.

The results of spiritual harvesting can be satisfying as well. God is glorified and the laborers have the pleasure of knowing that He has used them. What a privilege!

The harvest among the Kuy in Cambodia continues. Pray for fortitude, wisdom and grace for the workers. Pray also that God would raise up  more laborers from among the Cambodian believers and the Kuy themselves. Pray that "ordinary" Christ-followers will tell the story naturally in their excitement; that every believer could be a harvester.

Ask the Lord of the harvest to raise up workers for the Kuy people in Thailand and in Laos. Pray that Thai Kuy believers would catch a vision for sharing the Good News with their neighbors. Ask. We can know He will answer for he has told us to ask.

"Then he said to his disciples, "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 9:37-38
