Fellow Harvestors,





I just recently returned from watching very poor farmers in Ethiopia glean the harvest field. My team and I were in Ethiopia with Indigenous Outreach International. There were so many sights and experiences there that stood out to me. The smiles of the children as they greeted our vehicle as it cut through the brush toward their village, and, of course, the harvesters. What amazed me the most was that all of the people in these rural areas around Addis Abeba, Ethiopia were distinctly involved in bringing in the harvest.

Little children, the elderly, disabled, fully-able, everyone!


It hit me like a ton of bricks that these poor farmers understood something that the Church in America needs to both understand and embrace - that everyone must get out into the harvest! The reason that the Church exists on earth is to glorify God by advancing His kingdom and His cause. This means going out of our way - even out of our own country - to win as many to His side as possible.



I appreciate the slogan that the great evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke has - "Live to empty hell and to populate heaven".


That is my slogan. That is why my family and I are embarking on a huge leap of faith to start EMI. We want to make the mission field available for people - some who might never be considered for such a great call.



I sure hope that in the coming months, you see how God needs you and how He wants to compel you to go to reap His harvest.
