Harvest Fields: Sowing Your Faith, Reaping God'S Joy

Harvest Fields: Sowing Your Faith, Reaping God's Joy . . . Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest (John 4:33). Then He (Jesus) said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest" (Matthew 9:37-38). The harvest is ready and waiting for us. What does this mean? The harvest refers to people who are ready to receive the Lord. Jesus wants us to share our faith with others but most of us find that sharing the gospel is not easy. It is scary, nerve-wracking, and we just don't know how to do it well. The thought of reaching out beyond our church walls is intimidating. But it doesn't have to be that way. Harvest Fields is designed to equip you to share your faith more comfortably with others. Would you like to learn how to recognize those divine appointments in everyday conversations, as you go about life? This easy-to-read book is filled with practical ideas to help you share your faith in your own words and your own style. Sometimes, we have made evangelism more complex than it needs to be. Let's proclaim the gospel in simple, natural ways. As we learn to hear God's voice, we can follow His leading and become more effective in telling others about Jesus. Several of my friends and I reveal true stories of our experiences to inspire and encourage you. You'll be able to learn from the things we did well and from the mistakes we made. These true stories will serve as a springboard for ideas to make it easier for you to reach out to others. Would you like to know how to witness to co-workers, neighbors, family or friends? Or speak to residents in nursing homes, prisons, or to strangers? Twenty-five types of outreach are highlighted in this book. I provide valuable reference material that you will want to revisit often. Perfect for small group usage, this book is an important tool to equip you and your friends. At the end of each chapter, you will find several discussion questions that will stir up conversations in small group settings. You'll learn from one another. Together, you will grow in confidence to reach out with the Good News in our lost and hurting world. Are you ready? The harvest is ready and waiting for you!
