‘The harvest is plentiful …’ (Luke 10:2).

When Jesus talks about the harvest, he is talking about people who are open to the good news of the kingdom of God. Jesus is saying that there are more people open to hearing the good news than there are people who are willing to share it.

‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few. So pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest fields.’

The season is changing. Harvest time is coming, even for the LCA/NZ.

The Department for New and Renewing Churches is embarking on a plan to plant over 200 new Lutheran churches across Australia and New Zealand in the coming 10 years.

Over six weeks, 20 October to 24 November, we are inviting you to pray for God to raise up and send out harvest workers into his fields here in Australia and New Zealand.

The harvest has already started. New churches have been planted, and we are seeing Sending Churches preparing to plant more. Most exciting of all, we are seeing new people come to faith in Christ.

Will you join us in prayer and fasting in this Season of Prayer?

You will find worship and promotional resources on the websites listed below.

Will you join in the joy of the angels as lost ones return to their God, and as God brings in the plentiful harvest in our countries?

‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few. So pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest fields.’
