Matthew 9:35-38, is often used when we are trying to encourage people to share the gospel, be involved in missions…

Jesus 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.”

But this passage is actually a command not to share the gospel, but to pray. To ASK God to do something.

Tina Keller, who is now OMF's international director for evangelisation, shares about the blessings of participating in prayer throughout her work in missions. She was formerly part of a church planting team and continues to work with local churches in Taiping, Taichung (Taiwan).
