Dr. Garrett preached this message on a Sunday morning to one of his supporting churches some years ago, while stateside, due to Columbian unrest.
John 4:35-42 KJB: 35   Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36   And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37   And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38   I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
39   And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40   So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41   And many more believed because of his own word;
42   And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
