"Then he 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." -- Matthew 9:37-38

After 2000+ years of the lessons of Jesus and stories of God, you'd think we'd have this faith thing down by now.  And yet, there's still hate and destruction, and masses of wandering lonely people in this world.  While it's common to think that stories of the ages should be known by all, and that each generation should be a bit wiser than the one before-- it's not really working out that way.  Humans, it seems, like to learn things the hard way.  For whatever reason, we cannot listen to our forefathers and learn from their mistakes.  So each generation that is born needs to be taught and needs to learn what it means to be a child of God and a follower of Christ.  The story is brand new again.  Couple that with the explosive population growth in the world today, and we have more people to reach now than in all of the history of creation.  The work begins with sharing a bit of Good News-- and one incredible story. Learn the Story. Know the Story. Live the Story. Tell the Story.  In that order.
