Episode 191 - Praying for the Harvest

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.In 1792, churches in England united together and formed the Particular Baptist Society with the stated purpose of “Propagating the Gospel among the Heathen” and appointed Carey and John Thomas to go to India as their first missionaries. In a tearful prayer service as they prepared to leave, those who remained behind promised to pray. Andrew Fuller later described their parting with the analogy of miners going deep underground secured by those on the surface holding fast to strong ropes. Fuller said, “Before [Carey] went, we engaged that while he lived we should never let go the rope.”There are many good and necessary things that are part of reaching the lost, but the thing Jesus said should come first is our prayers. We need to be more faithful than ever to pray that God will provide the workers to bring in the harvest.
