Harvest Time

During the past week, we have had the opportunity of a lifetime. We all four were involved in the F. G. Festival held in our city. Each day started around 4 pm and ended around 4 am. During the actual services, it was amazing to see HIStory freely proclaimed and nationals invited to publically come forward to accept the invitation to New Life. We could only do counseling in English, but we had opportunity to share with folks from the Philippines and Swaziland. Thousands of national siblings counseled in the native language.

Each evening after the services, we all four helped with follow-up. All decision cards had to be tallied, entered into a data base, sorted, assembled, labeled, and mailed. Several hundred nationals worked into the "wee hours" of the morning every night. Again, we could only help with the jobs that required no reading of the native language. So, mostly we helped with data entry for the English-speaking decisions, assembling, labeling, and mailing. All of that experience working on state convention newspapers really paid off.

Now, it is up to the local clubs to contact every person that made a decision, and get them invovled in obedience-based discipleship. This is a VERY CRUICAL part. Please remember the local clubs as they seek to take care of more than 13,000 new babes in Him. It was definitely Harvest Time on our little island. Please, ask for more workers to assist in the Follow-up Time.
