Matthew 9: 35 – 10:4: Disciples for the Harvest Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 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.” He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

DORA, ATTENDING OUR CHURCH

DORA, LEADER (WITH Paul)

One missionary wrote I've just returned from an advance planning trip to Uzbekistan. It was quite an amazing trip. I was very impressed with the depth and commitment of the church leaders I met with. I was listening to 2 pastoral leaders describe how they had gone into a remote, undesirable location where God had called them to serve. It was an amazing story. They had gotten hold of a book about cell churches (in Russian) and had gone into this area to begin a cell church. They started with 5 people 5 years ago and have over 500 today - which is really significant given the culture and challenges they face in Uzbekistan. I asked them what book it was they had read - it was one of yours! When I told them that you had spoken at our Ukraine pastors conference - they begged me to ask you to come to Uzbekistan - so here I am asking. Can you come? We will work the conference out around dates that will work for you. I've just returned from an advance planning trip to Uzbekistan. It was quite an amazing trip.
