4. (36) And he that reapeth receiveth wages, & 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.”

5. (38) I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.”

When the local church is growing the missions will grow! They go hand in hand!
