went through all the towns and
villages, teaching in their synagogues,
proclaiming the good news of the
kingdom and healing every disease and
sickness.
Who we are called to reach
o Matthew 9:35-38
36 When
he saw the crowds, he had
compassion on them, because they were
harassed and helpless, like sheep without
a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his
disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the
workers are few. 38 Ask the Lord of the
harvest, therefore, to send out workers
into his harvest field.”

Who we are called to reach
 People are open
o John 4:35-38
35 “Don’t
you have a saying, ‘It’s still four
months until harvest’? I tell you, open
your eyes and look at the fields! They are
ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the one who
reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop
for eternal life, so that the sower and the
reaper may be glad together.
Who we are called to reach
 People are open
o John 4:35-38
37 Thus
the saying ‘One sows and another
reaps’ is true. 38 I sent you to reap what
you have not worked for. Others have
done the hard work, and you have
reaped the benefits of their labor.”

have done the hard work, and you have
reaped the benefits of their labor.”
Who we are called to be
 Called to be salt
o Matthew 5:13
13 “You
are the salt of the earth. But if the
salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made
salty again? It is no longer good for
anything, except to be thrown out and
trampled underfoot.
Who we are called to be
 Called to be light
o Matthew 5:14-16
14 “You
are the light of the world. A town
built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither
do people light a lamp and put it under a
bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and
it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In
the same way, let your light shine before
others, that they may see your good deeds
and glorify your Father in heaven.
