We made it! We’ve been in the ME for about a week now. Father has been so good in all of our travels so far. Even the ones that took a little longer than expected. This past week we have been digging in the Word as a community with the team on the field. We have been learning about the work Father has called us to this summer and how our short team trip fits into the ongoing work of the workers who live here.

We have been going through a week of teaching called seasons where we see how J describes the work of the harvest. The work is described in 4 stages: plowing, sowing, reaping, and vintaging. We spend alot of time talking through plowing. Very simply, plowing is PR. We look at plowing as getting the soil ready for the seed of the Gspl. Those of you that know much about farming, you must plow the ground before you can sow seed. In the same way before you sow seeds of the Gspl you must plow.

So everyday on the field we plow a lot. We plow before we even try to sow. PR is the work. It’s not a stepping stone to the work-it is the work. That is a reminder I need daily. For the seed to be received well, the farmer must plow which may take time-a lot of time. And sometimes it may feel like we’re plowing concrete. But the farmer plows in hopes of the reaping of the harvest. And that is the hope we hold onto.

Join us in plowing the ground here in the ME. This is why it is so essential that our team is sent by the Body. The Body can walk alongside of us and plow too in hopes that one day the Boss of the harvest will reap abundantly. Father has been faithful as we PR walk around the community. We have been invited into a few homes and have made friendships already with some girls our age. Thank Father and continue to PR for us to make relationships with those who are interested in the Story.
