Heartbroken for the crowds Jesus was filled with compassion and 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.” Matthew 9:37-38
Jesus knew the need. There was a vast harvest of people ready to hear and receive the message of eternal life. Jesus knew the problem. There were not enough people willing to give there life to harvesting. Jesus knew the solution. Men and women to respond to the call.
If you are here that might mean you are an answer to prayer. We have been praying that God would raise up workers to go into the harvest field. Our audacious goal is to equip and train pastors to plant churches. We are currently selecting applicants to be the first class of Life Bridge University. We will train you in theology, preaching and leadership.
