This is Harvest Season--It's GO Time!

Local Pastor Irenado, missionary Tanner Linn, CMK missionaries Joel, Kright, and Jon Ross drilling the first well drilled with our CMK drilling rig in Paraguay

Dear CMK Family,

As we look around the earth right now, we can sense it and we are witnessing it:  the fields are ripe.  Just as Jesus told His disciples in John 4:35...

"Lift up your eyes and see that the fields are already white for harvest."

What we are witnessing is a global hunger for God.  What we have seen God do in Paraguay just this past week illustrates it beautifully!  Again we saw it in Honduras.  We are seeing it in America on a massive scale.  We are in a harvest season, both physically and spiritually.  This is the time to gather.  And the Lord is reminding us--it's not time to sit back.  It's go time.

The earth is groaning, people are searching, and hearts are open.  What will they hear?  Let's share the Gospel of Jesus and not get distracted by the thief of the harvest.  Harvest is about souls.  I read recently this quote, "consider the value of a soul:  both God and the devil are after it."  

Just as farmers rush to bring in the crop before it spoils, so must we move with urgency to share the Good News with the souls Christ died for.  We can't wait for "someday".  The harvest is now.


Paraguay:  A village once hostile to the Gospel is now inviting us in to share Jesus with them!

"We don't know what happened to make this village so hostile to hearing the Gospel,"  explained missionary Tanner Linn who we are partnering with in Paraguay.  Local pastor Irenado and his wife have prayed for years that God would help physically meet needs of their people so they could show them the love of Jesus and have an opportunity to share the Gospel with unreached villages.  God is using the wells to do just that!  The drilling rig arrived in Paraguay a few months ago and Joel, Jon Ross and Kright flew in to drill the first well with this rig.  The chief of the village came to watch the progress and expressed his amazement over the clean water.  Over the course of drilling, he was shown the love of Jesus and he has now invited Pastor Irenado and the Linn family to share the Gospel with his village!  More villages have now requested for our drilling rig to come.  And now THREE motorcycles are funded for reaching these very remote villages with the Gospel! God is making inroads into this unreached people group!  What He continues to do in Paraguay is incredible.  We love the Linn family and how available they are to God's plans and purposes.  We pray for more families to join them and for God's provision over their ministry.  The harvest is ripe in Paraguay.

Honduras:  Preaching the Gospel in a neighborhood terrorized by gangs

Jon Ross and Scout traveled to Honduras to help drill another well and check on some recently completed sites with Pastor Aiden.  While there they preached to a large crowd at an open air crusade.  This was a neighborhood with a lot of gangs.   Jon Ross and Scout both boldly shared their testimonies and the Word of God to a ripe harvest.  Scout later shared that he realized he didn't have to worry about getting every word right, the response to the altar call showed him the power of God and the hunger of the people.  Many people came forward for prayer.  He prayed with two young people to be saved.  We're so thankful for these young men willing to GO and share the Gospel!  We pray God continues to surround them with His provision and might.  The harvest is ripe In Honduras.


India:  A new well in what once was a leper colony

In India, God continues to steadily bring hope to the hopeless.  A young couple that we love contacted us about funding a well instead of remodeling their bathroom.  They gave for another well in India and this one happens to be in what once was a leper colony!  Pastor Joseph shared that the building we drilled the well by was once a hindu temple but is now being  made into a gathering place for Christians.  God is redeeming!  We met with Pastor Joseph here in the states a few days ago and he invited us to his daughter's wedding.  Astair and Story immediately started to pray for God to provide the funds for them to go to India to see the wedding as well as visit the orphanage and wells.  Within an hour, God provided for both their tickets through an amazing woman of God!  He is building their faith and we trust His leading.  The harvest is ripe in India.

Harvest Prayers:

  • Pray fervently for more laborers in the fields as well as for provision for missionary families.  (Matthew 9:37-38)

  • Pray for traveling mercies over Joel and I as we travel to Turkey and Iraq in a few days and for our girls and their aunt Sarah as they travel to India in November

  • Pray for more open doors for the Gospel to be shared and for souls to be saved

  • Pray for your local communities and pastors, for the harvest around you!

Thank you for partnering with us!  We love and pray for you!
