Who Needs Help?

Mark Stephens

Ready: 

“He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” Matthew 9:37-38

Set:

She died in 1966 and never saw her prayers answered, but oh were they answered – probably beyond her wildest dreams. In the late ’70’s, I remember visiting my Grandma Ernestine Stephens’ church and having her friends come and tell me stories of her fervent prayers during the church prayer meetings. Literally and figuratively, she would cry out to God on her hands and knees, lying flat before the Lord. She prayed that God would use one of her four sons as harvest workers to be a missionary or pastor. Well after she died, one son (my dad) went on a mission trip to Kenya and served a mission organization. Two grandsons (me and my brother) became pastors. Four great granddaughters (my four daughters) all went on mission trips.

We never know when God is going to answer our prayer to send workers, but we know the key is prayer. As you serve your team, as a coach or athlete, pray with passion that the Lord would send more workers to come alongside you to reach your team for Christ. That needs to be plan A for you. Your time with this team is short and the Lord wants to use you.

Go:

1. If you had more workers to serve alongside you, what difference would it make?

2. Do you need to increase your vision for impacting your team? Describe the new vision.

3. How does God want to use you as His worker for your team?

Workout:

  • Matthew 14:23
  • Matthew 21:22
  • Mark 11:25

Overtime:

“Lord, I desire to serve You with ALL of my heart. Broaden my vision for impacting my team with eternal values. Show me who You want me to be praying for to impact our team. Thank You for allowing me to be on Your team. In Jesus name, Amen.”
