Very often we wait for others to do the job. It can be lack of education, lack of knowledge, lack of experience lack of confidence. Especially when it come to ministry. We wait for pastors, deacons, priests or other church leaders to get the ball, and we often think this is the way it should be done. When it comes to leading others to Christ, to be a witness, to help and serve, to teach, Jesus was very clear that he was not searching for educated people, no CEOs, no doctors, priests, or managers, he was clearly looking for "workers" Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he 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
