them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask
the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into

by Jesus was to have them ask for people who will work.

That is why Jesus calls everyone who believes in him to be a

they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they
will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
(Mark 16:17-18).
