White Unto Harvest: The Foreign Evangelism Page
Welcome to our section on foreign evangelism! This page joins the ranks of a number of other, similar websites, magazine news sections, and bulletins dedicated to awakening and informing brethren about efforts to spread the Gospel in other countries. The work of reporting these efforts is akin to the efforts themselves. If such works are to be done, those involved in carrying them out must be known and supported. Further, more men are always needed to preach in foreign fields and one proven way of finding them is via the spreading of news of the happenings and opportunities in such places.
“White unto harvest,” our chosen title for this section, is one with modern applications about which more brethren need to learn. Jesus once said, “Lift up you eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest” (John. 4:35). His meaning in saying this is clear when we compare his words in Matthew 9: “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd. Then said he unto his disciples, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth laborers into his harvest” (vs. 36-38). Jesus was speaking of the unconverted masses in his day and such masses exist in our day as well. In the New Testament, laboring in the Lord’s harvest involved the masses in the first Christians’ home country and in “the uttermost parts of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
