Hispanic Mission Minute - by Abby Dawkins
"O Senor, es mucha la labor y obreros faltan ya..." (O Lord, the work is
plentiful and the laborers few...) I sang this song many times with my
Peruvian brothers and sisters during my time in Peru. It became one o my
favorites. It is an earnest prayer to the Lord of the harvest to send
workers into the world because the harvest is plentiful, but the workers
few. Yesterday I sat in a meeting concerning Latino outreach through our MN
South congregations. What a blessing to join together to talk about what God
is doing around us and how we can be actively involved! It was evident to me
that God is moving among Spanish-speaking people and that he has given us
resources to share the Gospel with those around us. Pray that God
would provide workers for this Harvest of Latino people here in MN-South.
