In the Kingdom of God, things don’t always work the way we expect. Jesus said if you want to be first, you need to be last. If you want to be great, you need to serve. And when it comes to the mission of God, Jesus told us something just as surprising: don’t pray for harvest. Pray for harvest workers. That sounds backwards, doesn’t it? But Jesus knew what we often forget—there’s already a harvest ready. What’s missing are the workers willing to step in. John Wesley turned the world upside down by releasing lay preachers and ordinary people into extraordinary ministry. He saw fruitfulness where the religious establishment only saw barriers. And today? I believe God is still calling us to perceive, prepare, and pass on the mantle to a new generation of Kingdom workers. In his latest article, Jorge Acevedo shares the six consistent cries from emerging leaders that, if we hear them well, can help us raise up the workers Jesus told us to pray for. The harvest is plentiful. The question is—will we be the ones to raise up the workers?
