Dear Pastors, Churches, Friends and Family:

Greetings in Jesus’ Name! I trust you all had a Happy Thanksgiving and that Christmas and the year end will be a blessed one for you all. Adelante.

In the preceding verse (35) Jesus had been busy in the cities and villages preaching and teaching. Jesus Christ saw the multitudes and wanted His disciples to know that His plan included them. The answer to the Lord’s request and their prayers was they themselves – the Pray-ers; this same request is also given to Christians today. Jesus had one recorded prayer request in the Bible. Imagine that – our Savior asking for prayer! He said pray that the Lord would send more laborers. As they prayed for more laborers, He sent them.
