Each Day at 10:02 am/pm, we ask you to pray for God to call out workers for the harvest.  The work is hard and people are facing challenges of all kinds.  Please pray these words will be a reality in our time.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
– Psalms 1:1-2 (NASB)
