1. More people are needed to serve the kingdom!
He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Luke 10:2
2. God calls us to work justice.
Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.
Isaiah 1:17
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself
from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
James 2:17
Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-- when you see the naked, to
clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly
appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
Isaiah 58:6
