"Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in
their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every
disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because
they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful,
but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of
the harvest, therefore, to send out workers in to his harvest field.” - Matthew 9:35-38
