Thrusting out Harvesters

Behold, I say to your, lift up your eyes and look to the fields, for they are already white for harvest. John 4:35 Then he said to His disciples, “The Harvest is indeed plentiful but the laborers are few so pray to the Lord of the harvest that he will send out laborers into the harvest.” Matthew 9: 37-38 The Greek word translated as “send” here actually mesns “eject”, or “forcibly thrust out” The harvest is ready now. It cannot wait. But the laborers are few! Therefore, it is important that we all get involved. God wants his house full. Luke 14:16-24 is the story of the great supper. The servants were first sent out to invite guests, then sent again to bring them in, and finally he sent them again to compel them to come in. We are to pray that God will send more laborers. Sometimes God answers your prayers by sending YOU. I have recently been challenged to bring my soul winning up to a new level. Please be part of the end time harvest by praying, giving or going. For the Kingdom, Helen Laib, MD, President, Circle of Love

out medicine. On our way there, we got stuck in the mud about 6 times. Just as we were getting out of the mud, His Royal Highness the tribal king came along the same road. We got to meet him. He gave us his blessing and pronounced our plans successful. We returned safely to Lagos. We later found out the kidnappers had struck just 10 minutes from our

house while we were stuck in the road. On our return to Lagos, we had to wait another day while approval for our clinic was finalized. So we held clinic at our house. We had the opportunity to minister to the man who laid the foundation of the house, now crippled due to a motorcycle accident. He had unhealed fractures of his left arm and right hip, We prayed for him everyday and he also very passionately released bitterness, hurt and hatred over his condition. We decided to give him some monthly support for the next 15 months. Then we had our clinic. Another 1250 patients were served with another 400 salvations. We have an open door to return. again.

Famine in Laos Drought and Unemployment Lead to Food

Shortage in Laos

Drought for two years, plus lack of sufficient farmland have resulted in a shortage of rice for Laotian Christians. Lack of employment and educational opportunities compound the problem. Circle of Love Foundation sent funds to provide rice for the widows and most vulnerable families. This will be distributed through the church.

Our plans in Nigeria had to be changed because of violent kidnapping and holding for ransom in the states where we intended to hold our outreach. Money had been raised to build a school at an orphanage there. We were warned that white Americans would make an attractive kidnapping target. We waited on the Lord and were directed to cut our time to a minimum and not to tell anyone our plans. At the end of three days of prayer, nine people came to receive Jesus, including the Muslim mayor of the town. Not only did he receive Jesus but he also gave us the spiritual authority in the region! Our trip to the east went smoothly. God smoothed our way through 20 roadblocks so that we were not even questioned as to where we were going. The next day, we got up early to visit the orphans and widows. We blessed their graduating kindergarten class, preached salvation and healing to the town widows, dedicated the school and gave out medicine. Then we had to leave because of rain.
