Seed Sowers

Thankful to be here and be part of this ministry…

??? My story of why I am here… my dog and his v….:)

followed by Logos software brings up Malachi 2:1-3

Malachi 2:1–3 CSB

“Therefore, this decree is for you … If you don’t listen, and if you don’t take it to heart to honor my name,” says the Lord ……. “I will send a curse among you, ………………………………………. “Look, I am going to rebuke you and your descendants, and I will spread animal waste over your faces, the waste from your festival sacrifices, and you will be taken away with it.

One commentary that came up in parallel said this was the equivalent of your dog vomiting in your face

So i am kinda motivated…

True story… but also I have to say i believe this to be one of the most unique ministry opportunities i have ever seen or been around

I took the liberty of doing a little AI work this weekend… and double checked by visiting some websites

We have 3 key components..

Share the Gospel -

1,170 times the Gospel of John was read, questions answered and you all spoke with these people about the Gospel …

600-700 hours.. if avg 30 min…

New stats from WHO … 1.78/sec are dying… most going to Hell… most Conservative Christian groups believe 95% dying don’t have true professing Christian faith.. 1.7/sec..

Make Disciples…

we now have 30+ Digital Missionaries…I am one and i can say NW is making a Disciple of me.. so if all you too then we are in fact making disciples…

btw… step 1 of discipleship is becoming a believer

If you get another person to join NW as DM you are in fact then “making Disciples”

“What you have done unto the least of these, you have done for me”

Approx $46,000 Paid to freelancers…

Average wage in Afghanistan less than 1,000 USD/yr, Pakistan 1,500/yr, great portions of Africa and India between 1,200 and 1,800/yr… I took the median of the majority of our calls and it ended up being $0.72/HR… …

US… lowest per hour is $7.50.. highest is DC $17.5.. take a median of $12.5. Compare this to $0.72 and you get a 17.33 multiplier… all that meaning we have paid and equivalent to USD of over $800,000

The model is so awesome in so many ways but one is we are really helping people… plus we are helping them “learn to fish” not just giving fish..

So we are doing all 3 things Christ commanded us all to do..

A couple of passages that i trust will encourage you all….

A little more on sharing the Gospel…. 1.78/second… dying…. and we are PLANTING seeds..

Mark 4:26–32 NASB95

And He was saying, “The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know. “The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head. But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

One commentary… a very good translation pictures the gospel working in lives. After the Gospel is presented, The Word of God works in the individual heart, sometimes slowly, until the time when God reaps the harvest in that individual and saves him/her..

Mark continues…..

Mark 4:26–32 NASB95

And He said, “How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it? “It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil, yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that the birds of the air can nest under its shade.”

BTW… the emphasis on the size of the plants and branches seems to be related to the sphere of salvation which benefits all those around including non believers..

Romans 10:13–15 NASB95

for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? (someone who proclaims the gospel) ? How will they Proclaim the gospel unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!” Is 52:7

The gospel message always precedes true saving faith.. the revealed Word of God.. John is some of the best in this… Salvation comes to those who hear and believe !!!!

One of our primary responsibilities in NW is use those “beautiful feet” to sow seeds and trust God to convert them and that they will then act as mustard seeds… Trust God to make the seeds sprout, grow and impact all those around…

I believe when we get to heaven we will be introduced to many, many, many souls that are there due to the mustard seeds we are sowing…

So go and sow, pray a small influence becomes a worldwide scope
