White fields, ready harvest

God is moving—and Elim Missions Academy is here to equip those ready to go.

Just the other day I was driving up the motorway and as I looked to my left, I saw a field of wheat. It was golden and reflected the sun as the wind danced over the stalks. A couple of verses came to mind from the Gospels of Matthew and John: “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few” and “the fields are white onto harvest!”

Wheat doesn’t grow up white or golden, its tender shoots push through the ground in vibrant green, the stalks grow tall and green and it is only as the wheat is ready for harvesting does it become that white, golden colour that we often see on cereal boxes!

Jesus’ words weren’t an observation but a declaration, people are ready to receive the Gospel, people are ready, their ears are open... who will go and preach!

Recently I was at a meeting in London where around 1,500 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. You may have heard about the ‘Quiet Revival’ which is happening across our nation

In Isaiah 43:18-19 it says:
Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.

God is on the move, His Spirit is stirring up men and women, young and old around the globe, not just this nation!

Who will go?

Excitingly, Elim Missions is relaunching the MISSIONS ACADEMY. The Missions Academy is for those interested in Mission, for those who want to go but aren’t sure, need some direction, guidance, teaching and equipping. God is doing a new thing in the nations; it really is time to prepare and get ready!

The Missions Academy starts in September and has been set up to bring a wealth of experience from past and present missionaries, experienced pastors and practitioners, packed in a way that you can complete the Academy alongside a career, studies or commitments that you might already have!
