As the bus made the journey along the roads through the farm land on its way to and from Zhengzhou I loved watching the fields of wheat as they passed, it was time for harvesting the early wheat and the laborers were out in the fields...
Some with tractors but most with hand tools cutting and binding the wheat, as we neared one of the villages this church suddenly popped up in the midst of the fields...then on all the streets surrounding the unit the villagers were out cutting away the stalks, beating the wheat and casting away the chaff. It reminded me of the summer weeks I spent in the farm villages in the Ukraine (Yes, that is where the first photo was taken). But even more than that- whenever I see fields of wheat ready for harvest I of course think of Luke 10:2-3...
"And He was saying to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 3 Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves."
