Bringing in the Harvest

Our vision here at M3 Global is one shared by Christ-followers all around the world. It is articulated through a volunteer movement called No Place Left. The aim of this movement is to one day have no place left where Christ has not been made known. This is done by multiplying disciples, churches, and leaders within every people group, ethnicity, and societal segment until, just as Paul stated in Romans 15:23, “now there is no place left for me to work.”

This NPL vision is being caught and carried out by those who receive our trainings. For example, in our June newsletter, I shared I had recently returned from Ethiopia where we trained 15 church planters working in predominately Muslim areas. This month I can report to you that since receiving the training, these young missionaries have led 144 people to Christ and have baptized, or will soon baptize, 110 of these new believers. They also report that 102 of them have been attending a discipleship group. But here’s the really amazing part—129 of those who came to Christ were Muslim!

In the training that these young Ethiopian missionaries and others have received, we always take time to study Jesus’ teaching of the “kernel of wheat” found in John 12:24-25,


Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.”

Here Jesus is using the metaphor of the kernel falling to the ground and dying as a powerful illustration to explain the necessity of his upcoming death and resurrection. It signifies that just as a seed must die to produce a harvest, so too will His sacrifice lead to a multitude of people entering and living in His kingdom. And, as our Supreme Example, Jesus intends for those who follow Him to apply this principle to their own lives as well. Each of us must be willing to die to selfish desires and self-interests, and possibly even give up our very life, in order to bear spiritual fruit while experiencing abundant life in His kingdom.

I hope you will join me in thanking God for these laborers working so faithfully in the harvest. With every unreached place they go, they move His church a bit closer to fulfilling the Father’s vision of having No Place Left where the blessed name of Jesus has not been proclaimed. What a joy it will be when that time comes. Come Lord Jesus, come!

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” – Matthew 24:14
