“The Lord now chose seventy-two other disciples and sent them ahead in pairs to all the towns and places he planned to visit. These were His instructions to them: ‘The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.’” Luke 10:1-2

• Even if you are just one person who has decided to go into a Care Facility, you can make a difference. The dedication of one person can change the world. It is the commitment you make.
• Jesus sent His disciples out in teams of two and also ministered to the one. He was to the one person that they needed, as He was with the woman at the well in John chapter four.
Connections happen one on one. This may look different with each resident you visit. Whoever is right in front of us is the one God brings—the one God causes you to make eye contact with. When we look into the residents’ eyes they feel respected, valued, noticed, and heard. When we look at them with this kind of respect, talk with them, and hear their heart, God brings a connection that we cannot manufacture.

“You know the saying, ‘Four months between planting and harvest.’ But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest. The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike! You know the saying, ‘One plants and another harvests.’ And it’s true. I sent you to harvest where you didn’t plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest.” John 4:35-38
