How do we balance our missions endeavors between harvesting very responsive fields and the cultivating of unresponsive fields (looking to that day when they will become responsive)?
We should always avoid unduly favoring those fields generating the best stories or whose missionaries give the best and most exciting presentations. In Thailand for instance, there may not be an explosion of growth in church planting success compared to Latin America or Africa. There may not be a need for a feeding ministry for children. These scenarios are just two of many that could fall into the “best stories” categories. We must understand that unreached places are unreached because they have not generally been the most convenient and easiest places to reach. This should not keep us from plowing, sowing, and reaping in these fields, even though the harvest may be smaller or harder to gather.
