When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepard. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” – Matthew 9:36-38 (NIV)
