Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.     ~Luke 10:2~

The Apostle Paul writing to the Philippian Christians wrote these words: "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ... And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, and that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ."  (Philippians 1:3-6, 9, 10)

How wonderful it is to be able to address God's people with such words; I can say with Paul these very things.  It seems as if God has saved the best till last for this Pastor.  In my years of service there has never been an equal to Pine Grove church.  Only God knows the love that is in my heart for you and what great joy there is each time we meet.

Now I pray with Paul that the love and grace that is your lives at this time will continue until our Lord returns.
