The Harvest Truly Is Great
Forty years ago, the passage from Luke 10 that sits underneath The Harvester logo formed the beginnings of this publication. In sending seventy disciples out, Jesus told them,
...The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. (Luke 10:2)
It has been approximately 2,000 years since this directive along with Jesus' great commission to teach and baptize in all nations (Mat. 28:18-20). Among countless other efforts in these centuries since, The Harvester has been just one small attempt to sow and harvest.
The Harvester has always been part of my life, because it was there before I was born. Forty years ago and with a near-newborn (my sister) in the house, Ray McManus used a type writer to meticulously create the first issue of his attempt to labor in this field through a paper periodical. A couple of years later, I came along. For the majority of my childhood, I saw many things with my dad and this big box of papers that sat in the house once a month without fully understanding or appreciating them. That's what The Harvester was to me for many years: A big box of papers. Hundreds of papers would be folded by hand. Carefully printed address labels were attached, one-by-one. Colorful stickers sorted stacks of 50 papers at a time. Technology made some things easier. I remember an automatic paper folder, but it didn't fold up to Ray's standards. Also, it was loud. Personal computers certainly made writing and formatting the content easier. Still, changes in how this box of papers was created, prepared, and sent out were inevitable.
