Ministries around the U.S. and the world are reporting increased openness to Jesus. And the Navigators are on the front lines &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/ministry\/navigators-collegiate\/?sf_ac=w07\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">equipping students<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/ministry\/navigators-military\/\">military<\/a>, and people in every walk of life as disciplemakers .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we hear Jesus\u2019 vision for making disciples, it is important to consider the context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, \u201cThe harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.<\/em> <\/p>\n<cite>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/111\/mat.9.36-38\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matthew 9:36-38 NIV<\/a>)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>These words were spoken during a time of upheaval. Israel was under the unjust rule of an occupying Roman army, which caused many to assume Jesus would rise to political power. However, His revolution was not a political one, but a spiritual one. His words, <em>\u201cCome follow me and I\u2019ll make you fishers of men;\u201d<\/em> or <em>\u201cGo and make disciples\u201d<\/em> were rooted in an urgency to reach those without hope at a tumultuous time in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We, too, are living in a moment of uncertainty, but The Navigators are committed to bringing the same answer \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/life-to-life\/?sf_ac=w07\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Life-to-Life<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> discipleship, rooted in Jesus Christ \u2013 to the urgent needs of this world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Day after day, despite challenges, we hear of Navigator staff moving into the fertile soil of our pandemic shaken land, bringing more of Jesus through video-based ministry. Thousands of students have experienced virtual life-to-life discipling meetings. International students are coming to faith during this uncertain time. Thousands of people in Harlem, NYC were fed through our at-risk-youth program. We are seeing marriages brought back from the precipice, and First Responders bringing Jesus with them into harrowing circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <em>Lord of the Rings<\/em> trilogy, during a desperate time, Gandalf\u2019s speaks to a struggling Frodo &#8211; <em>\u201cI wish it need not have happened in my time,\u201d <\/em>said Frodo. <em>\u201cSo do I,\u201d said Gandalf, \u201cand so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Navigators are committed to what God has asked of us with the time that is given us \u2013 to raise up millions of people in every walk of life to meet the needs of today\u2019s harvest. We do this for the sake of Jesus and for those in need of a Savior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>For more from Doug Nuenke visit his blog at <a href=\"https:\/\/dougnuenke.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dougnuenke.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we hear Jesus\u2019 vision for making disciples, it is important to consider the context. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24075,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_helpful_pro_status":1,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[265,263,1,1227],"tags":[],"mission":[],"topic":[44],"class_list":["post-24065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-christian-living","category-community","category-disciplemaking","category-organization-news","topic-discipleship"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/nitin-bhosale-U98LIYBFVJk-unsplash.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"The Navigators","author_link":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/staff\/thenavigators\/"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24065"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24065\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":261310,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24065\/revisions\/261310"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24065"},{"taxonomy":"mission","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mission?post=24065"},{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.navigators.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=24065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
