35Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness. 36Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38"Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."Charles Lee from New Hope South Bay challenged NOC to embrace humanity in four ways. First, in an embrace of presence that involves really “being there.” Secondly, in an embrace of sight where we see the story that GOD is telling in every person’s life. Thirdly, in an embrace of compassion that contains real action versus superficial concern. And lastly, in an embrace of work that ultimately requires sacrifice. By embracing the individuals that GOD places in front of us in Fullerton, we can represent Him as The God of This City.
