Review
Take ten minutes to review how you got on with all of the actions you have commited to so far. Think about the following questions:
Read
Jesus sent out the twelve apostles with these instructions: “Don’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans, but only to the people of Israel—God's lost sheep”
Matthew 10: 5-6 (NLT)
Reflect
As we saw in Study 5, Jesus' instruction to pray for harvest workers is immediately followed by his instruction to his disciples to go. He is very specific about who they are to go to, but it is worth noting that his instructions vary depending on context (compare with Luke 9: 2, Luke 10: 1, Matthew 28:19 and Acts 1: 8)
In Study 3 the disciples went with Jesus and saw what he was doing. Now he sends them on ahead of him to do the same
