What is a Labourer? – By Laurence Torr

Jesus said to his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;  Pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.    (Matthew 9:35-38KLV)

Jesus encouraged his disciples to pray to the Lord of the harvest which is God, to send forth (throw out) the labourers into the harvest. the harvest is those that need to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth and the labourers are those that preach the gospel and do the work that God gives them to do.  What are some of traits of a labourer how do we know if God has sent us a labourer?  are we a labourer?
