There is a phrase that is used in sports which says,” leave nothing on the field’, which is another way of saying give it all your strength and energy and emotion and have nothing left over when the game is over so you can say after the game, I left nothing on the field. When Jesus comes back, we need to be able to say, “I left nothing on the field” but I used all my strength and energy and resources to get the Gospel out to a hurting and dying world for a much greater cause than any sporting event.  It is because of this great cause that I travel this country to reach young people for Christ.  What greater cause could there be to minister to these young teenagers because they will be the future leaders of America and the world?

So far this year I have done FFA State conventions in Oregon, Tennessee, Nebraska, and South Dakota.  In all the many years I have been ministering to FFA students, I have never seen them as interested and hungry for the Gospel as now. So far, we have seen hundreds and hundreds of students pray with us to receive Christ. In Nebraska recently, a security officer said he had been watching the kids come to our booth and he said our booth was not only the best attended booth, but he was very amazed at how attentive these kids were to the Gospel message. There is hunger and a void in young people today and if we don’t reach them, then the devil will. Some of the kids will tell us how glad they are that we are there sharing the message and one girl said we made her day being at the convention sharing the Gospel. Another encouragement is that we have had a good number of kids come to our booth and tell us that they prayed with us to receive Christ into their lives in the years past and everyone of them is still following Christ, reading their Bibles, going to church and youth groups. Part of this I believe is because of the great resources, discipleship programs, New Testaments and teaching we give them when they come to our booth. 

One FFA girl from Minnesota came to our booth at the Sioux Falls farm show and said she wanted to make it a point to talk to us. We shared the Gospel with her at last year’s farm show in January and the following summer she prayed to receive Christ at a camp and is now on fire for Christ. So, we planted and watered the gospel seed, and then the harvest happened in the summer at a Christian camp.

We still have many more FFA state conventions to minister at this year so please be in prayer that this revival among young people will continue coast to coast.  I will close with these verses from Revelation 14:15 and 16,” And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest is reap. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.” This is God’s top priority for us, to thrust in our sickle so the earth will be reaped.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support so we can thrust in the sickle and reap this last day’s great harvest.

In Christ,

Jeff Goss
