"This is Dwight Robertson. I just finished a speaking event in Los Angeles area. It was a Vision conference for global missions affiliated with back to Jerusalem, which is a a movement that is about the 1040 window and many many unreached people between China and Jerusalem. They call it back to Jerusalem because the gospel eventually reached China and they want to send missionaries back to Jerusalem! Pastor Peter Xu, the founder of the Chinese House Church movement, who himself is fielding and raising up 100,000 missionaries out of the house church across that region and I of course got to speak on Laborership and the need for every Christian to become an everyday everywhere advancing the kingdom of God kingdom laborer. It was a powerful time of the Holy Spirit's presence in the room. I watched the room suddenly become sober and silent. I watch people lean upward and inward, actually leaning forward in their chairs. I watched a level of emotion permeate the room and and I suspected what I got to witness toward the end as there were many many Asians. In fact, I was being translated into Vietnamese. There were many Vietnamese people in the room. I was being translated into Chinese not only for people who were there, but for people across China in the House Church movement there. And I was so thrilled to talk with and pray with people all night long and and there have been one young man who had led worship appeared to be a Chinese young man and I felt like the Holy Spirit burdened me and I thought how am I going to get to these clear on the far side of the room and suddenly about 10:00 p.m. Before I left the building in front of me. Was that young man? And he said the Lord told me to come and ask you to pray over me. I have a heart for the world and and I want to introduce to my girlfriend and we both want God to use us got to pray with him. So moving there were so many God moments over the weekend with an African leader who has churches that he's planted in eight or nine African nations an Asian family that chase me down as I was getting off my flight back in Denver afterwards. I got to pray with that huddle of a father a mother and a son who's they named Elliot after Jim Elliott that he might be a missionary to unreached people. Thank you for the You're praying God is working!"

Since 1986, Forge has been passionately pursuing Jesus' mission to raise up more Kingdom Laborers - people who love God, love others, and advance the Kingdom everyday, everywhere.
Ordinary Kingdom Laborers… You may never know their names or faces. Most have never had professional seminary training, fancy titles, or powerful positions. But, they are writing history. They are seeing, stopping, and spending time with people that no one else ever has, bringing the message of Jesus up-close. The Forge Laborership movement is multiplying above ground, and even underground - not only in the U.S., but in places like Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa!
While Jesus said, “the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few,” we believe His prayer request for more laborers is being answered as hundreds of thousands of people are embracing the call to impact the world around them… the Laborers are increasing!
