It's amazing how quickly you can get 300 college men to change their plans on a moment's notice. It's late at night. We're all up in our rooms studying, sleeping, or goofing off. Yet, within a matter of minutes all 300 men are out of their rooms - out of the dorm. It is amazing what one fire bell can do, isn't it? There was no fire, just a fire drill. But the call summoned us out of our rooms and out into the night.

You can't read the book of Acts without marveling at the explosive impact of those first Christians. They rocked their city; they saw thousands come to Christ. They saw people come to Christ daily. They made such an impact, that it spread across the world and 20 centuries, and they had the same Savior we have; the same Holy Spirit living in them! So what happened?

Acts 4:31-33 says, "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the Word of God boldly. All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all."

It's time to look out the window and realize the enormity of reaching the lost and get out of our rooms, and join in urgent prayer together for the lost and Hutchcraft Ministries' aggressive plans to reach them. The Lord's sounding the alarm. If we hear His cry for harvest workers, we'll be out of our little room and pulling others out of theirs, to rescue the people who are dying just outside.
