    The fields are white unto harvest. Harvest stands in a 4,000 plus year tradition, yet Jesus took it to a higher plane - the call to reap a spiritual harvest. The three keys to this harvest are: The Seed, the Season and the Servants.

    A brief description of Hanukah, Judas Maccabeus, the hero, and how this relates to our hero and Lord Jesus.
