When were you last fishing (Mathew 4:19)?

Jesus wants us to be fisher of men, but where do we do that and how do we do that?

Many of us Christians stand behind our good old faithful saying, "well we can't all be missionaries", so wink, wink we stay behind in the all important support role living our cushy lives. Missionaries need support don't ya know, like on a 1 million to one ratio:):).

We stay back saying there is fishing for men to be done at home, and we do fish for men, but half the time we forget our pole, some of the time we forget our bait and the rest of the time we forget to go to the fishing hole. Our lives in the support role are often self indulgent and rarely do we do any fishing. Sometimes we fish where the fish have already been fed to obesity levels like say at church. How often do we sacrifice our time to feed the fish that need food, to be out and about in the community and to feed the hurting and the people that have not been exposed to the gospel. Maybe I am just speaking for myself.

Whens the last time I witnessed, whens the last time you witnessed to someone?

Matthew 4:19 (http://www.biblegateway.com)
New International Version (NIV)
19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”
