Name

“Mending the Nets” comes from:

1. Matthew 4:18-21 where the disciples were mending their nets. They were preparing to harvest fish. Jesus said He would make them fishers of men!

2. Ephesians 4:12 says “for the equipping (mending together) of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ,”
