Instead of spreading the nets for the normal fish in the sea they will cast their nets for the catch of men by saying the message to them later after Jesus` had taught them. Their fish harvest is the number of christians in the world today.

The very best way we can fish for men is to be a reflection of God`s love in the way we live and how we act toward others. Then, people will want to know how can they be so happy and peaceful and have so many blessings and we can teach them about God`s love for each of us.

The Calling of the First Disciples

Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men."
They immediately left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them. They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
