“Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.”
Psalm 2:8
“Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.”
—John 4:35
Harvest the Nations is a multi-faceted, multi-national ministry patterned after the New Testament ministry of Paul, who poured out his life in service to the Church, in the hope that he might present her “as a pure and spotless bride to one husband, that is, Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 11:2)
We humbly desire to steward this vision, to see Jesus inherit the nations, and to equip the saints to carry out the ministry of Jesus in their local communities.
We employ a three-pronged strategy to fulfill this mission: evangelizing the lost, equipping local Church leadership, and empowering Christians living in impoverished or otherwise vulnerable communities.
Evangelizing the Lost: Ministering the Gospel of Jesus
At Harvest the Nations, we believe evangelism involves both the proclamation of the Gospel and its confirmation through the laying on of hands and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We take the commissioning of the apostles in Mark 6:7-13 and Luke 10:1-12 as a pattern and believe the saints have been given authority to not only preach the Kingdom of Heaven but also to heal the sick and deliver those oppressed by evil spirits.
We carry an earnest expectation that God will confirm His word with signs and wonders, because “the Kingdom does not consist in words, but in power.” (1 Corinthians 4:20)
Empowering Leaders: Discipleship & Church Planting
At Harvest the Nations, we rejoice that God has equipped the Body of Christ with the five-fold ministers, giving some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers (Ephesians 4:11). Rather than attempting to build on another man’s foundation (Romans 15:20), it is our aim to support these local servants as they carry out the ministry of Jesus in their own neighborhoods.
Harvest the Nations maintains relationships with local ministers in order to stay informed of the specific needs of those communities and to offer support that may otherwise be unavailable in their region. We seek to facilitate unity in the Church by encouraging cooperation among local ministries and by inviting the global Body of Christ to partner with us in meeting their needs where appropriate.
Enriching Communities: Improving the lives of poor and vulnerable Christians
It is imperative that we who live in relative safety are not ignorant of the difficulties faced by our brothers and sisters abroad. If we belong to the Body, we cannot neglect the needs of the Body. Rather, we should eagerly desire opportunities to alleviate the suffering of others by “giving out of [our] abundance, so that there may be equality.” (2 Corinthians 8:14)
Our friends and global ministry partners alert us to the unique issues faced by their communities, especially in regions vulnerable to poverty and instability, so that we can support them in prayer and connect them with the greater resources of the global body of Christ as needed.
