Church Growth Program

A Harvest Project is a short term mission opportunity here in the United States of America and is a partnership between your church and a local church from another city or state, working together, to do personal evangelism, at a given time, in each church field. This partnership will challenge both churches to prepare their home church field first and foremost for the harvest and then enlist and equip a team that will go and help work the harvest of their partnering church.

Because there is a timeline between the partnering churches for the harvest project, there is a time when each church field will have to “step up to bat” and share their faith in Christ with their friends and family which has lasting and eternal effects. We call it getting back to the basics.

Typically your visiting Harvest Team will arrive on Wednesday and will start following the plan of making visits with the team from the host church on Thursday. They will work each day, making partnership visits and sharing their faith, Thursday through Sunday afternoon and return to their home church field on Monday. Some of the visiting Pastors are staying after the team returns home and preaching from Sunday through Wednesday of the following week. We have seen great results of the Gospel going out through both the visits and preaching efforts. Approximately one month later the church that received the Harvest Team first will now take a Harvest Team to their partnering church and following the same plan of sharing their faith with the friends and family of their partner church.

One of the most important questions is what will this cost our church? Grace Ministries International Fellowship will provide each church with material and hands on training for the project. We ask each church to pay a $200.00 registration fee at the training secession. This helps offset the cost of material and our travel for the training. We also ask each church to take a love offering after the project for Harvest Souls.

Please take time to talk with us about a Harvest Project for your church.

His Blessings,
