International City-Wide Outreaches
Proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the World!

City-Wide Outreach:
In remote cities or villages (after months of prayer and preparation), typical week-long evangelistic outreaches include:

• Nightly evangelistic preaching in city stadiums or parks;
• Special Music (featuring local Christian choirs);
• Altar Calls for salvation, deliverance and healing;
• Daily training seminars for national pastors and Christians;
• Showing the JESUS movie in a local language (when possible).
  

  
  

Evangelistic Preaching:
Each night, following music ministry by local choirs, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached with power. One unique aspect of every Harvest Ministry outreach is that the main preaching is always co-shared with a national minister. Usually, Jon Dunagan preaches, along with a national evangelist, such as Drake Kanaabo from Uganda. We have found this to be very effective in sharing the Gospel cross-culturally. After the preaching, there is usually prayer for the sick and for those who need deliverance, and altar calls for those who want to surrender their lives to the Lord.

Teaching & Training:
Christian teaching seminars for pastors, believers (and sometimes for women, children, and youth) are often held during the daytime of an outreach to encourage and train the local believers. These are usually taught by visiting international ministers.

The JESUS Film
The JESUS Film is a powerful tool for ministry, currently available in 995 languages!! Usually, at the conclusion of each evening meeting, we show a section of this movie. Many times, this story of Jesus' life -- taken from the Gospel of Luke -- is so moving to the local people that they wail loudly during the crucifixion scene...and scream for joy at the resurrection! -- Click here for current information about the JESUS Film!!

"But, what about follow-up?"
Preserving the Harvest

Obviously, following Jesus Christ is more than a momentary "decision"...it is a whole new life of following God's ways! (But just as every physical life must begin with a moment of BIRTH, so also every spiritual life must begin with a moment of "NEW BIRTH!!") Harvest Ministry is specifically called to evangelism. After an outreach, local ministers help follow-up on these new believers. When possible, we pass out Bibles, and usually water baptism services are held by local pastors. As a direct result of this ministry follow-up, over 400 indiginous churches have been planted in remote areas.

Notes of Testimony:
Some good friends of ours (Pastor Bob & Carol Higgins of "PATH Ministries"), came with us to teach the seminars on one of the outreaches...and were so moved by the need for follow-up, they actually DID SOMETHING about it!! In 1999, the Higgins became missionaries to Uganda, especially to start Bible schools to train national pastors. Their ministry (which is not affiliated with Harvest Ministry -- except through LOVE and friendship) has already founded many of these Bible Schools, which have been -- and ARE-- a great blessing to hundreds Christian ministers throughout East Africa!

Our former pastor, Nels Church, also came with us on his first mission outreach to The Philippines. Nels and his wife, Lorrie, were so moved by the need there, they became missionaries to the Philippines through "REAP International" (going with their seven children, a friend in a wheelchair, and Nels's elderly mother!) REAP INTERNATIONAL (which is also not affiliated with HARVEST MINISTRY -- except through love and friendship) has now established a excellent Bible training school on the island of Catanduanes in The Philippines.

The purpose of Harvest Ministry is to help fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to "Go into all the world to preach the Gospel." Harvest Ministry is passionate about winning souls, and is committed to going wherever the harvest is most ripe, and wherever the Lord directs... Primarily, this is accomplished through International Gospel Outreaches (especially in East Africa and other third-world countries), National Evangelism Team Support (N.E.T.S.), our Osanidde Village Orphanage Ministry and encouraging other Christians to become actively involved in world evangelism.
