WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF N.E.T.S.?
"N.E.T.S." which stands for "National Evangelism Team Support" is a mission outreach of Harvest Ministry. This partnership is a means whereby qualified national evangelists from around the world can be sponsored by individuals in the U.S.A. to help reach the lost in unreached areas with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This support includes:
Providing financial support and sponsorship;
Supplying ministry equipment and vehicles;
Encouragement through prayer, training & correspondence.



THE NEED
Throughout the world, literally hundreds of millions of people have never heard the message of Jesus Christ. The task of world evangelism is so great, it can never be accomplished by foreign missionaries alone. Today, there is a tremedous need for nationals to rise up with boldness and power to reach their own people and surrounding areas with the Gospel.


THE VISION
Ugandan N.E.T.S. minister, Naboth, with some of the national pastors he oversees.Because of the cultural and language barriers, a national (or native) can often reach cities and villages that an outsider could never touch. Many times, however, the national evangelist does not have the support (in prayer, spiritual encouragement, ministry equipment, and finances) to make this outreach possible.

At the same time, there are American Christians who are searching for the best way to use their finances for the kindgom of God. Many of these people have a heart for the unreached people of the world, yet they themselves may never be able to go to remote villages and preach in a way that would be culturally effective. The "N.E.T.S." Ministry is an outreach that brings these two groups of people together to help fulfill the Great Commission.

COMMUNICATION
Each month, N.E.T.S. ministers complete an OUTREACH REPORT, which shares exciting ministry results, praise reports and specific requests for prayer. Throughout the year, these are then sent to their individual sponsors. In addition, the N.E.T.S. sponsors are able to personally correspond with the national minister they support.

MINISTRY RESULTS
Since the founding of this N.E.T.S. Outreach in 1991, Harvest Ministry has supported fifteen different national ministers in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, the Ukraine, India, Central African Republic, and Congo. Over the years, these men of God -- along with their wives and ministry teams -- have seen many thousands of people saved, water baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit! They have pioneered over 400 indigenous churches in unreached areas, and have organized many minister's conferences and outreaches.

HARVEST MINISTRY'S N.E.T.S. RETREAT CENTER
These pictures are from Harvest Ministry's retreat center on Bussi Island, Uganda, in Lake Victoria. For years, this has been a center for prayer and retreat for the N.E.T.S. ministers, and other pastors, and as of January, 2006 it is the home of Harvest Ministry's new orphanage, "OSANIDDE VILLAGE!" center is located on over 40 acres of peaceful beachfront property. To get there, we just get on a homemade wooden canoe and head about 45 minutes into open lake water! From this island base, Harvest Ministry has planted four remote island churches. (See our "Outreach to the Islands" newsletter and "Helping the Poor" for more information!)


N.E.T.S. SPONSORSHIP
A vital link in the N.E.T.S. ministry are the N.E.T.S. sponsors who faithfully support, encourage and pray for their specific N.E.T.S. minister. For those of you who are sponsors, "THANK YOU!!" We appreciate your part in this ministry! And if you are interested in supporting a national minister (for any monthly amount) please contact Harvest Ministry...and we will let you know more about it!
