DEDICATING OUR LIVES TO
THE GREAT COMMISSION
“…Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit, and teaching them to obey everything i have commanded you” ~Matthew 28:19-20
In obedience to the great commission, it is a privilege for Harvest to maintain strategic partnerships with Christian leaders and agencies dedicated to the proclamation of the gospel and the building of disciples, both locally and around the world. Here is a glimpse of our current strategic partnerships, and insights into what God is doing in and through them as they carry out His eternal plan.
