About Us

A Grace-Full Ministry where we are intent on making CHRISTLIKE disciples by being a CHANGED life to people everywhere for CHRIST.

(Romans 12:1-2; II Corinthians 5:17)

CHANGED Life.

CHANGING our World through

CHRIST.

"H.A.R.V.E.S.T." is our True North* -

God's way in a changing world:

H - Honor God with all our hearts, all our souls, all our minds, and all our strengths by living a holy life.

A - Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest field.

R - Reach out to the people who are lost, knowing that they are a heartbeat away from eternal separation from God's love.

V - Visualize the possibilities we ought to do to glorify God though our resources.

E - Edify the believers through preaching and teaching Biblical truths.

S - Share Christ's love with the community around us by

finding a need and fill it, finding a hurt and heal it.

T - Train lay leaders for the ministry to harvest eternal life.

EPHESIANS 4:11-16

"And Christ gave gifts to people - he made some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to go and tell the Good News, and some to have the work of caring for and teaching God's people. Christ gave those gifts to prepare God's holy people for the work of serving, to make the body of Christ stronger. This work must continue until we are all joined together in the same faith and in the same knowledge of the Son of God. We must become like a mature person, growing until we become like Christ and have his perfection. Then we will no longer be babies. We will not be tossed about like a ship that the waves carry one way and then another. We will not be influenced by every new teaching we hear from people who are trying to fool us. They make plans and try any kind of trick to fool people into following the wrong path. No! Speaking the truth with love, we will grow up in every way into Christ, who is the head. The whole body depends on Christ, and all the parts of the body are joined and held together. Each part does its own work to make the whole body grow and be strong with love." (New Century Version)

COMMUNITY OF NEW HARVEST:

" LITTLE IS MUCH WHEN GOD IS IN IT "

"When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place... They were devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was fillied with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signes were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."

Acts 2:1, 42-47 NIV

"And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't get discouraged and give up. That's why whenever we can we should always be kind to everyone, and especially to our Christian bothers." GALATIANS 6:9-10 THE BOOK.

Our "Spiritual Blessings" Vision

"I will look favorably upon you, making you fertile and multiplying your people. And I will fulfill my covenant with you. You will have such a surplus for crops that you will need to clear out the old grain to make room for the new harvest." (Leviticus 26:9, 10 NLT)

We believe these scriptural verses are also applicable to our daily life as we are obedient to God's word:

1. We will have God's favor upon us.

2. We will have a spiritual growth [in Christ]

3. We will have an increase in numbers

4. We will have God's protection upon us

5. We will have more than enough resources

6. We will need to hive off and share our blessings

7. We will have a greater NEW HARVEST as we

will be able to bring more harvest of people into

God's House.

Although we would like to reach as many as people for Jesus; however, our goal is

not about a big church

but CHANGED LIVES.
