Harvest Compassion

 
"A Bridge to Great Commission/Great Commandment Ministries"


Our one-on-one approach to discipleship mobilization leads back to many diverse churches and communities. We carefully train the most proven men and women in Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and Great Commandment (Matthew 22:34-40) ministries, ensuring the continuity of discipleship while establishing a base for compassionate initiatives. We expect God-centered transformation leading to transformational stewardship in their churches and communities.

Purpose Statement: To contend with the various underlying causes of Africa's poverty (economic, physical, social, spiritual, leadership and visionary) by identifying, preparing, recommending, and monitoring proven African ministries able to implement biblical transformational stewardship.

A Bridge
We promote responsible alliances for tested and proven East African disciple-makers engaged in holistic ministry activities in their churches and communities. We serve as a bridge between donors and recipients and do not fund such ministries ourselves.
