OUR MISSION
The Harvest Foundation exists to support the dreams and callings of God’s people around the world through intentional investments of time, resources and/or labor that helps to steward the work & realize the vision.
Those contributions may vary from one-time sponsorships to long-term partnerships that help develop multi-phase projects and equip people to embrace their fullest potential. Harvest Foundation endeavors to enter into each potential sponsorship by prayerful consideration, as God opens the doors of His choosing.
“We’re committed to helping families build quality, multi-purpose facilities — places where they can gather, learn, and develop healthy communities.”
