HARVESTING: Every church harvesting and celebrating every salvation response

“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work,” Jesus told them. “Don’t you say, ‘There are still four more months, then comes the harvest’? Listen [to what] I’m telling you: Open your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ready for harvest. The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life, so the sower and reaper can rejoice together” (John 4:34-36, HCSB).

When we personally engage in the evangelism process and see our churches engaged, we will see a harvest in North America.

We will need to give effective invitations to follow Christ through personal conversations where lost people are gathered. We must increase the opportunities for people to respond to the gospel.

What would happen if churches across North America held cutting-edge harvest events and ministries in a continent that has been prayed for and sown down with the gospel? Imagine churches consistently baptizing more people and seeing a spiritual awakening and church planting movement in North America.

Just Imagine!

• Millions of people receiving Christ as Savior and Lord.
  
  
• Record number of baptisms in our churches.
  
  
• People changed for eternity; families and communities transformed.
  
  
• New small groups started.
  
  
• Churches revitalized.
  
  
• Churches planting churches.
