Harvest Time's Mission Statement
Harvest Time Ministries Int. is a Christian based organization dedicated to reaching people worldwide with the love of Jesus Christ. Our two main visions are to first bring God's Word to the nations and second, to help those in poverty with clothing, food, medical supplies, and whatever else is needed. Harvest Time is based on a five-fold ministry, apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, teaching, and pastoral along with deliverance, and humanitarian aide. We desire to reach out and touch the lives of Christians and non-Christians alike for the glory of God.
Harvest Time sends out missionaires to the mission field. Coming up at the end of March is our third mission trip we have sent out to Suriname, South America. We also have supplied several needy countries world-wide with clothing, blankets, hygiene products, shoes, medical supplies, toys for children, and other things that are desperatly needed in these poverty stricken nations. Operating out of Barriere, British Columbia, we have depots around the province where we gather used clothing and shoes. We also collect medical supplies and hygiene products from businesses and people. Right now Harvest Time is expanding it's borders in all these areas. We are growing and expanding daily with more new projects hapening, new connections being made, and and greater burning in the hearts of those within the ministry to fulfill Jesus' words "Go into all the world...to all people..." (Mark 16:15)
Harvest Time Ministries International began in November 1999 when Chris and Monica Brown got a hold of this vision and started the ministry. We have now grown to where we are now as a founded society with an executive board and a board of directers. Numerous other people are also involved in areas like depots, mission trips and the gathering of supplies.
Harvest Time also works closely with Full Gospel Church in Lelydorp, Suriname, South America. Brother Karl Kassanpawiro is the senior pastor of the church and part of Eagle's Wings Ministries International. He came to Canada for the month of March 2002 to strengthen the connections between these Surinamese ministries and our ministry.
Harvest Time's Vision
"God gave me the vision for Harvest Time in 1999.
It burned in my heart that their were many wounded lost souls in the world. I felt God saying we were TO GO into all the world to preach. People were so sick of the idea that Christians just played at church that it was time to go to them and not wait for them to come to us.
Church is built on relationships. People want to see that we practise what we preach. I felt we needed to go back to an Acts 21 church.
I felt the Holy Spirit wanting me to get out of my comfort zone and allow myself to be stretched and used by Him.
I have a burning compassionate desire to see the lost saved, healed and delivered. I have a love and desire to work with the children. My life doesn't matter anymore, I just want to be about my heavenly Father's business. I believe that in these end times we need to to take on God's agenda and lay ours aside!
I have been blessed that my husband Christopher has been very supportive he has released me to be obedient to what God calls me to do and blessed me by taking care of things at home and covering me in prayer while I have been out on the mission field.
I have a vision to take a bus and drive from Barriere to Suriname. Ministering all the way there and back." Monica Brown, Founder and President of Harvest Time
Here at Harvest Time, we want to evangelize and see souls won for the Lord..also to see them healed, and delivered. Then we want to see them equipped and sent out to "preach the gospel, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out demons! We also want to send humanitarian aid and missionaries out to minister the heart of Christ throughout the world. We also want to church plant.
