It has been a very full month in Bangladesh with floods, food relief, persecution, and baptisms. Dated messages from Pastor Darpan*, our Bangladesh director, paint the picture. July and August saw severe flooding in many parts of the country. Several million people were displaced in early August alone. August 10th “I would like to share […]
After 2 1/2 years of a pandemic, with all communication with our leaders in Asia being through messaging and video calls, I’ve been able to take two trips to visit our leaders since March. One to Chennai, India in April, and the other to multiple parts of Nepal and Bangladesh in June. Honestly, it was […]
So much is happening in all of our ministries, both in terms of the ministries themselves and the challenges impacting them – Covid, flooding, and the civil/defense war in Myanmar are all playing major roles right now.

Harvest Bridge exists to be a bridge between the harvest in South Asia and the church in the West, so we advocate for our South Asian brothers and sisters, sharing how the Lord is working through them. In most cases, […]
It was only 10AM, but the temperature was already nearing 100 degrees. Pastor Ritesh* led the way up the hill, first on a rough gravel road and then a narrow footpath. As we ascended, I couldn’t resist turning around frequently to catch glimpses of the beautiful sun-dried landscape in this remote district of western India. […]
Every six months, we receive reports from our national missionaries in the eight countries where we work. They range from stories of persecution and miracles, to prayer requests and future goals. From ordinary to heartbreaking to awe-inspiring, these stories are a reminder of how God is working in South Asia. Below, are several examples for […]
International Women’s Day is, according to the UN, “a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.” Thankfully, Harvest Bridge gets to celebrate women like this all year […]
