Dear Friends, I recently met someone who had just returned from a once-in-a-lifetime vacation to Kathmandu. She spoke in glowing terms about the rich history of Nepal, the beauty of the Himalayas, and the congeniality of the people. Her guide told her that there is harmony between people of all religions – Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and […]
Church planting, poverty alleviation, pastor training, disaster relief, education. Whether you’ve been supporting Harvest Bridge for years or have just begun learning about us, you probably know we are involved in all these things. At first glance, it can appear that doing so much in so many places might hinder our focus. However, we have only […]
Whenever we have the opportunity, Harvest Bridge seeks to partner with other established organizations on a range of projects. For example, we work with The Voice of the Martyrs to meet the needs of our many persecuted pastors and missionaries. We’ve partnered with UMCOR, World Relief and Samaritan’s Purse on disaster relief and community development […]
Pakistan. The world’s sixth most-populated nation, with nearly 200 million people. 97% of the country is Muslim, and 384 of its 394 ethno-linguistic people groups are considered unreached with the Gospel. Pakistan is one of the world’s greatest remaining challenges to fulfilling the Great Commission. In this beautiful land, full of much need and much […]
For several months, Nepal has been debating an anti-conversion bill in Parliament. The law stipulates, “Preaching, testifying, and counselling people for religious matter and leading them to new religion other than their forefathers’ traditions is considered as crime. The punishment is 5 years imprisonment as well as Nrs 50000/ fine for those who break the Law.” Although […]
Last June, I stepped into a village in Bangladesh whose residents, until they met me, didn’t know white people existed. At the time, over 175 people from animist and Hindu backgrounds had been discipled in the Christian faith for several months, and were ready to be baptized. They received the Gospel through three lay Bangladeshi pastors, […]
2 AM, southeastern Nepal. A car carrying three sleepless occupants cruises toward Kathmandu, the country’s capital. The passengers, myself and an Indian Harvest Bridge partner, had just visited church planters in Bangladesh, Bhutan and northern India, checking on projects and gathering reports from their ministries. We intended to do the same in Nepal, but our flight […]
The Lord God has blessed Reuben’s* ministry in Bhutan. When Harvest Bridge began partnering with him and his wife, Priscilla*, in mid 2012, Reuben’s main church, consisted of over 100 members at the heart of Thimpu city, which is the capital of Bhutan.Through him and 11 other servants, 11 branch churches and 20 house churches had already […]
Our 17 church planters in Myanmar, also known as Burma, work tirelessly to spread the Gospel, both in depth and reach. Discipleship is paramount in their ministries; accepting Christ in this country is a matter of physical life and death, not only spiritual. These men and women, along with their families, face beatings, imprisonment, rape, kidnapping, and even death. […]
Be encouraged. God is at work! During a time of violent political turmoil in Bangladesh, in the last six months our 35 church planters in Bangladesh shared the gospel with 5,531 individuals, saw 1754 people accept Christ, and baptized 689 of those men and women! We would like to share just a few stories of joy and encouragement, along with prayer requests, from these indigenous church […]
