The first Sunday of November is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. So you can be equipped to pray, below are a few stories of persecution from the last few months, directly from the men and women you support through Harvest Bridge. These stories come from areas where we have seen increased […]
Thank you for your prayers and support in 2018! It was a rollercoaster of a year – not only in parts of the world that tend to dominate Western news headlines, but also in the countries where Harvest Bridge operates. Yet God is faithful; our South Asian partners accomplished much for the kingdom last year, […]
As Thanksgiving approaches, I have been thinking about the recent deliverance of Asha*, a young woman in Nepal. Twenty-three-year-old Asha lived in hell. From the age of five, she spent most of her days trembling and weeping in a corner. Occasionally, Asha would scream for no apparent reason. She bit and clawed anyone who approached […]
As I pore through six month reports from our South Asian missionaries, A.W. Tozer’s wisdom comes to mind: “God does not love populations, He loves people.

They are […]

Dear Friends, In light of Valentine’s Day, this newsletter is dedicated to the missionary couples Harvest Bridge has the privilege of partnering with. These members of our Christian family serve Jesus together in difficult places; as couples, their ministries complement one another and facilitate deeper impact in their communities. Sunil* and Premila* are a perfect […]
Sunday, November 6th, is the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP). It is a day to pray for and celebrate our brothers and sisters who are persecuted for their faith. “Often I have heard people say, ‘How good God is! We prayed that it would not rain for our church picnic, and […]
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 […]
