Updates from India and Myanmar In late 2022, with $5000 in support from SowHope (a partner organization), Priya*, the head of GATE (Gypsy and Tribal Empowerment), began a job training for twenty women. These women, treated societally and legally as sub-human and therefore blocked from education or job opportunities, have spent most of their lives […]
The Christmas story is for the nations! Christ a promise to all peoples. That is not only the spirit of Christmas, but the essence of all that we do at Harvest Bridge. Over the last six months, our small team of three full-time staff visited many of our partners to reconnect after the pandemic, strengthening […]
Dear Friends, I am writing this letter from Nepal, the week before Thanksgiving. It’s been a very full past three weeks, as our leaders in the country have been carrying out church savings group trainings for about 75 church leaders in two different regions. These groups provide vulnerable families with a place to safely save […]
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.

$540. A couple of years ago, through a generous individual donor, Harvest Bridge gave Cing*, Lun* and Lian* $540 each. These three women have taken that and have not only created a new life for their families, but are also lifting up other women with them. All three women were living on less than $1 a […]
We assist local ministries in establishing and carrying out economic development programs, including vocational training and support for microenterprises. Our women’s empowerment program, modeled on the Graduation Approach developed by Bangladesh-based international nonprofit BRAC, provides one-time investments to equip extremely poor women and their families with the skills, productive assets, and social support necessary to […]
Six years ago, I visited South Asia for the first time as a summer intern with Harvest Bridge. The internship involved working with local healthcare professionals and Harvest Bridge’s national partners to conduct free medical clinics for underserved populations and develop a set of best practices for HB’s medical programs. This work took us to […]
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 […]
