MISSION STATEMENT:

The primary mission and purpose of Harvesters for Christ is to glorify God through both our words and actions. We promote evangelism and the joy of sharing one’s faith in a Reformed manner. As God prepares us through Bibles study and prayer, we trust that He will grow us up in our Christian faith so that we will be useful in the work of His Kingdom.

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’” (Is. 6:8)

WHERE YOU FIT IN:

Today God is asking you the same question he put to Isaiah: Are you willing and prepared to do all for the glory of God?

Bethel URC is recruiting Reformed Christians to proclaim the Gospel beginning right here in West Michigan and extending into the far reaches of the world. If you’ve noticed that you seem either a little shy or a little lazy when it comes to evangelizing, then Bethel invites you to join the group: Harvesters for Christ. The group prepares you to live out your calling as a witness of the Gospel of Christ by helping you make your faith so natural that you cannot help but talk about it everywhere!

HOW IT WORKS:

The method is two-fold:

STUDY books like…

• Let the Nations Be Glad by John Piper

• Every Thought Captive by Richard Pratt

• Let’s Study Acts by Dennis E. Johnson

• Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God by JI Packer

The group also practices using tracts such as Evangelism Explosion and Ultimate Questions which require Scripture memorization

ACT in ways like…

• Lord’s Storehouse Food Pantry – Harvesters leads a Bible study for the people who use the food pantry.

• Door-to-Door – By means of caroling or inviting kids to VBS, the group distributes tracts.

• Foreign Mission Projects – Harvesters serves as the training camp for short-term URC missions.

GETTING STARTED:

• Meditate on Isaiah 6.
