A Word from Pastor (Papa) George

USA – Harvest Kids, July 09, 2022

Another beautiful day that the Lord provided us for our weekly Harvest Kids.

Thanks again
to everyone
that donated
cans,
change,
and came to support these young believers 
as the
Holy Spirit
teaches them
to become
true disciples
of
Jesus Christ.
  Of course, Miss Ruby
brought two small kittens.
The kittens immediately became the
focus of the kids’ and the adults’ attention.
A beautiful thing to watch
God’s creatures
just bring a calming spirit into the fellowship. 
After we got all the cans crushed,
we counted $152 that had been donated
to finish the classrooms
at the primary school in Africa.
That leaves $1,214
finishing up their goal to complete
the foundation and get the bricks
for two more classrooms.
We enjoyed singing praises as Odette led us with songs using her guitar.
Mama Linda played “We are in the Lord’s Army” and “The Last One Chosen.”

We shared the scripture

from James 2,

reminding us

to not show favoritism

by just hanging out

with people that like

what we like to do

and

possibly make them feel

“less than”.

There are always

opportunities to share how

God’s Word

helps us to reflect

the love of Jesus to others.

After lunch,
Zoenicole gave us a lesson using puppets.
She shared with us about patience and why it is one of the gifts of the Spirit.
It is always important to ask for patience
because in our flesh our natural tendency is to
“Want it and want it now”.
 
While the kids were playing basketball, picking and eating raspberries and strawberries,
and playing with the cats, kittens, and rabbits,
we were blessed with a visit from families that belong to a church fellowship
that had come to do door-to-door ministry in our neighborhood.
What a wonderful encouragement
and example for all of us
of sharing our faith with others in our neighborhoods and communities.

We are looking forward to joining everyone at the

Child’s Evangelism Fellowship 5-day club

July 11-15, Mon-Fri,

at the

Garden of Eden family ministry

at

14700 Avon Allen Rd 

west Mt. Vernon, WA

from 12:30-2 pm.

We are hoping to make many new friends.

And by the way – there is a petting zoo there.

We are also having a garage and produce sale

to support the ministry in Africa,

including the Harvest Kids school project.

USA – Transition, July 7, 2022

We want to thank everyone that have made themselves available to support Harvest Vision Ministries. We are looking forward to witnessing the kingdom advance, locally and globally, as the Body of Christ becomes one. So the whole world will see that Jesus was sent from the Father and has given us the gift of eternal life with Him.

Just two days ago, we received the testimony from our coordinator in Burundi that shared that 375 people accepted Jesus last month and 87 of them have been baptized.

What a blessing to receive these testimonies every day!

As many of you know, Linda and I are in the process of selling our home. We will be moving to live with the widow that has chosen to allow God to use her property in west Mt. Vernon to advance the kingdom.

It is called the Garden of Eden family ministry located at 14799 Avon Allen Rd. It is about ½ mile on the left going south past Memorial Highway. Because we are back and forth so much, we will not be able to commit to having the Harvest Home in Sedro Woolley open every Tue-Fri from 10 am-4 pm as we have been. We will be back and forth, but for this month (July), we will be having Harvest Kids on Saturdays from 10 am-12:30 pm and home church on Thursday at 6 pm at the Harvest Home in Sedro Woolley.

 

At the Garden of Eden in Mt. Vernon,
we are hosting a
Child’s Evangelism Fellowship 5-day club
Monday-Friday, July 11-15,
at the Garden from 12:30-2 pm.
 
Adults and youth are welcome, but the lessons are geared for 5–12-year-old children.
We also have a playground, picnic area, garden, and petting zoo at the property.

The garage and produce sale is starting at the Garden Tue (July 12th)-Sat, 9-5 pm and will be ongoing through July & possibly into August. All donations from the garage sale will help further the spreading of the gospel locally and in Mexico, El Salvador, and central Africa.

The donations from the produce will be used by Harvest Kids for finishing the primary school for orphaned and vulnerable children in Africa.

For information call George at 360-421-8811 or Linda at 360-421-8812.

USA – Jesus the way the truth the life, July 4, 2022

What a beautiful day the Lord provided for the Sedro Woolley Loggerodeo parade today.

Many thanks to all the helpers including the drivers and those that loaned us their trailers for the floats.

It was a blessing for the Harvest Kids to have the opportunity to thank everyone in our community that supports them as they reach out to orphaned and vulnerable children in central Africa. They have raised $4,434 toward the $5,800 needed to finish the foundation and purchase the bricks for the 6th & 7th-grade classrooms at the Harvest Doves primary school in Kayunga, Uganda.

Your prayers and support would be appreciated.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Everyone on the float shared that they felt the presence of God and His anointing touching the hearts of many of those that were at the parade today. We are looking forward to the testimonies of those that were comforted, counseled, or convicted by the Holy Spirit as He led us through this community that the Father loves so much that He sent His One and Only Son to suffer and die for the sin of all mankind that we might be restored to our rightful place in His eternal kingdom.

We are looking forward to seeing you and your children at the Child’s Evangelism Fellowship 5-day club at the Garden of Eden family ministry at 14799 Avon Allen Rd in west Mt. Vernon from 12:30-2 pm, Monday-Friday, July 11-15.

Adults and youth are welcome, but the lessons are geared for 5–12-year-old children.

We also have a playground, picnic area, garden, and petting zoo at the property.

Our annual garage sale for donations begins this week to help further the spreading of the gospel into different nations in central Africa.

The garage sale will be at the same location, Tuesday-Saturday, 9 am-5 pm, and will go through July.

We will also have produce available from the large garden that has been planted.

For information call George at 360-421-8811 or Linda at 360-421-8812.
