USA – Beat your plowshares into swords – December 22, 2020
Many thanks to everyone who has supported Walker Motor Works, the used car dealership in Marysville. Over the years, Harvest Vision Ministries has implemented many sustainability projects that were started to provide finances for the ongoing support of our co-laborers in the harvest fields of central Africa. After much time in prayer, Linda and I were led to support Blake and Kylee Walker, our granddaughter, in their effort to establish Walker Motor Works to provide for the future of their family and the other employees and generate financial support long-term for the ministry. Kylee has been actively involved in the ministry since we started 20 years ago. We are confident this seed will generate a harvest of support for the spreading of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the expanding of God’s kingdom. The dealership is located at 9430 State Avenue in Marysville, WA.
“We are a family business that honestly cares about our staff, associates, customers and our community. Our goal is to provide each customer with a respectful and caring staff that will make every effort to ensure they leave Walker Motor Works with the vehicle that will meet their need at a fair price. Our success is dependent on the satisfaction of those we serve. We promise an honest transaction, but our goal is to have a lasting relationship based on mutual respect and genuine concern.”

Africa – Therefore go and make disciples – December 16, 2020
Even though there are always trials and tribulation, our co-laborers in the harvest fields of central Africa are faithful to obey Jesus command to “Go and make disciples”. As it should be, their understanding of the word “Go” is not a physical command – it is an attitude that establishes their lifestyle. My interpretation is: “Jesus died for me – I live for Him”. The Father simply invites everyone to “Come”. That is the “Come” just as you are come. Jesus simply paid the costs and is the Way to the Father. Even though we do not have the testimonies from all our coordinators for November, they have coordinated 20 crusades or door-to-door ministry outreaches that have witnessed 738 salvations and these new believers are now being taught to become disciples.
We also just received this testimony from Pastor Titus, one of the coordinators in east Uganda from an outreach this week.
“Yesterday, we shared the gospel in Syanyonja primary school where we ministered to 62 students and 3 teachers. The head teacher and all the students received the joy of salvation. The head teacher even went on to invite us next year when schools open to share the gospel again with all the students.
Thanks.”

Africa – The house of the Lord – December 15, 2020
“I rejoiced with those who said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
Psalm 122:1
We are thankful that Pastor Simon, the Harvest Vision coordinator in north Kenya, sent these photos of the outside and inside of the church fellowship center the Lord provided for the Dasanach people that live in Illeret on the border of Kenya and Ethiopia.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.”
Psalm 127:1
“I lift up my eyes to the hills – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. The Lord watches over you – the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.”
Psalm 121:1-2, 5-6
