USA/Africa – Open your eyes and look to the fields, March 5, 2025

     Jesus said: “Open your eyes (and heart) and look to the fields, they are ripe for harvest.”

Many thanks to those that have been helping with the preparing of the garden and getting seeds started and plants in the greenhouse. Also, those that having been helping with the prep for the lift and mechanic shop that we can use to help those, especially the elderly and single parent families, that are struggling because of the high costs of mechanic repair.

     Also thanks to those that pray and help financially support the many different aspects of the over-all ministry, including the preparing for the mission to Africa the first of April and the ministry and the projects the Harvest Kids are involved with to help meet the needs of vulnerable and orphaned children in central Africa. 

     Thanks for those that have been praying for Augustine and his family in the DRCongo. We shared his text from a week ago.

“Hello dear servants of God. Today the security situation has just worsened in Goma. The students who were in class to study have just been forcibly taken back to be recruited into military training by the M23 rebels who have been in the city for a month now. They burned where people had come to rest. They created panic everywhere. We are truly between suffering psychological shocks because of these troubles. Pray for us, especially for the population of Goma.”

   Please join with us as we continue to pray for the Rwandan M-23 rebels that have taken over the city of Goma in western DRCongo and the people that live there. This has been ongoing since January. Goma is the home of our coordinator, Augustine and his family and the other believers that support the outreaches that have been ongoing in the city and communities along the border of the DRCongo. The population of Goma is 3 million and 1 million are displaced from other parts of the DRCongo. Many young people live in Goma because they have the opportunity to go to school and many respond to the gospel message that has been taken to the schools throughout the city over these last few years much of it inspired by Augustine’s vision to reach the children and youth. It is estimated that over 7,000 have been killed, many wounded, homes destroyed, families displaced and lack of food and water.
