Like every other Ministry, Harvest Fellowship was greatly affected by the pandemic. International travel = the heart and soul of this ministry – stopped. Additionally, I suffered a major health crisis.
However, the Lord still blessed in remarkable ways. Thanks to a host of good people, (especially my wife), my health has been restored.
We’ve been blessed in finances. Because of the generosity of our partners, and the fact that travel was impossible, we have been able to store up finances. We were then in a position to bless more people and more ministries. For example, we sent $500.00 to a Messianic Congregation in Berdechev, Ukraine. The money was used to help feed poor children.
Because all public meeting was prohibited, my political involvement came to a complete halt. Presently, I am back involved, attending meetings, developing friendships, and trying to be a voice of righteousness. However, as I’ve said many times, my primary goal with this activity is to win people to Christ!
Most of you are aware that recently we raised money to help the victims in Israel after the latest terrorist attack. The project was a success as Harvest Fellowship sent $6,000 for such victims.
We expect our TV Ministry will expand in the second half of 2021. Production will experience a huge boost as we have finished our own studio. We have purchased all the necessary equipment and shortly will be able to do most of the recoding from home.
Finally, I have received a personal word from the Lord that I can now resume overseas travel.
The pandemic was a trial for all of us. Some lost family members and friends. Christian ministries faced unprecedented and unimaginable challenges. Many times it seemed as if we ministries had nothing to do. Out activity being restricted, we had extra and unusual amounts of time on our hands. We had to stay in our home for long periods. We could not visit family and fiends; ‘hand-on’ ministry was, at times, non-existent.
Yet, looking back, we can all shout a loud AMEN that He continued to work. I look back and can say for sure, though our lives were greatly impaired, God kept blessing. More than I thought!
