Our Senior Pastor, Mirek Hufton, had the amazing privilege of growing up on the mission field as the son of devoted missionaries Austen and Boya. This early upbringing and burning passion for the lost gave birth to his vision for reaching the nations.
The churchâs commitment to the Great Commission continued to grow as the Missions School curriculum was introduced, speakers from around the world visited, and teams returned home with miraculous testimonies as to how World Harvest Church and its members are touching the nations.
In 2007, after an increase in international trips and a few emergency trips to meet the needs of Katrina, the official missions department was established.
In 2008, World Harvest Church launched Stephen and Annette Tour, who began establishing another World Harvest Church in Liberia.
By 2012, we had over 100 participants and 20 short-term trips in 5 continents with the good news of the Gospel being shared.
Then he said to his disciples,
âThe harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.â
Matthew 9:37-38
God wants His whole church to take the whole gospel to the whole world. We must have a heart like Jesus - a heart for the world.
âEveryone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.â How, then, can they call on the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: âHow beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!â
Romans 10:13-15 (NIV)
If we donât go, who will?
Thatâs the question that should burn in each believerâs heart. Without our efforts and support, who would preach the Gospel to the lost? Who would bring the Word to those living in remote villages unable to access modern technology? Who is going to tell those children in India, Africa, China, and around the world that theyâre beautiful and that Jesus loves them?
Thereâs one simple answer to all of those questions: YOU! Matthew 24:14 says, âAnd this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.â You are the one who will be preaching the Gospel to all the world.
Maybe you donât think youâre ready? But if we were all to wait until weâre âready,â no one would ever go. Thatâs the beauty of missions: when you go with a willingness and an open heart, God will use you greater than you could have ever imagined. So whatâs stopping you? Time? Finances? Uncertainty? Regardless of what the physical circumstances are telling you, God will prepare a way for you!
We seek to educate, motivate, and facilitate the body of World Harvest Church to reach every tongue, tribe, and nation with the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ.
