Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” At Harvest Time International Church, we stand as vessels of obedience, answering this divine call with boldness and faith. Our mission is clear: to bring souls into salvation and eternal life through the love and truth of Jesus Christ. We are also guided by the comforting promise of John 10:27-28 , where Jesus says: “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

It is a divine rescue mission, carefully planned long before the first star appeared in the sky. This season calls us to remember, to tell the next generation what God has done, and to refocus our hearts on why heaven stepped into earth. Christmas reminds us that God had a plan, paid the price, and made a way where there was none. When we remove ourselves from the center and return our focus to Him, the holiday becomes a holy day—celebrating the greatest exchange the world has ever known.
