Vikings Game, Dinner and Fun, and More!
Harvest, What a game on Sunday ! I know. The outcome stunk. The Halvorsens send out a heartfelt "sorry" to all you rabid Vikes fans. Now you know what it's like to follow the Cubs. Why do we do it? It's a sickness, man. Love it, though. The Cubs will win it all one day. The Vikes will, too. Don't give up! Pitchers and catchers report soon. Go Cubs and Twins! Hey, here are some great things to make note of at Harvest... 2010 Ministry Goals... You might remember a few emails back, maybe eight... More

Haiti, Feed My Starving Children, and Prayer...
Harvest, If things work as planned, I'm going to be sending a few more emails than usual this week. Why? There are things you need to know. There's a lot happening. God's working. Momentum is knocking on the door. All we can do is pray. It's all God's timing. God's leading this movement, and we know that God rewards faith and patience! Haiti ...

It might be God working...
Harvest, Here's another seed for thought concerning the discussion "What's going to make us different from other churches?" ... we need to understand how to capture "God Momentum" when it comes to us. Take, for instance, prayer. On Sunday , we had a great turnout during the 9:00am-9:50am prayer time . I'm not sure how many were in there, my head was down and eyes closed, but it was a huge blessing. People just kept walking in the room. Now, we have one of two choices. First, we can choose to be...

A "Thank You" From a Family
Harvest, We'll continue Seven Question/Seven Answers next week. For now, I wanted to send you an encouraging note from someone, outside our church, that received assistance from us this Christmas . I'm so grateful that God worked so powerfully through this ministry. Libbie and Brent, thank you for your vision and your work in this. God used it! People, you/we are the church. Never underestimate what God wants to do through you and me. Dear Harvest, I cannot even tell you what a blessing you... More

A question I'm asking in 2010...
Harvest, Here's a question I'm asking myself in 2010, "What's going to continue to make us different from other churches in the Twin Cities this year?" The question is not motivated from a heart of competition. You'll find that we'll partner with like-minded churches in the near future. I'm rooting for good, Bible-preaching churches to gain ground in 2010, not lose ground. The question comes more from a heart of stewardship. God's raised us up for a reason. He's raised us up for His glory, and... More
