PRAYER
STANDING OUR GROUND
We don’t have words to thank God for all that he
has been doing through his people in the prayer ministry. The team has been praying relentlessly without fail. The willingness and readiness of the warriors has gone a long way to sustain the church spiritually. Many of our warriors have received revelations through dreams and visions, which have guided some of our prayers.
The Lord has not only given us the mandate to pray for the church, we also saw how the Lord used us to intercede for the nation, other ministries and church members. We have maintained a prayer platform which has regular participants.
We are determined to maintain a strong prayer atmosphere. Considering the mandate the Lord has given us as a church, we refuse to relax our prayers, even for a moment. The Lord has been faithful providing people with a heart for prayer. As the ministry grows, we will also try to stretch our wings as well. We take this opportunity to thank all our warriors for standing strong in prayer all these years.

Our year of impartation brought a new level of expectation. I believe that God wanted to align us for the assignment he had given us for 2023 just as Elisha had aligned himself to receive the double portion anointing from Elijah.
We started off with the worship workshop which is always a great time to encourage the team, welcome new members and share the plans for the year ahead. We had the privilege of hosting itinerant Worship Leader Steve Tebb. He shared on how to maximise our potential and build a strong, unified team.
The team has risen above the expectations that we set for the year and there was significant growth with new musicians and singers being added to the band. We created a Harvest choir which has now become part of the team and we are looking forward to growing the choir further in the coming year.
Our goal is to see the glory of God manifest in our worship and to pursue His presence at all times.

Marriage Forging ahead together
Our 2023 ministry goal was to become a source of support for married couples and every team member worked hard to ensure we delivered against our desire (Proverbs 27:17).
We held a wonderful marriage event in May 2023 themed “ Forging ahead together”. The event had a lot of fun, games and “couples time” which made for a great evening. The feedback was very positive. In October, we ran a successful Q&A session for married couples and singles. Over the course of three hours
a vast range of questions were put to the panel which consisted of the marriage ministry team and an invited therapy specialist. It was appreciated by all who joined.
Pre-marital counselling was provided to several couples, and Terry & Vivian trained the ministry team. The team were on hand throughout the year to support married couples within the church, both formally and informally.

CELLS YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Our cell Ministry is a vital part of Harvest. Cells provide the perfect setting for people to experience the love and power of God, and to learn and grow together.
Every year we look to equip cell leaders. We held a cell leaders’ training day in July for our Life Changers students, existing cell leaders and prospective leaders. The training focused on several key topics including: why we do cells, the purpose of them, how to birth a cell and how to run them.
We had plenty of time for questions and answers and the opportunity to share lessons and ideas with each other. It was great to study and learn about the importance of cells. Jesus, our lead, example discipled 12 and not the multitudes. We also learned a lot about ensuring how to keep cells interactive when running them online. There will be another training session in 2024 so please look out for this.
Cell groups are vital, whether you have been a
believer for 5 days or 50 years. Charlotte explained: “I am a cell leader and also in a cell. It’s important for me to be in a cell - to have a sense of belonging and knowing that I am not on my own. For a while I wasn’t in a cell but last year I rejoined one and it has been such a blessing to me.”
Most cells are online but in 2023 we also learned the importance of mixing online cell with meeting in person - something that we are going to focus on in 2024. It’s great to meet online and easily accessible but it’s also great to connect face to face. Please contact us on 020 8900 2090 if you wish to join a cell group.

Those who have been on the course have testified of the skills and gifting it has given them to fulfil their destiny.
a but a part-time, one LIFE CHANGERS
year academy that is held on Saturday mornings. It is designed to prepare you for your destiny and revolutionise your relationship with God. It is there to help you to grow in faith and love so that you can live out His plan for your life.
The national lockdowns in the pandemic forced us to move the whole course online. It’s a model we have decided to keep as it enables anyone in the world with an internet connection to join Life Changers - not just those who can get to Wembley on a Saturday morning!
Life Changers was given to us as a church by God. Within minutes of waking from a divinely inspired dream, Pastor Paul Naughton had received the entire curriculum. It transforms traditional education subjects into revelation from God. So, a maths lesson is about financial prosperity. Biology is about multiplying as a cell group. And history is about God’s achievements in the Old and New Testament giving us the faith to change things.
We had the honour of seeing eleven brilliant students graduate in 2023 and the new year has started in January 2024 with more pupils hungry to get to grips with God’s word and apply it to their lives.
We flourished this year. One week we always treasure as teachers is when students prepare and deliver presentations on revivalists such as Smith Wigglesworth and Maria Woodworth-Etter. Every presentation delivered high quality revelation and it was a foretaste of the sort of ministry that will come from our undergraduates in the future.
Those who have been on the course have testified of the skills and gifting it has given them to fulfil their destiny. We are hugely enjoying what God is doing so far this year. It has been a real blessing for students and teachers alike. If you think you’d like to join next year, please see Tim and Sarah. We’d love to welcome you to Life Changers!

CHILDREN’S CHURCH
In March, the Children’s Ministry team, together with a group of about 20 children, attended the evangelist’s conference. We had the privilege of having Pastor Olly Goldenberg leading an
evangelism workshop for the children. They were trained to share the gospel and learnt a fun dance which they later performed on the streets of Wembley. As well as the dance, they sang a worship song in public and participated in sharing the gospel with different people. Many children testified how surprised they were at how bold they had become. Some children continued to join the evangelism team in sharing the gospel during the summer months.
In May, we held a children’s encounter which was attended by about 40 children. They were reminded that they are special and valuable because they were designed by God. They learnt that God loved them and chose them before the foundation of the world. Many were able to recognise lies that they had been believing about their identity.
They shared the negative words spoken to them by teachers, friends and families that affected how they saw themselves.
In November, most of our children attended ‘Free To Be Me’. They learnt how to give their sadness and pain to God. They were each given a copy of the 10 day devotional, ‘My Heart Matters’ which encourages them to continue on their healing journey. It was written to help them become secure and strong; able to withstand the storms of life. There were many powerful testimonies in the weeks following the event.
Our annual Light party was attended by almost 70 children. It was lots of fun with a DJ, face painting and great food. During the Christmas season, the children participated in a pre-recorded worship dance video during the youth service. The children continue to share wonderful testimonies of healing, provision, protection and God’s favour in their lives as well as those of friends’ and families’.

This past year was truly remarkable, marked by divine impartation in the lives of our leaders and youth. It was a testament to God's faithfulness and a year of exceeding expectations.
Inspiring Youth Journeys
The annual vision board tradition proved its power as countless youth witnessed amazing breakthroughs. From exceeding exam expectations to dream vacations and prestigious musical opportunities, God manifested their desires in incredible ways.
11
The DTI camping trip offered a perfect blend of fun and spiritual growth, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who participated.
The "Importance of Salvation" youth encounter yielded powerful results, with 24 youth in attendance, 15 recommitting their lives, and 5 experiencing the gift of speaking in tongues.
Leaders' Milestones
After a decade of difficulties, Pastors Chris and Hayet finally purchased their first family home. This victory was a beautiful reminder of Habakkuk 2:3: "Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay."
Two more members of the youth leadership; Amy and Franklyn followed suit, achieving the significant milestone of homeownership.
Youth service
The youth service flourished this year, taking place twice. The summer event featured Daisy and William as captivating hosts, Anna-Jo's vibrant worship leading, Zamira's debut song, Gabriella's impactful offering talk, and Rebecca Tate's inspiring message.
The Christmas service, led by anchors, Michaela and Daisy, offering by Mia, worship led by Anna-Jo and Word by Kezia with closing by Carlien and Melvin, provided a joyful closing to the year.
Liz's wedding was a joyous occasion filled with love and laughter. Although her going to join her husband means we will miss her leadership on the youth team, we are very grateful for all she poured into the youth ministry and wish her happiness in this new chapter.
By Pastor Hayet Ekeleme

I am grateful and praise God for the invaluable contributions of Mercy, Olga, Sandra and Darius who translated our classes to Spanish.
The TLC team demonstrated the love of God as they stood with, ministered to and supported 8 harvesters and their families whose loved ones had been called home to glory (5 in the UK and 3 overseas). Whilst not denying the pain of their loss, we witnessed harvesters celebrating the lives lived and the impact, legacy and blessing left to the next generation. TLC continues to offer support to Harvesters going through difficulties with their health as and when needed.
membership class of 2023 saw a The significant rise in numbers from Harvest’s Latino community as we welcomed precious people from Venezuela, Guatemala and Mexico into our community. It was a joy to see the Lord adding entire households from these nations to the Harvest family.
In he month of September, we had the privilege of baptising 11 precious members of Harvest, including 6 from our youth church, the youngest being only 12 years old! The atmosphere in the service was charged with the presence of God. Joined by their cell leaders, family and friends, each person shared their testimony of salvation before being immersed in the waters of baptism. There was much praise and rejoicing in the auditorium as each one came up out of the water!

Such things are a huge statement in the spirit and a demonstration of God’s outstretched hand to a world that desperately needs His touch!
The M16 revivalists’ conference was an awesome time of impartation in the presence of God. The input of Harvesters helped to make the conference a massive success. Harvest became the hub where evangelists from M16, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and many more gathered to impart a fresh anointing to God’s people. Evangelist Kristian Lythe (M16) and Ian McDowell (Tough Talk) opened the conference with powerful testimonies of what God was doing in different nations around the world.
Around 400 delegates attended from the 4 corners of the UK. There was a tangible manifestation of the presence of the Holy Spirit on Saturday morning as Kristian and the team laid hands on attendees to receive a fresh anointing of fire.
Rekindled and refueled delegates were split into teams and followed their team leaders to take the good news of the gospel and love of Jesus to several locations all over London and beyond.
There were 227 decisions on the streets with hundreds of people receiving prayer, thousands of conversations had and a box loads of tracts shared. PP commented “Such things are a huge statement in the spirit and a demonstration of God’s outstretched hand to a world that desperately needs His touch!”

“Each speaker brought a specially prepared word to equip us for our year of Impartation. The hunger, expectation and the draw on the anointing was palpable throughout.”
Impartation conference was exceptional. The Each speaker brought a specially prepared word to equip us for our year of Impartation. The hunger, expectation and the draw on the anointing was palpable throughout.
His compassion and His presence with him. He encouraged us to believe for the kind of impartation which leads to God’s visitation which in turn leads to His habitation.
Dr Jerry Savelle, God’s Favour general, opened the conference on Friday evening. He shared on being fruitful and the need for the favour of God in these last days. He urged us to expect God’s favour wherever we go, and to become highly developed in walking in favour by believing and declaring favour daily, until we reach a sphere of influence where we are carriers of the favour of God.
Rev Bruce Atkinson followed on Saturday with a potent teaching on how the Holy Spirit leads us by impartation and imparts to our hearts to transform us into the image of Christ. Impartation comes from being in the presence of God, and from the different ministries we receive from.
He taught from Exodus 33 on how Moses was transformed by impartation as he experienced God’s goodness, His name, His grace,
Evangelist Silas Lazaar concluded on
Sunday with a powerful teaching on the manifestation of the glory of God. The way he built on the previous day’s message was remarkable right down to using the same scripture in Exodus 33!
There was a strong anointing and conviction in the atmosphere as Evangelist Lazaar shared his personal testimony. He urged us to become like Moses, who learnt to have just one desire – the presence of God. The glory of God. He reminded us that we are created for relationship and God wants to see us every day. The conference ended with the laying on of hands for all those who were ready to receive.

EVANGELISM COMMUNITY & OUTREACH
2023, we imparted the love During and power of God to the lives of many.
Souls were saved and lives were rededicated as we worked in partnership with great ministries like the M16 Revival team led by Kristian Lythe, CFAN/Daniel Kolenda, BGEA – Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Trafalgar outreach/Walking like Jesus – Daniel Chand as well as Brent churches Joint Evangelism team.
Even some of our children joined us in sharing the gospel after the Children’s Evangelism Day training.
The Cafe connect team provided excellent welcome to guests and visitors at Harvest and to those who join online. The Café connect team help new people to find and join cells and give support to those in need through weekly calls via the Love Harvest Call team and also through prayer.
We are delighted to now be translating our weekly 11am services into Spanish. Thanks to the commitment of our translators, we are reaching a brand new Hispanic community
A massive thank you to all the teams at Harvest, who continue to work tirelessly to bring souls into the Kingdom:
1.Soup Kitchen – Led by Rhoda Richman 2.Street Evangelism – Led Helen Menkiti 3.Spirit Encounter – Led by Simone Cable 4.Treasure Hunt/Prophetic Evangelism – Led by Pearl Matthews
5.Church on Wheels – Led by Charlotte Ntiamoah
6.Food Pantry – Led by Jessie Amui
- CLOJ - Led by Jessie Amui
I thank God for the wonderful partnerships formed and the fantastic people in the various teams that I have been privileged to serve with – the Lord remember you all for good (Nehemiah 5:19).

“ we purchased over 200 hampers and served as a hub for churches & organisations”
In 2023 our community outreach ministries grew from strength to strength despite challenges faced.
We have also had the blessing of having some Harvesters speak the languages, e.g. Polish and French, which has helped to build strong relationships and spread the gospel.
Our soup kitchen continued to send out food to the community through our partnership with St Catherine’s church in Harlesden who collect cooked meals to feed people in their facilities. The ministry has regularly served close to 100 families every fortnight. It has however lost its main food supplier resulting in a cutback to the number of families we support to less than 20% on the previous year.
Positively we have seen an increase in the number of people we serve with the Spanish community joining.
Partnering up with the evangelism team has allowed us witness to the homeless and bring the gospel to them. We are seeing some of our homeless people at church services on Sundays as a result of this.
Christmas Lunch on Jesus (CLOJ) was equally fulfilling. We purchased over 200 hampers and served as a hub for churches and organisations. We made deliveries to 113 homes. Recipients were so grateful for the gift of the hamper.

MATTHEW & BECKY MURRAY
We had the pleasure of having Matthew and Becky Murray minister at Harvest
Becky Murray is the founder of the Dignity Project and One By One, a non-profit organisation that runs two children’s homes— one in Kenya and the other in Pakistan—as well as a widows’ programme in Sri Lanka. Becky’s life was transformed in 2006 when a
young girl she bought a pair of shoes for on the streets of Sierra Leone assumed she wanted sexual favours in return. This horrifying and lifedefining encounter, which shocked Becky to the core, sparked the formation of One By One and later, the Dignity Project.
Becky runs One By One with her husband, Matthew Murray, and they have one son, Josiah

MINISTERING
IN THE NATIONS
astor P and PJ continued to minister in the nations of the world, bringing harvesters with them to impact lives and P regions with the glory of God
Four Continents In One Year
Pastor P ministered on four different continents in 2024 alone! He was a main speaker at the annual conference of one of the biggest churches in the Russian speaking world in July. Whilst in Armenia, he brought a powerful message to the 5,000 strong conference and then ministered prophetically to hundreds of pastors and leaders in a special meeting. Lives were forever transformed and destinies impacted for the glory of God.
Pastor P travelled to the US five times in 2023 to preach at Prophet Nana’s conference in Houston and to help with the work of Whole Heart Ministries. He ministered in central Florida in April at Free To Succeed and then at two churches. In September and November, he was used by God in south Florida through Free To Be Me and ministering in local churches.
20
“Lives were forever transformed and destinies impacted for the glory of God.”
In September, PP ministered at a church conference in Cyprus, bringing a fresh move of God’s Spirit. Joined by Temitayo, the church was deeply impacted. December saw Pastor P leading a team of seven harvesters to the Mara in Kenya.
It was 15 years ago when PP first ministered to the Masai people in Kenya. The Lord used him to spark a new move of God’s Spirit which resulted in the multiplication of not just souls saved but also churches planted. Known to the Masai people as the prophet who brought fire, PP returned to the region in December with a team of harvesters. Souls were saved, bodies were healed, prophecies released and lives transformed.
Restoration In The Nations
The Lord instructed PJ to become even more focused on the USA during 2023. She travelled to America on eight separate occasions, ministering in major conferences and at churches. In April, together with PP and the Whole Heart Ministries team, PJ hosted Free To Succeed in the UK and Florida, as well as Free To Be Me for children and adults in London and Miami. Several harvesters joined PJ and PP on these trips including Terry Jackson, Tobi Balogun, and Nana Anaman.
In March, PJ went back to Ghana to minister at Potter’s City and then in Kumasi. A major highlight of this trip was a morning spent with 200 children between the ages of 4 and 16 years. Eyes tightly closed, these young people stood for an hour with their hands raised receiving an impartation of the unconditional love of the Lord.
21
GIVING TO GOD’S PEOPLE
It is a great joy for us to be able to partner financially with many amazing ministries around the world.
TEAMS – Uganda
TEAMS (The East African Missionary Society) is now 22 years old and has definitely “come of age”!
During this time, they have spread the word of God to countless people, helped teach hundreds to read and write English; taught many a Skill-for-life in their vocational training centre; supported more than 30 orphans through their education until adulthood; ministered in many prisons and hospitals and built and continue to run a community borehole. These successes and many other beneficial programmes have only been possible due to the generosity and loyal support of willing supporters like Harvest. Projects include:
Education: More than 30 orphans in Northern Uganda have passed through their care. TEAMS pays school fees for such children and contributes to their upkeep, paying for school items with an allowance towards food, soap and other essentials.
Sewing: Now in its 11th year, the two-year part time course includes practical and theory with further English and Health related lessons. For four years, students have sat Uganda’s National Department of Industrial Training exams and have had some great results.
There are very few opportunities for women to learn a skill in Northern Uganda and they are frequently undervalued.
22
Health: TEAMS provides rural communities with basic health education through training programmes. The training has enabled some of the locals to use their qualifications to pursue higher education in pharmacy and to qualify as clinical officers.
At a council meeting in Corby, Cllr Lawal was reinstated by Leader of the Council. Harvest supports The Christian Legal Centre, to help safeguard the freedom of Christians to live and speak for Jesus Christ.
AKWO
Supporting Persecuted Christians in the UK
The Christian Legal Centre provides legal support to those who are persecuted for taking a stand for Jesus and their Christian truth.
It is crucial that individuals can express their beliefs without fear of career ruin or unjust punishment, especially when they do so respectfully and without inciting hatred or violence.
King Lawal is the latest to have his life torn apart. The Christian councillor’s ordeal began when he shared a tweet expressing the Christian and biblical position on LGBT pride events – beliefs which are legally protected and shared by millions of individuals, both Christians and nonChristians, across the UK. Regrettably, he was swiftly suspended by the Conservative Party pending an investigation, removed from multiple trustee positions, and even faced warnings of potential police investigation for alleged 'hate crimes.'
To make matters worse, a local authority demanded that he resign from his own business or risk losing a substantial council contract. Lawal joins the ranks of an increasing number of Christians who have faced severe repercussions for expressing their views.
Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, Cllr Lawal instructed lawyers to prepare legal action alleging multiple violations of his rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
Harvest has been a longtime friend and supporter of Ampiah Kwofi World Outreach. Rev Ampiah Kwofi leads this ministry which is committed to transforming lives in Ghana and beyond.
AKWO has taken the gospel via means of crusades to many African countries. Many who are afflicted with various ailments are healed and delivered from demonic oppressions during these crusades. It also trains and empowers church leaders to be mighty men of God. Harvest supports the great work AKWO is doing.
Saints In Parliament
For some people, to consider Prayer and Parliament as having any connection does not seem to be possible. Yet, it is part of the structure of Parliamentary procedures and has been for many years.
2023 was a year marked with some real prayer breakthroughs. Just recently, a friend who has perused our regular notes taken of our Prayer for Parliament (PfP) meetings, commented that there have been many answers to prayer. Fiona Bruce MP was appointed as the Prime Minister’s Envoy for the Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) in December 2020. Fiona does not hold back the fact that she is a Christian. She has been as diligent with her work in the PM’s Envoy as she is with the work relating to her constituency.
23
To make sure that there is always a PM’s Envoy for FoRB, instead of leaving it as a personal appointment, Fiona took steps to make sure that this position was put on the statutes so that whichever party came to power there would have to be a PM’s appointment for an Envoy for FoRB. In the
natural, it would have been extremely unlikely that Fiona would have managed to get such a Bill on to the statutes. We praise God that He made the way! Harvest supports the work June Freudenberg is doing in parliament via monthly donations.
continue to grow rapidly, and collectively have about 50,000 members, in almost 900 branches, in 14 countries.
Rhema also opened 4 new nursery schools in Malawi in February with 374 children already in attendance.
The ministry also has 10 schools, 2 leadership training centres, 2 medical clinics, a prisons ministry, children’s ministry, Rhema fellowships on 15 university campuses, and The Gladys Robinson Project, a programme to feed and look after the elderly, which currently looks after thousands of people in 23 locations, in 9 countries.
The Rhema Ministry – Taking Territories
Established 7 years ago in Liberia, Rhema Ministry was founded by Ewan Denny.
From that opening branch in Liberia, West Africa, there are 355 branches in 34 countries, and it has become a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) Added to that, Rhema Bible Churches
They have also established businesses to generate profits to finance projects, and also to finance the Gospel outreach that we do. Ewan shared: “I could never imagine that in 7 years, so much could be accomplished. I have witnessed the goodness and favour of God as I follow His lead. Looking ahead, I am excited at what will be accomplished. Today, we are feeding, clothing, and educating hundreds of orphans. Tomorrow we will do that for thousands.
Today we have 2 medical centres, tomorrow we will have 20. I speak this growth. I anticipate this growth. And I plan for it. As the Lord, the Creator of the universe is on my side, there is nothing that I cannot do!”
Harvest is delighted to be a part of what the Lord is doing through Ewan Denny by sowing monthly into this ministry.
24
India – Changing lives & shaping destines
Countless reports of God’s move in India continue to reach us every month from Pastor Paul Nadham. In one of his reports, Paul Nadham shared a heart-breaking incident of ethnic violence in India’s Northeastern state of Manipur. Hundreds of people were injured, killed and thousands displaced. Such violence breeds atrocities like rape, molestations and torture. Paul Nadham dispatched a team to the area
willing to risk their lives to help the vulnerable, like children and pregnant women. It was also an opportunity to share the gospel.
Harvest contributed finanacially to help the victims. Harvest also supports Premswaroop Ministries, led by Paul Nadham monthly. It has enabled them to spread the gospel, train pastors, provide for widows, feed the poor, organise crusades, plant churches and more! Below are some of their achievements in 2023 alone:
2,290 Patients who received medical supplies
121,608 Number of people reached with gospel
123,000 Number of gospel tracts distributed
2,070 Villages reached with the gospel
3 Number of motor bikes given
199 Number of Bible school graduates
601
Number of people who received food & groceries
289 Number of women trained through sewing centres
80 Number of people receiving adult education
295
Number of blankets distributed
85
Number of churches planted
25
od continues to use Harvest to reach thousands of people in over G 70 countries around the world with His word through our weekly podcasts and social media platforms.
Last year saw an increase in the number of people dowloading our podcasts from 38,000 to more than 55,000!
Our gratitude to Fresia from the US, whose advice and direction helped the media team improve on the quality of sound and video recording.
It is wonderful to see the gospel reach the ends of the earth through social media. We give glory to God for lives being transformed.
There was also a significant rise of YouTube views from 51,000 to 61,000.
Below are some of our achievements in numbers:
37K Podcast visits
55.1K Podcast downloads

HONOURING VOLUNTEERS
special Christmas party was held on Wednesday 20 December 2023 to honour Aour volunteers and their spouses as an appreciation of their hard work and dedication displayed throughout the year. As the volunteer guests arrived, a delicious sorrel punch was on offer with a little gift for the first 50 guests. The evening continued with a delicious two course meal, followed
by lots of fun and laughter with games and a quiz led by Pastor Hayet.
Our volunteers wore wonderful Christmasy outfits and the LTC was decorated with a beautiful nativity theme. Everyone was excited to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season together.

2023 was Harvest Church’s strongest year yet. A total of £568,400 was brought in through the faithful tithing, giving and sacrificing of all our members. We managed to recoup £62,482 in Gift-aid from the government and distributed £84,954 to other ministries and partners whose work we support.
Many Harvesters have made the decision to be tithers and to live by their giving. Instead of trying to get by the world’s way, they are trusting God and prospering. Testimonies of promotions, bonuses, extended hours opportunities, business successes and start-ups have abounded yet again.
We have managed to pay off 20% of our mortgage on The Grange, our 50% owned leasehold building in Neasden, a superb victory purchase for the ministry. Our generous givers enabled us to distribute 205 ‘Christmas Lunch on Jesus’ hampers to some of the poorest families in our borough and to support some of our neediest asylum seekers with one-off pastoral care gifts of £50 each. We will continue to give out as a ministry into the lives of God’s people as best we can and look forward to plenty of glorious shining financially in 2024.
Paul Naughton Pastor.

big thank you to all the wonderful volunteers and helpers at Harvest. Your dedication and hard work is a great blessing to the ministry. A May the Lord reward you. It is said of many Churches that 20% of the people do 80% of the volunteering. We are delighted to say that virtually the opposite is true in Harvest. God bless you!
