Reaching the World in our City

New York City is a very exciting place, with so much to do and so much to offer. With a metropolitan population of almost 20 million, it is the largest city in the United States, fourth largest in the world. Practically every culture and language is represented in this, the most diverse city you can find anywhere.

This means that the harvest surely is ripe in New York City. Team evangelism has brought hundreds of souls to Christ in the past years. We at Urban Harvest Ministries are reaching into the South Bronx community and into our entire city to touch the lives of children, youth, the homeless, single-mothers, college students, adults, and unreached people groups with the loving gospel. Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field" (Matthew 9:38).

Will you be one of those workers in His harvest?
