Christian Global Outreach Ministries: Sharing Hope Beyond Borders
The Gospel has no borders. Neither does our call to serve.
Urban Harvest Ministries is committed to sharing the hope of Jesus Christ beyond our local communities. Through Christian global outreach, we work alongside local Christian leaders and ministry partners in the United States and around the world to support Gospel outreach, discipleship, leadership development, and practical community service.
Our approach goes beyond mission trips. We believe meaningful ministry grows through lasting relationships, local leadership, prayer, and a shared commitment to serving others in the name of Jesus Christ.
Through Go-Mission, the international arm of Urban Harvest Ministries, we partner with local leaders to encourage believers, strengthen communities, and support ministry efforts that continue long after a visiting team returns home.
Whether you want to learn about our global ministry, support Christian missions, or discover ways to serve, there are meaningful opportunities to take part.
How Our Christian Global Outreach Ministries Serve Communities
Our mission is to share the Gospel, help people grow in their faith, and equip believers to carry the message of Jesus Christ into their own communities.
What began with urban ministry in the South Bronx has grown into relationships with ministry leaders and partners across different communities and nations. Today, our outreach brings together several connected areas of service:
Gospel outreach: Sharing the message of Jesus Christ through personal relationships and community-based ministry.
Discipleship: Helping believers grow in their faith, understand Scripture, and follow Christ in everyday life.
Christian leadership development: Mentoring and equipping current and emerging leaders for effective, lasting ministry.
Community outreach and practical service: Working with local partners to address needs through humanitarian projects and community initiatives.
Ministry partnerships: Building relationships with churches and Christian leaders who understand their communities and are committed to serving them.
Each area supports the others. Gospel outreach introduces people to the hope of Christ, while discipleship and leadership development help believers grow and serve others. Practical service also creates opportunities to build trust and demonstrate Christian compassion.
Our Global Ministry Fields
Every community has its own culture, challenges, and opportunities. Our approach to global missions begins with listening, building relationships, and working alongside people who understand the communities they serve.
Urban Harvest Ministries has ministry relationships in Vietnam, Peru, Venezuela, and Myanmar, alongside partnerships in the United States. Each ministry field reflects our wider commitment to sharing the Gospel, encouraging local believers, and responding to community needs.
Vietnam: Practical Support and Community Outreach
In Vietnam’s Central Highlands, Go-Mission works with local leaders in underserved villages. Projects have included clean water systems, sanitation, health and nutrition education, agricultural support, and child sponsorship.
These initiatives respond to practical challenges while building relationships with families and communities. Through this work, we seek to demonstrate Christ’s love and bring hope through both compassionate service and Gospel-centered relationships.

Peru: Discipleship and Christian Leadership Development
In Peru’s Upper Amazon region, we partner with Pastor Julio Sinaragua and other Christian leaders serving communities near the borders of Peru, Colombia, and Brazil.
Their ministry includes church development, children’s discipleship, pastoral training, and christian community outreach. Urban Harvest Ministries has maintained a relationship with Pastor Julio for more than 18 years, supporting leadership development, ministry resources, and ongoing work in the region.
This partnership reflects our belief that sustainable Christian outreach depends on equipping local believers to lead, disciple others, and strengthen their churches.

Venezuela: Supporting Gospel Outreach in Latin America
Venezuela is one of the ministry fields associated with Urban Harvest Ministries. Our commitment to this region reflects our wider vision of sharing the hope of Jesus Christ beyond our local communities.
We recognize that every ministry field has distinct needs and opportunities. For information about current activities or ways to support ministry in Venezuela, please contact our team.

Myanmar: Encouraging Local Christian Leaders
In Myanmar, we partner with Pastor Hung Ling and Go & Send Ministries. Their work includes church ministry, Bible school training, mentoring church planters, care for orphaned children, and humanitarian outreach.
Through this partnership, we seek to encourage local Christian leaders and support their efforts to serve their communities faithfully.
Our commitment is to stand alongside those doing the work on the ground and help strengthen ministry through relationships, prayer, and practical support.

Wind River, Wyoming: Building Relationships Through Service
Christian Global outreach also connects with ministry partnerships closer to home. In Wyoming, Urban Harvest Ministries supports Engaging Hope on the Wind River Reservation through our relationship with Steven and Stacy Bishop.
Their ministry focuses on building community relationships, responding to practical needs, and sharing the love and hope of Jesus Christ. Our involvement includes prayer, mentorship, and encouragement as they serve the community.
This partnership reflects a central principle of our ministry: meaningful outreach grows when people serve alongside one another with humility, compassion, and a long-term commitment.

What Sets Our Approach Apart From Other Christian Missions Organizations?
Christian missions organizations may take different approaches to international outreach. At Urban Harvest Ministries, we place particular importance on local leadership, trusted relationships, and ministry that can continue beyond the involvement of an outside team.
We do not believe effective outreach should depend entirely on visiting missionaries. Instead, we seek to support the people who already understand their communities, encourage their ministry, and help equip them to serve others.
This approach includes:
- Working alongside local Christian leaders who understand their cultural and community context.
- Supporting discipleship and leadership development for ongoing ministry.
- Encouraging practical service that responds to real community needs.
- Building relationships through prayer, trust, and continued communication.
- Helping local believers strengthen their churches and reach others with the Gospel.
Our partnership with Pastor Julio Sinaragua in Peru reflects this commitment. Our relationships in Vietnam and Myanmar also demonstrate the importance of working alongside local leaders rather than treating communities as simply destinations for mission trips.
We believe local Christians are essential participants and leaders in God’s work. Our role is to encourage them, contribute where support is needed, and help strengthen the ministry taking place within their communities.
Great Commission Ministries: Putting Faith Into Action
Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:19–20 to make disciples of all nations remains central to our mission. The Great Commission calls believers to share the Gospel, make disciples, and help others grow in their relationship with Christ.
As a ministry committed to this biblical calling, Urban Harvest Ministries brings together Gospel outreach, discipleship, Christian leadership development, and practical service. These connected efforts help believers move beyond hearing the message to living out their faith and sharing it with others.
Our experience in urban ministry continues to shape how we approach outreach in other communities and nations. We understand that effective ministry involves more than delivering a message. It also requires relationships, a willingness to serve, and a commitment to equipping others for ongoing ministry.
Through mentoring, ministry partnerships, and The Bridge School of Mission, we support the preparation and development of current and emerging Christian leaders.
This is an important part of how we live out the Great Commission: sharing the hope of Jesus Christ while helping equip others to carry that hope into their own communities.
