THE MISSION
It is our mission to fulfill the Great Commission by reaching the unchurched and unreached, and by empowering leaders in relevant evangelism and discipleship that transforms lives and communities one person and one family at a time.
THE STRATEGY
To accomplish our mission, we:
-
Pray
Establishing prayer initiatives in cities, uniting followers of Christ and focusing on the One who must lead any effort for change.
-
Network
Developing partnerships between suburban and urban Christians and churches.
-
Empower
Empowering children, youth and families with faith, education, work ethic, family responsibility and moral values to insure hope for tomorrow.
-
Equip
Equipping existing and emerging leaders in cities to implement relevant strategies that will reach the urban unchurched with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and empower urban citizens toward their destinies.
-
Serve
Leading in strategic outreach which gives urban citizens in target communities the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel.
-
Engage
Engaging students in short-term mission projects, providing opportunities for life-change while serving long-term strategies in urban communities.
-
Share Ownership
Developing local leadership teams in target communities for growth, ownership, and sustainability of vision.
What’s most important is bridging the inner city and its people to the Lord and His people. It’s really as simple – and as powerful – as that. This kind of networking is empowering many people in the inner city and bringing the light in to the darkest places in our nation. As we see the continued move of immigrants toward urban areas and the growth of cities even through difficult times, we are certain we’re right where we need to be to bring people hope, healing and salvation.
MINISTRY METHODS
For more than two decades, Urban Harvest has been reaching out in some of the most desperate communities in our nation. The methods God has taught us are proven over time and came from much prayer, and more than a few tough years. To read more about the methods used by UHM, read “What we do at UHM” below.
