“Urban Harvest Ministries has been used of God to bring new life to our church and our city: To our church by challenging and training me and our members to take the Gospel to the streets through prayer and proclamation; and to our city by their leadership and ministry that crosses cultural, ethnic and denominational boundaries. They are doers as well as dreamers of God’s vision for the city.”
Pastor Tim Terhune, Faith Bible Church, Livonia
“We’ve seen people opening their doors in areas where we weren’t able to get in their doors before. The concentration has been on Jesus and His delivering power! Hope for the City is a blessing to Detroit and a blessing to our church. It’s a blessing from the Lord!”
Pastor Harvey Presberry, Canfield Church of God, East Detroit
“To have a ministry come alongside of us who understands the things we go through and the struggles and challenges that we face every day and be there to hold our arms up in the middle of the battle is just awesome. It’s something we have not had in the past. It is priceless.”
Pastor Patti Marks, Metro Life Church and Global Arts Position, Detroit
“While we were doing outreach in a park, a pastor stopped and asked me, ‘Are you crazy? Do you know where you’re at? Do you realize how much blood has run in this park?’ I said, ‘That may be so, but we’re getting ready to change that. It’s going to be the blood of Jesus to flow in this park now.’ That week, 11 young men received Christ!”
Elder Leslie Matthews, Triumphant Life Christian Church, Highland Park
“We can no longer stay within the four walls of our churches and expect to reach our community. We have to go to them, because we have the greatest message and the greatest thing of all – Jesus Christ!”
Pastor Michael Haley, Ferndale Assembly of God
“We have also benefited as Pastor Tom and his family have shared with our church family proven strategies to reaching the lost and our communities. Their approach to ministry is a personal one which translates to any culture and community. We have learned methods of outreach and approaches to prayer which we have implemented into our church culture. Genuine partnership takes place when we share resources and experiences. The Grassano’s haven’t simply taken our support with gratitude. They have also invested in our church family on many occasions. We continue to be grateful for the opportunity to partner with this wonderful family and look forward to hearing all the amazing ways God uses them for His Kingdom!”
Pastor Les Woodard, Rincon Church of God
“Urban Harvest Ministries is the meaning and example of how you truly serve the Lord. Dr. Tom Grassano planted Harvest Church to serve as a hospital for all who needed healing and wanted new life. Harvest Church gave me life, meaning, and purpose. One of the best ways you can love God is by serving others and I believe UHM is truly an example of that.”
William, Harvest Church, South Bronx
