You know, there is a very special group of people. I want to introduce you to. They are a group of people

0:06.6

who are passionate about the gospel of Jesus Christ being proclaimed in this nation and beyond. Without them,

0:14.2

Harvest Ministries could not even exist. We call them Harvest Partners. There are people who have

0:20.0

chosen to give monthly to harvest to keep the gospel moving forward.

0:24.4

Will you become a harvest partner and help us fulfill the great commission in our lifetime?

But the question on everyone's mind is, what does this mean? Is this just

2:03.9
