2022 Year End Review and 2023 Partnership Opportunity

Western Harvest Ministries 2022 Year End Review

To our blessed partners and friends of Western Harvest Ministries:

We are always very excited to come to you each year during this time of wonderful reflection of just how the Lord has faithfully led our ministry efforts throughout 2022. As you might imagine, this past year was certainly like the previous two years, when our normal way of life and doing things was dramatically changed based on the new direction that our world was being forced to take.

One thing is for sure, as we examine the new way of doing business in the manner that the world and current culture are expecting us to do, we can be totally confident that our Father’s promises are by far, more powerful as we choose to allow them highest priority in every part of our personal lives and ministry.

Over the years as we have faithfully committed to fulfilling the mission that the Lord have given to us; we have learned so much in so many areas. I believe that it is by his divine oversight that he desires to grow our character and to strengthen our resolve as we choose his promises and principles rather than the quicker and easier, more convenient ways of the world. I know that one of his promises for us this year has been:

“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart”. Galatians 6:9

I’ve no doubt that this promise is one you and your family can hang your hats on as well. The enemy is always trying to get us to a place where we are totally overwhelmed and at the point of exhaustion and that’s where he introduces his lies to God’s saints. If we don’t counter or resist that kind of lie and deception it will take root and if not addressed can knock us off the course of our true calling.

As a ministry there are so many things nowadays that are very much needed to impact our world for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It all starts with a deep and sincere desire to recognize that we are his hands, feet and voice to this world. We must be 100% committed to sharing his message to all that we encounter. His message is one of faith, hope and unconditional love to all that are lost and hurting.

This year has been an incredible year to watch how the Lord has enlarged our territory and re-established a few of our platforms for his glory. He also has provided all of you that are reading this report, as faithful partners that have been key in riding with us on this journey. Our journey may sometimes look unique in nature, but it has never changed from the very beginning.

Our key mission is to share the gospel and to make disciples who will then go on and impact many lives as they discover the true blessings of following the Biblical blueprint of advancing the Lord’s Kingdom. Many of you know that we do focus on the western lifestyle and community simply because that’s where the Lord originally found me and my family when he called us to follow him. He has so graciously blessed our resources in other industries such as both media and my professional sports career. Each of those have been instrumental in helping us to get his message out to a broader base.

I can surely say that serving the Lord is an amazing adventure and that no matter what challenges the enemy tries to use against us, we have seen firsthand the rewards of lives being changed and families being restored as a direct result of proclaiming God’s powerful word and simple steps of salvation to all those that we were able to encounter through our ministry outreaches in 2022.

In closing, we would like to thank you for sending us out and for covering us in faithful prayers as we sought to evangelize our world and to be a part of this great end-times harvest of souls. We also would like to ask you to consider continuing your financial support in 2023 as we continue to ride on course and allow the Lord to guide us in all our ways.

I am also a Lutheran Minister, and pastor a tiny congregation between Bisbee & Noco, AZ. God’s Peace Be With You This Day, Brother!”
