Joining Together in Unity to Feed NM Kids
In honor of Feed NM Kids Day on November 14, local leaders conducted a press conference at the APS Food and Nutrition Building to bring awareness of childhood hunger in New Mexico. It was a unique opportunity to witness a move of unity in our city through a diverse group of leaders, including local pastors,…
Love is an Open Door: A Look at the Bair Foundation
If you’ve been a part of Harvest for any length of time, you’ve likely heard Pastor Jason’s call to Love Your City. As the church body, we take this call to heart in a myriad of ways. “Caring for orphans and widows in their distress,” as we are called to do in James 1:27, should be…
Arise, My Darling, My Beautiful One, Come Away With Me to the Beloved Christmas Dinner
Ladies, have you ever asked yourself, “Will I always be looking for a place to belong? Will I ever find a group of people who will love me for who I am? How hard does it have to be to find a friend or two?” I’ve asked myself these questions before. As women, it seems…

While the worship team lead the congregation in a song about healing, I noticed I was able to sing along without coughing, which made my heart rejoice with joy. When the music was over and I realized the…
Trunk-or-Treat 2018: Another Opportunity to Let Our Light Shine
I can’t speak for everyone who served at Trunk-or-Treat, but I know I certainly had the best time face-painting, and sometimes hand-painting, the little ones. Seeing their faces light up after watching their chosen cupcake or pumpkin dreams come to life made all our hard work pay off. Not only did I get to play…
A Perilous City on the Road to Damascus
After years of persecuting Christians, there is no doubt that Paul was considered an infamous terrorist of his time, but he was transformed on the road to Damascus. Although the Bible never mentions if anyone prayed for Paul, I wouldn’t be surprised if the very Christians he persecuted exchanged their fear for faith in prayer…
