A sustainable model

The obvious answer is, “in God’s timing” because we need significant funding. But practically, and by faith, we are planning to assemble content and develop the daily app through 2017 and  2018.

Initially it will be a daily phone app, harvest daily, and later a tablet and print magazine, harvest quarterly. It aims to motivate our people to be more involved in missions, either directly or indirectly, as their personal circumstances dictate.

Stories, photos and videos from the mission fields will be the primary content in harvest daily, along with the latest prayer requests, and daily devotionals. Later, harvest quarterly on the tablet and in print will carry feature articles, personal testimonies, the plan of salvation, and Bible stories for children.

We are an avowedly Independent Baptist publication, so content will relate to churches and missionaries of like faith. We are non-political, with editorial content designed only to inform, edify and encourage our people in the work of God. We will neither endorse nor oppose any causes, save that of Jesus Christ, and him crucified (I Corinthians 2:2)

The founder, editor, and publisher is Thomas Liddle, a longtime member of Metropolitan Baptist Church, Sydney, Australia. Harvest is under the doctrinal authority of the church.

Any content of a biblical nature will adhere to Metropolitan Baptist’s statement of faith (see metropolitanbaptist.net.au), with the King James Version of the Bible being our English-language source.

Yes, we plan to build out multi-lingual versions of the daily and quarterly magazine, starting with Spanish and Mandarin.

You can give either individually or as a church, with monthly support (see How you can help).

All contributions for the launch of harvest through this website, or by monthly support cheque from churches and individuals, go directly to Metropolitan Baptist Church, which disburses funds as needed for production purposes.
