*While this target figure is significantly higher than previous years, there is already around $47K in seed money in the Harvest fund from previous years. This brings our goal to about $125,000 in new giving.
Projects
Projects are funded in order of listing.
Funding Level: $9,400
The Dockerys are part of a solid gospel preaching church in the heart of urban Cleveland. They have had several incidents of vandalism, and fencing would allow them to properly care for church vehicles and other church property.
Funding Level: $14,000
Asia Biblical Theological Seminary is strategically positioned to provide theological education for many spiritually antagonistic and war-torn countries in Asia. This project will help provide recording equipment and cameras for producing excellent and easily accessible classroom presentations for both
in-person and virtual instruction.

Karen Blumenstock has launched “Hard to Hope” – a ministry that seeks to address the physical and spiritual health of low-income Thai women. The project will help cover the cost of gym equipment rental and the cost of Karen’s Crossfit certification training.

Ministry leaders in this area are young, passionate followers of Christ with very little biblical education or training. The project would cover the cost of four modules – including site rental, meals, written and verbal translations, printed materials, in-country transportation and lodging.
Funding Level: $8,800
The Kaifa Network’s partner schools have teachers who are dedicated to Christ. But they lack the credentials and training to teach with a distinctively Christian worldview.

Funding Level: $40,000
In response to changing camp dynamics, Scioto is seeking to add lodging options that are designed for families and adult ministry. This project would cover the framing cost of a two bedroom cottage – including foundation, septic, floors, walls, windows, doors, and roof.

Women at Risk International (WAR) seeks to bring the hope of the gospel to vulnerable and trafficked women across the globe.

Funding Level: $50,000

Emerge Recovery is a faith-based organization in Yellow Springs that helps men who are caught in patterns of substance abuse and addiction.

Funding Level: $2,500
