 To the editor:Harvest of
Talents for World Hunger celebrated the 37th Harvest with grateful
hearts for God’s faithfulness!
Though most Harvest events were cancelled this year, due to Covid-19
restrictions, Harvest wasn’t cancelled! Technology talents, terrific
teamwork, and many prayers helped reimagine hosting opportunities to
enable helping with hunger relief.
Various Harvest activities went online, and you signed on. We
launched ‘Harvest from Home’, and you responded. Our familiar H.o.T.
soup and breakfast rolls were offered with prepaid orders, and you
ordered. We had an outdoor gourmet dessert tent, and you came. You
rounded up your checks for your online shop orders, said ‘keep the
change’, came back with a donation, and turned in lots and lots of
coins in your blue IDES fish banks. Assisted-living residents took
up offerings, shop-owners gave a portion of sales for a featured
item, and children made and sold custom bracelets. We received
donations of handmade items and monetary gifts from across the
nation, and Harvest came full circle with handcrafts donated from
the mission field.
[to top of second column in this letter] |
With hunger needs greater than ever before in our
Harvest history, your gifts of time, talents, prayers, and resources
have been a very rich Blessing. You did not grow weary of doing
good, and God has blessed us beyond what we hoped or even imagined.
On behalf of the Harvest Ministry Team and those who will receive
the 388,527 meals you have provided in Jesus’ name through the 2020
Harvest offering of $116,558 ~ (Total for 37 years: $2,557,054.66)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
In the midst of all that’s been going on, you responded to hunger
needs and helped make this a record year when we least expected it!
Harvest Blessings,
Carolyn Neal
Chairperson, Harvest Ministry Team
