Things may have seemed to go quiet for Harvest for Kids now that winter has settled in, but the planning for our 2012 World Record event in Saskatchewan continues to roll along as contacts and preparations are being made. In addition to that, we are always trying to brainstorm and come up with new and innovative ideas for generating financial support for our camping programs in the developing world through agricultural projects both in North America and overseas.

If you’re looking to get involved and support our ministry during this holiday season, we have many ways you can do so, just visit our Projects page. Our parent organization, Children’s Camps International, also has many ways you can support the ministry through Gift Giving.

Christmas is a great time to enjoy the fellowship of friends and family, but let us not forget those less fortunate than us.
“Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you.” ~Mother Teresa

On behalf of Harvest for Kids and Children’s Camps International, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
May God bless you and your families.

Celebrate the Harvest

September 5th was definitely a day of celebration as farmers north of Saskatoon came together to harvest a 1/4 section of canola, all in support of Harvest for Kids.

This past winter, a vision was put before a group of farmers; To help children around the world receive the hope they deserve through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

This led to preparations of bringing awareness and excitement about Harvest for Kids to new territory by donating their crop for the cause.

A total of 15 combines harvested the field designated to Harvest for Kids all as part of a launch to bring an even greater harvest to the area. This is just one of a few crops that the group will be harvesting this year. Plans are well underway to set a new world record in 2012 for the most combines harvesting a field.

I would like to personally thank all of the farmers for their hard work. We look forward to greater things to come. Praise the Lord!

You can see more photos of the event on the Harvest for Kids Saskatchewan page.

Be Blessed!
