ABOUT JUDEA HOPE

INTRODUCTION

Judea Harvest was established in April 1999 and celebrates 12 years of ministry this year (2011). The mission of Judea Harvest is to mobilize, equip and resource labourers to transform the nations of Africa. Tents are made available to teams of labourers that form part of a satellite in a geographical area. A satellite is a group of like-minded Christian Churches of any denomination that take responsibility to transform their own Judea-area.

It is Judea Harvest’s submission that the Church is a major role-player in creating the right climate for sustainable peace, stability and development in Southern Africa. According to Johnstone in Operation World, the 11 countries of Southern Africa had a total population of 118 million people in 2000, and now stand at 137 million. The economy of Africa has stagnated for the last 40 years and therefore the people of Africa remained behind in the development race of this world.

Africa is plagued by many problems, such as the HIV/AIDS pandemic, poverty, corruption even in governments, civil wars, natural disasters like droughts and floods, political instability and diseases such as malaria and cholera. Judea Harvest believes that the Church has the answer for many of Africa’s problems. Although 48% of all African people profess to be Christian, most are nominal Christians. Judea Harvest has found that the traditional African religions with many of the demonic activities still play a key role in the lives of many African people, and hence these traditional religions still have a significant influence in their lives. Churches and individual Christians should take ownership for what is happening in their respective communities. Evangelism and discipleship will act as a catalyst against crime and sin in the community.

Two years ago Judea Harvest embarked on various community upliftment and development programs. With these programs we aim to meet some of the dire needs in our communities.  Included is some example of our projects. We invite you to partner with us and make a difference in South Africa.

Sincerely,

Dr. Louis Blom
