It’s a Good Question: Will Your Church Support Harvest USA?

Harvest USA depends on church support to continue bringing the clarity and hope of God’s Word to people struggling with matters of sexual sin and confusion. It’s important work—but do you know how widespread the need for this ministry really is?

Let me ask you a few straightforward questions. I hope your answers might stir your heart and motivate you to help us reach more people by becoming an advocate for Harvest USA within your church and friendship groups.

1. When was the last time your church offered an adult Sunday school class on faithful biblical sexuality?

There’s a vast spiritual need for people to understand biblical sexuality. If churches don’t teach the truth, the world will catechize believers with its lies. And yet churches rarely offer Christian education classes about God’s plan for sexuality and gender—adults need this education, too.

2. Does your church have any resources to help parents teach their children—in elementary or high school—what God’s Word says about gender and sexuality?

I hope it does. But if your church needs help in this area, our website has free resources for this very purpose—to help parents equip their sons and daughters to understand what it means to be a boy or girl created in God’s image.

3. Does your church offer compassionate counsel and support for wives facing the heartbreak of their husbands’ sexual sin?

Sadly, spouses are often forgotten, despite dealing with a deep sense of betrayal, and need the loving support of their church family to help them on their journey. Again, Harvest USA can help. Just last month, we launched a new curriculum for hurting wives: Hope in Your Heartbreak: First Steps for Sexually Betrayed Wives.

4. If a teenager in your church has embraced an LGBTQ+ identity, how will your church respond? Are there support groups to help families deal with the confusion and pain?

Again, many church leaders are ill-equipped to respond when this happens. But Harvest USA has specific resources to help families understand these issues of gender and sexuality and to point them to God’s steady faithfulness.

5. How can your church help men and women who wrestle with the guilt and shame of past promiscuity or sexual confusion? How can you offer gospel-infused hope?

There are men and women in every church who are ashamed or afraid to share their painful brokenness. But Jesus gives us answers for the most desperate situations.

Pastors, parents, Sunday school teachers, and small group leaders need biblically-based tools and resources to provide godly wisdom and truth suffused with Christ’s mercy and compassion. Harvest USA produces biblical resources specifically for these issues, and most of them are free!

Will Your Church Support Harvest USA?

Every gift helps our staff continue to disciple individuals, teach seminars, and speak at conferences so churches and families gain greater biblical clarity amid the current confusion about sexuality and gender.

Each gift of church support enables men and women to access our discipleship group materials, articles, blog posts, and videos. Your gifts help desperate people find God’s truth—pointing them to Christ, who can provide the healing they need to overcome sexual brokenness.

So, let me ask you one more question: “Will you be our advocate at your church?” I hope so.

If you are on your church’s missions committee or know those in leadership, please advocate for us. Write a note or call them—encouraging them to include Harvest USA in your church’s missions’ budget. Could they designate $50–$100 monthly to support Harvest USA?

We would be glad to speak with your church leadership or missions committee (by phone or via Zoom) to answer any questions they might have. Contact me at [email protected].
