WELCOME TO THE HARVEST SUMMER TEAM HUB:

Thank you for your part in Harvest Ministry this summer. I’m looking forward to serving with you. There are a few things we need from every team member who will be joining the ministry this summer:

Prayer Partners – Send at least three people a message to become your prayer partner – have them text PRAY26 to 618-243-7476.
You are welcome to raise support for your ministry, which will be used as an “educational scholarship” and given to you at the end of the summer. Information concerning this option is below.
Important Papers and Background Check: We need a background check for everyone traveling and serving with Harvest Ministry this summer. We will submit your email address and SSN to PRAESIDIUM, and you will receive instructions. Also, please fill these papers out – old style and mail them (or bring them): release form | permission form | info form – MAIL TO: HARVEST, 407 EDWARDSVILLE ROAD, TROY, IL 62294

PRAYER PARTNERS:

Each team member is asked to get three prayer partners—we just need their first name and email address. This is an important aspect of the ministry. Even if you’re not going every week of the summer, we want each person to be included. You can also include your own email address and family members’ email addresses. This will be one great way to stay in touch with what is happening over the summer.

1. Sign up for prayer partners with this link.

3. Text PRAY26 to 618-243-7476.

RAISING SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT

Each team member is invited to help raise money for Harvest Ministry as we travel and serve this summer. This does two things: 1) it helps provide financial support to travel and serve, and 2) it allows others to get behind in ministry in a tangible way. You can share the giving link with friends, family, and home church.

SOCIAL MEDIA:

The purpose of the Harvest Social Media is to connect with kids, share information about ministry events and conferences, encourage ministry leaders and grow the faith in the next generation. We invite each summer team member to participate in liking, sharing, updating and connecting on whichever of the social media sites you love.

Harvest regularly uses Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and probably in that order as far as usage goes. As far as Twitter goes, I typically use t witter.com/timpriceblog and over the course of our ministry together we will be delegating the work of posting and connecting online.

On the leadership development side of things, your social media accounts are directly tied to your witness. Be careful that your online image matches your faith walk. We’re promoting faith in Christ, taking a stand in a culture that is marginalizing Christianity and we making a kingdom difference with every tool at our disposal.
