It was an evening of praise, heart-touching stories, information and insights into one of the current news-making locations on the globe. Russian Harvest Ministries, founded by Peter and Jill Mehl over 20 years ago, is reaching out to touch the lives of people in Crimea, Ukraine, Belorussia, Moldova and Romania. At the World Missions Banquet on April 24 at Fargo’s Hilton Garden Inn, Russian Harvest Ministries staff reported their profound impact in this region, bringing much-needed food packets and clothing to desperate families, training young adults from many nations in evangelism ministry, and sharing a message of hope and peace with everyone they encounter. “We go village to village, person to person, heart to heart,” said Mehl. Plans for the immediate future include printing a million gospel tracts and holding over 450 crusades in the region. “In spite of the political situation, we want to continue to reach out with boldness and a touch from heaven to people who are in need,” Mehl affirmed.

Individuals with a “pioneering spirit” who would like to help support this life-changing ministry are asked to connect with Russian Harvest Ministries, P.O. Box 9621, Fargo, ND 58106.
