HARVEST INTERNATIONAL INC
Harvest International, Inc. Big Stone Gap, Virginia
Patton and Mary Lynn Franks entered into full-time missions work in 1987 after 14 years of pastoral experience. Missions has taken them into over 20 countries. In 2006 their ministry made inroads into Asia as the Franks’ traveled to India and began distributing teaching materials and books in China. In 2007 their ministry expanded into Africa for the first time and they anxiously anticipate the growth of Harvest International in Rwanda, Uganda, and wherever the Holy Spirit is pleased to take them!
The work has involved medical clinics, feeding projects and other humanitarian programs as well as evangelistic campaigns and training seminars for workers and families.
The purpose has always been to introduce the unbeliever to Christ, encourage the believer through discipleship and training, equipment and support for the worker.
Harvest International, Inc. which was founded in 1991 to facilitate these efforts, continues with a commitment to share the message of hope and life found only in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and revealed only in the Gospel of Christ as declared in the Bible as God’s Word for the world.
