Partnering with Harvesters Ministries for

Global Church Planting

CHURCH PLANTING – Our vision is to plant 1,000,000 churches by 2030. With incredible focus and guidance from Christ, we are committed to see this come to fruition. As Student Pastors go through the Harvesters training program, they are required to plant at least one new church each year. Our aim is to see healthy churches self-replicating through evangelism and discipleship. We believe the church is the Body of Christ and can meet anywhere, so Harvesters does not provide buildings for church plants.

EVANGELISM – The world is in great need of more evangelists to share the Gospel with people. Harvesters’ Student Pastors are reaching non-believers and expanding the Kingdom of God through evangelism. Harvesters’ students are trained to be loving and strategic evangelists who seek to connect new believers into church networks so they can become Christlike disciples, and not merely converts.

PASTORAL TRAINING – Pastoral training is one of the greatest needs in the world of missions today. However, adequate training is not always accessible to those who need it most. Our training program is uniquely available to those who could not normally overcome financial, language, or other practical barriers. We provide a comprehensive four-year curriculum that pastors complete alongside leading their churches.

DISCIPLESHIP – There is so much for a new believer to discover as they grow into the fullness of Christ. Discipleship requires the intentional teaching of the basic principles of a life of faith to new believers. We believe this process should be planned, intentional, and monitored. As Christians around the world reach the lost and plant churches, new believers can grow in their faith. As disciples mature, they are activated to then disciple others.

BIBLE DISTRIBUTION – Placing God’s Word into the hands of believers has been at the heart of Harvesters since our foundation in 1998, and in 2006, we established our ‘Bibles for Believers’ department. In 2022, we partnered with Biblica to launch the “First Church, First Bible” project, which ensures that every family actively being discipled in one of our church plants receives a Bible in their own language. Through regular Bible Placement Outreaches, we visit church plants to hand disciples their very first Bible and teach them how to use it – a truly fulfilling and encouraging experience!

Providing essential services to confirm your pregnancy and explore options at no cost to you. Get the confidential answers you need without financial worry. We’re here for you.

Branches is not just an anti-abortion organization. Branches is a life advocacy, family-affirming organization with a full range of services to help a woman or a family through the struggles of an unplanned pregnancy. From pregnancy testing, STI testing, and an ultrasound attended by a registered nurse and read by a medical doctor.

We have an amazing boutique where you can get clothing and other material needs for yourself and your baby. We have counseling for fathers and an opportunity to attend school and earn a degree, with tuition, rent, and childcare provided.

We Do Life With Each Other is not just a slogan; it’s a promise.

Branches is not just about pregnancy or abortion. Our Executive Director, Jean Marie Davis, was imprisoned as a slave in the sex-trafficking industry from childhood. Through the grace of God, she was able to escape, cancel the abortion of her son, and find redemption in the grace of Jesus Christ. She has committed her life to rescuing those who find themselves in bondage. Sex Trafficking, domestic abuse, addiction, and spiritual oppression.

Under Jean’s passionate leadership, Branches has become one of the leading outreach agencies in southern Vermont, and its influence is now spreading throughout New England. Jean is a much-sought-after speaker among pro-life groups and government agencies at the local and national levels.

Agape Christian Fellowship is proud to be associated with such a visionary organization that is working tirelessly to come alongside women and families when help is needed.
