History & Vision
Help The Harvest Ministries
History: The Lord has blessed me tremendously since I was "Born-Again" and Baptized on May 5, 1991, at the age of 38. Since then, He has enabled and empowered me to have many productive, exciting and challenging spiritual endeavors over these many years, as He gave me the vision of "Help The Harvest" after having been Baptized in the Spirit at Calvary Chapel (CC) Lake Elsinore, CA. (1996). This includes, but is not limited to: coordinating, participating in, and supporting Calvary Chapel missions and church planting efforts for over 23 years. In this regard, I was blessed to have been led to establish the Help The Harvest - Missions Support Network within Calvary Mission (1997); being president/founder of Help The Harvest Hawaii - Mission Society, a Federally certified 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation based in Honolulu HI. (2004), and to date, is still operational. But, the Lord had bigger plans for me, as I was formally mentored by one of the best Bible Teachers in the country, Pastor Tim Brown, CC Fremont, CA (2006). After that, I served as an Elder/Board Member for three years under one of the most loving and kind CC Pastors (Pastor Dave Perata, Calvary Fellowship, Discovery Bay CA.)....Which is where I was first "pastorized" after completing the Calvary Chapel Outreach Fellowship (CCOF) Pastor Training requirements, and where they laid hands on me and sent my wife and I out to plant a Calvary Chapel Church, in Dothan, Alabama (1/28/10).
"Planting The Word In The Heart Of Dixie!" At age 57, this is the vision the Lord had given me. As there were/are many churches in Dothan AL, but very few verse-by-verse, expository Bible teaching churches, and no Calvary Chapel churches at all at that time (2010), with only 6 in the whole state. The State's motto as printed on their license plates read: "Alabama - The Heart of Dixie"...hence, while I was praying in preparation for moving from Discovery Bay, CA to Dothan AL, my mission and church planting plan became clear to me in several short mental images: "Let us go to Dothan" (Gen 37:17); declare the whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27) by "Planting The Word in the Heart of Dixie," "Hang the Dove & They will come"...as well as "Where God Guides, He provides!" God is faithful, as He did provide abundantly for us during the more than 7 years I was the pastor of Calvary Chapel Dothan. But most of all, He gave us an even deeper love for: Our Lord Jesus, His Word, His people, and the urgent need for them to hear the whole counsel of God, verse-by-verse, to augment the mainly topical preaching that dominates in most churches.
"And Around The World!" A Dream Come True! Now having reached my later 60's – The Lord has given us a brand new "Good Work" to partake in - Help The Harvest Radio Network (HTHRadio.com). Just like Pastor Tim Brown used to tell us in our mentoring sessions, "You'll know it's a calling when it doesn't go away." He was right, as ever since the closing of our church in 2018, the Lord has put it in my heart to get Calvary Chapel Bible Teaching planted in the Heart of Dixie. And I was quite content to do it one Bible message at a time, by converting my more than 5,000 tape cassette library into digital format, and putting it on our HelpTheHarvest.com website. But "Lo and Behold"...He had something so much bigger, better, and exciting to do! He wanted to plant The Word, not only in the Heart of Dixie, but around the world!
Praise The Lord - Prayerfully That's Why Your "Hear!" To listen to Pastors teaching The Word - The Whole Counsel of God, verse-by-verse, 7 days a week....Because, this is: "Where The Word of God Speaks!"
Welcome - Enjoy & Grow...In His Word!
