The unministered acre
The church has ministries for marriage, parenting, grief, and finances. But it has had no ministry for the work itself — the business, the practice, the company where men and women spend most of their waking lives. For Christian business owners, that work strains their marriages, steals from their children, and wears down their faith. It is the unministered acre of their lives.
Great Harvest Ministries exists to change that. We believe a business is an assignment from God — a place to make disciples, create provision, and carry the gospel where a sermon never reaches.
“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it.”
— Habakkuk 2:2
