A big thank you to our friend and local Walmart manager, Mike Lowery, for coming out and helping us clear a fallen tree on the property at Harvest Ministries.

Mike didn’t just send encouragement — he showed up, put on gloves, and went to work. That kind of servant-hearted leadership means a lot to us.

We are thankful for friends, community partners, and leaders who care enough to help when there is work to be done. Harvest Ministries is better because of people like this.

Thank you, Mike, and thank you Walmart Columbia for the continued support and community spirit.

We have an immediate need at Harvest.

We are working with several children in the Child Protection Services system right here in our community. Before children can safely remain in or be reunified with their families, the home must meet basic safety standards — and one of those requirements is that each child has a proper bed.

Right now, multiple children we serve are sleeping on couches, pallets, or sharing crowded sleeping spaces. The caseworkers cannot approve the homes until adequate beds are provided.

We are asking for donations of new or gently used twin beds (mattress + frame). Bedding is also helpful.

When a bed is placed, a child isn’t just getting furniture — it often means they are allowed to stay with their family instead of entering foster placement.

If you have a bed to give, or would like to help us purchase one, please message me directly.

You can change where a child sleeps tonight — and in some cases, whether they get to stay home.

Mississippi business owners:

There’s a state program most people don’t know about.

The Mississippi Department of Revenue allows a business to reserve a portion of the state income taxes — and even certain city and county property taxes — it already owes and direct it to a limited number of approved children’s advocacy organizations. Harvest Ministries has recently been approved as one of them.

This is a dollar-for-dollar tax credit (not a deduction), and the State approves it before any money is given.

Businesses may direct up to 50% of their Mississippi tax liability through this program.

In simple terms:
you’re not giving extra money… you’re choosing where part of your tax dollars go.

If you want to see how the 5-minute approval works, message me and I’ll send the instructions.

Morning on the prayer path.
A fresh reminder that the Lord is good, trustworthy, and faithful to guide our steps.
There is rest in Him.

We added 19 more foster children to our Christmas wish list this morning.

Thank you so much for your generosity! Would you consider stepping in to make a child in foster care feel truly special this Christmas?

We have two simple ways you can help:

🎁 Sponsor a child:
Comment “sponsor” to request a child’s wishlist. You can choose 1, 2, 3—or even 10 children. We’ll reply within the day with their Christmas list so you can begin shopping right away. (Plan on spending about $150 per child.)

💝 Prefer for us to shop for you?
You can make a donation on our website, and our team will handle the shopping. (Link in the comments.)

Thank you again for helping us share God’s love and make a real difference this Christmas!

🎄❤️ This Christmas, we have a beautiful opportunity ❤️🎄
There are foster children in our community who need to know they are seen, valued, and loved.
Harvest Ministries is helping make Christmas special for them — and we’re looking for people to sponsor a child or give toward their gifts.
If your heart is stirred, comment “SPONSOR” and I’ll send the details. 🎁
