After 29 years of media and communications services to Christian ministries,

Harvest Media Ministry is closed.

Over the years many ministries have placed an enormous amount of trust in HMM to support their communications. We often heard how difficult it is to find skilled communications professionals who have a heart for Jesus, and understand the unique context of Christian Ministry.

To that end, we strongly recommend the communications contractors below for your future communications needs.

All of these people have previously served with Harvest, and now have their own businesses continuing to serve a range of organizations.

Background on the Decision to Close HMM

Over the past three years, the HMM board has been in a process of discerning how to steward the calling of this ministry through the constant changes in today’s media landscape. In 2021, we made a major shift and reorganized as a holistic communications agency. That was a year of significant ministry for Harvest as we supported a range of ministries and organizations with monthly communications services.

However, in January 2022, the Harvest board determined that we could no longer subsidize services to ministries and we began winding down nearly all media services to clients by August.

The final decision by the board was to formally close Harvest Media Ministry effective December 31, 2022.

Harvest was founded in 1993 as Video Ministries International. The vision of the founder, Ralph Roberts, was to bless mission organizations, missionaries and churches by producing videos with state-of-the-art
technology.

One of Ralph’s sons, Phil Roberts, has a particular heart for ministry to youth, and so Harvest’s resources will be reallocated to a new effort spearheaded by Phil to support Christian education and youth ministry in the years ahead.

We praise God for the many ministries we’ve been able to serve over these 29 years of services. He has been so faithful. Ecclesiastes reminds us there is a time for everything, and Harvest Media Ministry’s time has come.
