Harvest Ministries

What Harvest Ministries does

Harvest Ministries (Stichting Harvest Ministries) is a Dutch Christian non-profit foundation established in 1999 by Steven Badal and headquartered in the Netherlands. It operates as an ANBI-certified public benefit organization (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling), with all board members and employees working on a voluntary, unpaid basis. Its core activities include delivering Christian teaching, conducting church services, and supporting missionary work, serving a congregation of Christian supporters, donors, and beneficiaries primarily in the Netherlands with international outreach.

The organization's product surface is built around a central bilingual (Dutch/English) website hosting more than 100 teaching videos, complemented by a publishing arm (notably the book "Waarom boeken over relaties niet werken"). It operates through a structured set of sub-brands that act as distinct engagement channels: Harvest Global Network (HGN) offers workshops and conferences; Harvest Nieuws functions as a news outlet; Harvest Projects serves as the dedicated missionary arm active in South America, Africa, and Asia; and Christengemeente Harvest represents the local church community. A long-term policy plan covers the period 2018-2025, formalizing strategic priorities across these initiatives.

Harvest Ministries generates no product revenue; the entire financial model rests on donations and gifts, channeled under ANBI rules that provide tax advantages to Dutch donors. There are no paying customers in the conventional sense — supporters and donors function as the funding base, while beneficiaries of teaching, church services, and missionary projects form the mission-side audience. Because there are no paid staff, donations and gifts flow predominantly into content production, event delivery, and mission project funding rather than labor costs.
