Preaching the Gospel in regions beyond
rEGIONS BEYOND
From Somalia to Senegal, Entebbe to Istanbul and the uttermost parts of the earth, the vision of Global Harvest Ministries International (GHMI) is to preach the gospel and demonstrate the works of Christ in regions beyond. Mark seeks out regions where the gospel has not yet been preached and where people have not yet heard the message that Jesus is the Saviour of the world. The gospel is taken to these regions, where thousands are saved and healed by the power of God.
An Evangelistic approach
Souls are priority #1!
GHMI has seen over 3 million decisions for Christ in 22 years. In every initiative, GHMI prioritizes leading people to Jesus. Whether the project is a mass crusade, skills training, or construction, the vision is souls. GHMI seeks out the lost to bring them to the life-giving water that quenches all thirst. North Africa, the Middle East, and South East Asia must be saved!
“Like Paul, the preaching was not with words only, but with power and the Holy Spirit. The outcomes have been absolutely remarkable!”
—Rev. John Kristensen, President, Apostolic Church of Canada
our story
Global Harvest Ministries International (GHMI) was founded in 1990 by Mark and Sharon Davy. It was incorporated in 1994 and is recognized as a charity by the Canadian government.
Mark is the son of missionary parents and Sharon was born and raised in Zimbabwe. As teenagers, they attended Reinhardt Bonke’s crusades in Zimbabwe, and a passion for souls was birthed in their hearts. They graduated from Zion Bible Institute in 1984. After 15 years of pastoring in Canada and conducting missions on the side, Mark and Sharon launched Global Harvest Ministries International giving their lives to full-time missionary evangelism.
God spoke to Mark about the importance of working with the local church as an evangelist and missionary. For 22 years he has helped build the local church through evangelism and missions, resulting in many open doors across Canada and the United States.
Global Harvest Ministries International has an operational base in the West Nile Region in Arua, Northern Uganda. It is recognized as a Non-Government Organization, incorporated under the name Global Operation Philip Initiative. Evangelistic mission teams are launched into Eastern Congo, Southern Sudan, Western Ethiopia, as well as other neighboring nations.
GHMI is recognized as a Non-Government agency in Pakistan where we are building churches, evangelizing and discipling converts. The GHMI ministry team ministers to slave families in Bagaywala, providing spiritual guidance and a primary education. We are helping to create opportunities for families and children that have been denied their most basic human rights. Where there is no way, God is making a way!
GHMI is proud to partner with Russ and Crish Kustra of Changing Lives Missions in Cebu, Philippines doing weekly outreaches to evangelize and disciple impoverished families while also providing humanitarian relief. Their ministry began as a humanitarian outreach to families in need on a garbage dump site and has grown to include multiple Bible Study and leadership programs. The Kustra’s and their team teach leadership, life skills, basic computer, and basic English to help students enter the workforce.
GHMI is proud to partner with Impacting Asia Ministries through Marvin and Anna Enos, who are Canadian missionaries operating in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Their Bible College has a one, two, and three-year program. Impacting Asia Ministries has over 400 graduates, 150 of whom are in full-time ministry. GHMI vouches for the exceptional quality of these fine ministers. The Bible School students evangelize in Buddhist Schools, marketplaces, as well as Thai and Hilltribe churches.
“This is a ministry you should know about!”
—Rev. Tim Gibb, Revival Word Ministries & Pastor of Bethel Church, Sarnia
souls are priority number one!
What is GHMI doing around the world?
Operations
Operation Philip
Operation Philip is the lifeblood of GHMI, based upon Philip’s example in Acts 8:5-8.
On rough roads wherever the gospel has not been preached, Mark and a team of Pastors, leaders and skilled technicians, move in with their vehicles, set up stages, generators and sound equipment to conduct evangelistic meetings—preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Tens of thousands have accepted Jesus as Saviour. Thousands have been healed. Cities and nations have been changed as a result of this powerful outreach.
Operation andrew
Operation Andrew is based on John 1:41-42. Andrew’s first act upon meeting the Messiah was to find his brother and lead him to Jesus.
Operation Andrew is an international initiative to help individuals with their personal witness in leading people to Jesus. Its mission is to take the gospel message outside the local church into the streets, beaches, and cities enabling individuals to grow in their giftings developing boldness in personal evangelism.
Operation Andrew also has grown to include larger churches adopting smaller churches or isolated ministries. This overwhelming outpour of love on a community makes a huge impact. Often this takes shape through mini-mission trips providing manpower for outreach efforts bringing visibility to the church.
The vision of Operation Andrew is the body of Christ working together, extending the kingdom of God in the four corners of the earth!
Operation Barnabas
Operation Barnabas Perpetual Bible School was birthed in Uganda out of a need to equip the called.
Traditional seminaries are out of reach for many Pastors, resulting in disconnected ministers who are unskilled in the Word.
Students of Operation Barnabas remain in their pulpits while receiving instruction. Pastors are taught through notes and audio teachings on memory sticks using radios with USB capabilities. Audio lessons are provided in part by Jerry Savelle Ministries Canada.
Operation Barnabas traverses denominational and regional divides to further its goal of evangelizing!
Operation rescue
Women and families living in poverty are provided with a safe and profitable environment for them to create an income through Operation Rescue.
Operation Rescue takes the gospel to people living in oppression. At the same time, it seeks to give dignified work to marginalized populations including women involved in the sex trade and families in modern slavery. The goal is to break the cycle of poverty and oppression for future generations while tangibly improving the lives of those under the yoke of slavery.
Women are empowered as they learn trades and sell their creations rather than their bodies. Factory slaves are given provisions and child slaves are educated. The marginalized must be saved!
Operation Esther child
Operation Esther Child has evolved over the years to accommodate the changing needs of children in the third world. From children living in poverty in the Philippines to factory slaves in Pakistan to juvenile delinquents in Uganda, Operation Esther Child brings the hope of Christ to all children regardless of background or circumstances.
Global Guest House
GHMI ministry compound operates as a Christian Guest House when it is not being used to launch evangelism teams.
It is open to accommodate church and ministry teams as well as missionaries who travel through Arua to South Sudan and Eastern Congo.
The Guest House is fully staffed and a moderate fee is charged for accommodations. Breakfast may be arranged upon request.
Arua Pentecostal Churches Initiative
Arua Pentecostal Church Initiative Limited (APCIL) is under the Apostolic direction of Mark Davy. The vision is to build a strong international church in this crossroads city where Islam and Catholicism have dominated.
Situated in a strategic area where countries, cultures, and religions intersect, APCIL has withstood a great many storms and remained strong against tremendous spiritual assaults. It is a bulwark of faith and a witness to God’s goodness far and wide.
Through COVID-19, APCIL has continued to welcome worshippers at the Global Guest House location, fostering community and offering provision to those most vulnerable in this remote area of Uganda.
Mark Davy provides apostolic leadership to over 60 churches in 5 African Countries through the Arua Pentecostal Churches Initiative.
GHMI ChurchES
Global Harvest Ministries International is establishing church campuses in the Middle East, led by local pastors under the apostolic oversight of Mark and Sharon Davy.
GHMI believes and supports local churches. All of its evangelism and humanitarian efforts are done through the local church body and its ministry teams.
vanin medical centre
This beautiful Medical Centre in Kajumiro, Uganda was transferred to Global Harvest Ministries International in December 2016.
The clinic was named in honour of the sacrifice and commitment of missionaries Ron and Lynn Vanin who pioneered this project.
Plans are being made to complete the building and acquire medical supplies and equipment as provision becomes available. We are believing to have this centre up and running this year.
