Who We Are
Harvest Reach is a 501c3 missions organization made up of many tongues, tribes and nations. We are characterized by our obedience to preach the gospel and to make disciples in all nations.
What We Do
God’s heart beats for people — we are the tangible expression of God's love. Reaching others through preaching the gospel, impacting communities through church planting and discipleship.
What Makes Us Unique?
Harvest Reach thrusts its focus on developing the indigenous peoples of each area to raise up local leaders to empower their own people to make disciples.
“The people who sit in darkness need to see the light, but it seems the people who sit in the light cannot see into the darkness. Light does not shine in the light, it shines in the darkness. ”
Meet the Founders
Harvest Reach was founded in 1989 by Mark and Sherry Mears as Footsteps Ministries. They reached out to the hurting on the streets of Houston, Texas. God soon expanded their field of view to include a multitude of other nations.
Over the years God has worked through Mark to reach into Mexico to share the gospel and distribute food to the less fortunate. Share God’s word via outreach and crusades in Guatemala. Share Christ in Thailand and take bibles to the underground church in Vietnam.
How the Work Started in Africa
Mark made a trip to Zambia, Africa to speak at a conference after the country had been declared a Christian nation by its new president, Chluba. While he was their the Lord spoke to him concerning all that He wanted him to do in Africa. The following year, Mark and Sherry with their two sons moved to Zambia where they began training leadership and planting churches.
Although Mark had traveled abroad extensively Sherry had only been on an airplane once and to only one other state in the US. The Lord gave Mark and Sherry a great love for the people of Africa and they remained in Africa full-time for seven years. They currently make trips back to Africa regularly to assist in the on-going work there.
Establishing a Work in India
Our Work in India began in 2019 through local area believes spreading the word of God on the streets. Through this network of small house groups the believers have been discipled and evangelism continues.
Tenants of faith

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that you must be born again through the regeneration of the mind by the Holy Spirit to enter the Kingdom of God.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
