The vision for Haven Harvest Institute is to see the Body of Christ equipped, empowered, and mobilized to fulfill the Great Commission, reaching the harvest with the transforming message of the Gospel and demonstrating the love of Christ in both word and deed and encompasses several key elements:
-
Training and Education: Haven Harvest Institute will offer comprehensive training programs designed to equip believers with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed for effective evangelism and disciple-making. This training will cover various aspects of ministry, including biblical studies, theology, evangelism strategies, discipleship methods, pastoral care, and leadership development.

Holistic Approach: The vision will include a holistic approach to ministry training, recognizing the interconnectedness of spiritual, emotional, physical, and social aspects of human life.

Innovation and Adaptability: Recognizing the ever-changing cultural landscape and the evolving needs of the global church, the vision will prioritize innovation and adaptability. This will involve leveraging technology for distance learning, developing new methodologies for evangelism and discipleship in diverse contexts, and staying abreast of current trends and best practices in ministry.
