the harvest gathering community worship center


The Leadership and the Household of Faith of The Harvest Gathering believe every ministry should have a base and facility to operate from to  effectively host the congregation and  walk in her calling . We are so thankful and blessed as we have hosted and faithfully run with the vision and calling of God for The Harvest Gathering over  a decade or so, we believe , NOW is the appointed time to build the house of the Lord.


We are building  a Sanctuary of worship in obedience to His Word written in Nehemiah 1:9 where He said "I will gather and bring you to a place where My Name will be glorified". 


In the olden days, to be in the court and presence of the king could be one of the most coveted position any one could  ever dreamed of, not to mention the grand remuneration, connection and favor. Nehemiah was a dignified royalty as the King's cupbearer. It was a place and position of trust as the one who had the closest communion with the king, next to his wife. It was a position of grand provision and security but yet his heart was downcast and the sadness of his heart can not be hidden from the king. Burdened by the plight of the apple of God's eye, he asked the king and was favored with building provisions to build the walls of the City of God,  removing the disgrace and instilling the dignity in the hearts of God's people.


In the Book Haggai, ' Finished what has been started' was the theme echoed all throughout the book when it comes to the rebuilding of the house of God. We all know the story when the remnants eagerly came together and shared a common goal  to start building the house of God but somehow along the way they became distracted and with misplaced priorities one after another, the people's passion and zeal was eroded greatly and lost the desire and interest in their hearts to build the house of the Lord. 

The Lord sent the prophet Haggai to admonish and awaken the hearts of the people to once again prioritize to complete the building of the house of the Lord and it was declared that the glory of the latter house would be greater than the former. God made a promised to the leaders and the remnant of the people in Hag 1:13, ' I am with you ," declares the Lord. In Hag 2:4&5 ," I am with you," declares the Lord and my Spirit remains amongst you. DO NOT FEAR!!


To the The Harvest Gathering household of faith, families and friends,  though we are faced by many uncertainties- we will not fear for the great I AM is with us and His mighty Spirit remains amongst us, so we fear not. We are not after a fancy building, but desires a sanctuary to host His presence and effectively serve the community that God has given for us to serve.

Philippians 1:6 says "being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in us will be faithful to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ".

Project Development Update!

We had reached a milestone in our building project undertaking. Well, it took a while to come up to this stage due to many road blocks encountered and too many times than usual contending for resolutions that would give us savings and reduced cost of compliance at the end of the day. Praise God!! an extra would- be cost of another $100,000 for the required re-sleeving of a 36 inches diameter water mains that runs across 50 to 70 feet of the property frontage was fully withdrawn by the city planners and instead allowed us to provide a gravel entry towards the Canning Road for emergency vehicles in case of eventuality. 


Glory to God as we continued to intercede and pray every the Friday Corporate Prayer at the mission house, the Lord had made a way for us to pass this one hurdle. In so doing, the very last signatory finally signed off. 

As the site development was signed out and completed, we are now in the middle of obtaining the construction permit with our vetted licensed contractor and should be couple of weeks away from the construction phase of the project.


We believe that we will overcome whatever is before us as we humbly come before His presence and seek His mind and HIs ways continually. We covet your continued prayer and intercession for all things are possible when we pray!

PRIVATE DEBT OFFERING

We are truly thankful to those who had given to our first ever building fund raising early in 2022. Your generous contributions and pledges enabled us to address the needed property upkeep, fencing, and security issues. It also brought to motion the project preliminaries from scratch, bringing in together the different professionals and skills to complete our submission to the city planners. We were able to settle most of the government fees and the preliminary services needed and made a 20% deposit to the building provider. We are lost for words to express our gratitude and thanksgiving to the generosity of everyone. May the Lord brings you many returns in both the physical and spiritual realms.


The second phase of our project capital campaign is through a Private Debt Offering through a Promissorry Note ( PN ). The last two Sundays of August we had presented this pathway to raise the targeted amount of $ 250,000 in the month of September. We need the funds to be in place to pay the services that must be completed before the slab  and foundation work, like the plumbing and some electrical works and buried raceways for our audio lines etc.


Anyone needing more information on this Private Debt Offering thru a Promissory Note ( PN ), please feel free to contact any of the leaders or the project manager and we will be very much delighted to go through it with you. Thank you to all kingdom investors!!

The Harvest Gathering in transition - Pictorial History


In 2016, exactly 2 years from the official registration with state of Florida as The Harvest Gathering INC, the leadership was led to a vacant industrial warehouse at 78th St in Tampa, that was vacated by another church group, and called it home from 2016 to 2020 before the onset of covid pandemic.

It became a place were THG made lots of memories in serving and congregating before the Lord. The Lord was so good and these photos testify about His faithfulness .





the church at S Parsons avenue, Seffner - Tent Meetings & Gatherings

During the time of the pandemic, the church went online for all services and programs and used all social media platforms to connect and minister to the household of faith. During this time, many surrounding churches had shut down for whatever reasons, THG remained steadfast and focus with lots of care and caution. It was this time that a couple was touched by the Lord and offered the church this 2.2 acres of property without structure on a loan agreement. The Church moved in to build a tent in which the congregation can meet similar to the old time 'Tent Meeting" settings. What a joy to be able to meet in person again. These photos said it all and we give glory to God who always had been so faithful to His people



The Church Tent destroyed by Hurricane Ian IN October 2022

The day after Hurricane Ian had gone, we came to the property to find huge trees fell over the 'Tent of Meeting' and totally destroyed our temporary tent of worship. Instead of having heavy. hearts, the house of faith took this as a time in the Lord to build a permanent structure to be THG Tampa Bay house of worship.


These photos of devastation gave us hope the " He who called us into fellowship with His Son is a faithful God".

The church present place of worship in Parsons Ave, Brandon

It was very tempting to go back to online services because of this great loss, but, we resolved to host services in person. The Lord led us to this place and held our services since then.

These photos stand as a witness to God's sovereignty and faithfulness . All the glory to His name!
