Upcoming Projects: SUmmer & Fall 2025

Nations are opening, and we're ready to bring the hope of the Gospel to Albania, Bulgaria and now Kosovo this summer! God has been incredibly good, and we're excited announce our Albanian festival for 2 nights and now we’re adding Kosovo for 2 nights, bringing our Bulgarian team to minister alongside us. Our Balkan Harvest Festival Director is ensuring every detail is handled with excellence for maximum impact. After Albania and Kosovo, we'll continue sharing the Good News in Bulgaria.

After returning from overseas, our goal is to finish out the year with a festival in Oklahoma. Yes, we are doing an Evangelism festival stateside. This is something God placed on our hearts and we are excited to carry it out!

To fund these crucial evangelism festivals and all travel, we need to raise $50,000.

Your support for GBB directly helps us win souls and equip nationals for ongoing soul-winning in their respective nations. Thank you for investing in this life-changing mission!

Project History

Peru 2013

After years of training with the best, we stepped out for our first festival in the amazon region of Iquitos, Peru. This was three nights in three different locations on the island of Indiana right on the Amazon River. Several thousands heard the gospel message, many receiving Jesus as Savior. There were 22 confirmed miracles over these three nights!

Peru 2014

The summer of 2014 brought us to the Andes Mountain region of Huancayo, Peru. In then city of Sapallanga we did a multiple night festival. One young man named Edgar had been paralyzed down his left side for thirteen years with very limited mobility and speech, on this evening He came up to testify and walked and talked unhindered across the stage with me!

NEPAL 2015

In 2015 we were back in Nepal, a country that has always had our hearts. we were thrilled to hold a 4-night festival and one children’s festival. We shared the gospel with over 31,000 in the city of Banepa, Nepal. There were also 57 confirmed healings during these 4 nights!

Peru 2016

In the summer of 2016 we were in three city of Cajamarca, Peru for a two night festival. The people were hungry and 600 heard the gospel message. We spent more time in numerous children’s homes sharing the love of Jesus with kids that had been abandoned.

Thailand 2017

This summer we did a back to back festivals starting in Wattana Nakon, Thailand. This area had only one known church which we worked closely with. The 2-night festival was well received in that area as we saw the largest ever turnout for Thailand festival up until that point, praise God. There were over 850 who heard the gospel message, and 14 confirmed healings. One precious Thai lady had been praying for the area for over 20 years, and we know her prayers were a major reason for the outcome.

Cambodia 2017

The second part of that summer was in the country of Cambodia. We found ourselves in the Takeo area, on Polpott fields. We held a 2-night festival on a field that many years prior had been a field of death. Close to 2000 heard the gospel message on these two nights, and millions of bugs too! There were 19 confirmed healings, including Tha who was 27 years old. On this evening Tha was healed of deafness since birth!

PERU 2018

This trip stands out as we remember our friend who was tormented all his life in his mind. As he left the festival this night, the outside voices stopped and he was healed! The next evening he came back to the festival rejoicing and testifying of what God had done!

bangladesh 2019

The fall of 2019 was one of the most remote trips we’ve ever been on. We flew into the the capitol city of Dhaka and drove many hours north. This country is densely populated, a crusade evangelists dream! We did a 2-night festival in a large village area with 3,500 in attendance. No one had ever preached the gospel there before, and the 20 confirmed healings were proof to the thousands in attendance that God loves them! One young man was healed after his friend brought him the second evening. He had constant pain and headaches for 5 years, but that evening he was immediately healed. His friend had brought him because he was healed the night before. Both young men along with thousands more accepted Jesus as Lord!

Bulgaria 2021

2021 was a huge shift in our ministry. We found ourselves in Sofia, Bulgaria and a 3-night festival in the gypsy communities. The crowds were not only gathered around us but were in all the doorways and windows of their homes listening intently. 1,500 people heard the gospel message over these three nights, and 6 confirmed healings. One teenage boy had surgery to repair his leg from a bad accident, and came out of the surgery with bad nerve damage. As Joel tested his leg and to his and his mothers amazement the feeling returned to his legs. His mother was crying with joy on the side of the stage!

Philippines 2019

On our second trip to the Philippines in the fall of 2019, we were in the northern cities of La Trinidad/Bagio City. The crowd was close to 3,000 with a large majority giving their lives to Jesus on this one evening in December. There were also 9 confirmed healings and many lives touched with the power of the gospel!

Bulgaria 2022

The summer of 2022 we had two festivals in Bulgaria. One in the gypsy communities and this one in Burgas, Bulgaria. We held this right in the main square area on the pedestrian street. Over 5,000 heard the gospel with many more joining in the fun and festivities! There were 12 confirmed healings with eyesight being restored to a young teenage girl.

Bulgaria 2023

In 2023 we had both summer and fall festivals. We started in Varna and Burgas in the summer, and ended in the fall in town of Asenovci which is pictured here. Altogether over 5,000 Bulgarians heard the gospel message, with over 2,800 salvations and 5 confirmed healings. One sweet lady was healed of blindness in her eye caused by diabetes and she told us she could feel an immediate difference in her body. This village marked a milestone in our ministry as we planted the Balkans Harvest Plan at the end of this trip. Across Bulgaria and the Balkans the most unreached people are in thousands of these village areas.

Bulgaria 2024

2024 kicked of with festival number 7 in Bulgaria in the town of Pazardzhik. Here we worked with an amazing set of Pastors and their local church people. Together we had an amazing evening preaching the gospel to hundreds of hungry people ready for change, they poured in ready for something new. This was the initial kickoff to a church plant in that town!

Croatia 2024

Right after Bulgaria, we found ourselves in Varazdin, Croatia. This was our first opportunity to hold a festival in Croatia, and it was ground breaking in that the and healing were preached out in the open and demonstrated. The crowds were in the hundreds, but the change in the spirit was felt by all who attended. This was the first time our contact could think of, that so many different flows came together for a common purpose… harvest!
