IDES – Harvest of Talents – Mission Services

The Harvest is Nearly Here:

All around the U.S. this fall, church families are hosting Harvest of Talents events to raise money for world hunger relief through IDES.

At each event, you will find hundreds of hand-crafted items, home-made goods, or unique services for sale. One hundred percent of funds raised directly provides nutritious food through long-term feeding programs for children and families who are suffering from hunger and food insecurity around the world.

It says in 1 Peter 4:10, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” This is what the Harvest of Talents is all about. We would love to see you at one of these generous, exciting events this year!
