Two Harvest Cycles per year for five years- that’s the basic concept behind “Building Soul Winning Momentum in the Northwest.” What does a Harvest Cycle look like in your church or school? It all begins with prayer and is based on a serious commitment to the Gospel Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). Here’s what’s recommended—
| Dates- 2007 | Church or School Activity | Who Might Lead Out |
| January 6-12 | Week of Fasting & Prayer | 1st Elder (or Academy Bible Teacher/Chaplain) |
| January- March | Small Groups– Church members (or students) find a partner and begin a small group ministry or Bible study to meet the needs of their non-member friends, relatives. neighbors and co-workers | Personal Ministries Leader and/or Sabbath School Leader (or Academy SA, Class & Club Leaders) |
| March and/or April | Local Reaping Meetings– 12-15 nights of reaping meetings | Team of Seven (Lay Preacher or Pastor, Assistant Leader, Secretary-Treasurer, Deacon, Deaconess, Two Children’s Ministry Leaders) |
| April 21-28* | Satellite Reaping Meetings– 8 nights broadcast from one of the Ten Largest Cities in the Northwest | Pastor or Lay Leader |
| May-June | Friendship Triads– Two members team up with each new member to reach out to their friends and relatives | Deacon and Deaconess (or Academy SA, Class & Club Leaders) |
| July 7-14 | Week of Fasting & Prayer to begin the next Harvest Cycle | 1st Elder (or Academy Bible Teacher/Chaplain) |
