Who we are
We are a group of people who wish to set up small learning centres with a high quality educational system in Papua, Indonesia, that are available to village children. These villages will become communities that work together because they have discovered Jesus’ inspiring way of life. Our unified hands will enable them to see and value how God provides for the individual, for their family, and for their community.
Full Harvest Ministry is a Trust under the umbrella of the River Church, Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia. From within this secure position, Full Harvest Ministry is totally independent with its own management committee. This Committee fulfils advisory and oversight needs, necessary now and even more so as Terri has now returned to Indonesia full-time to set up these courses.
