Our Story
How The Harvest Church Came About
The Harvest Church International is a non-denominational church that was originally born in the hearts of Brad and Jana Tuttle. Over the past few years God had begun placing a passion in Pastors Brad and Jana Tuttle to impact their community with the life changing power of Jesus Christ through touching individual lives by meeting their needs. Over months of praying and seeking God, Brad and Jana decided to take the leap of faith and begin The Harvest Church.
Years of traveling and ministering all over the world (Cuba, Panama, South Africa, England, Wales, Scotland, Central America, and the United States), years of studying in Bible School and focused prayer, and being an associate pastor at a powerful growing local church was the preparation needed that launched the Tuttle’s into The Harvest Church. Pastor Brad Tuttle says, “Our Motto is, ‘Everything done with Power and Passion to the Glory of God!’
"We want to make a lasting and powerful impact on other’s lives by sharing the life-change Christ has and is accomplishing in us. The Harvest Church International is the culmination of a vision given to us by God and the fruition of a dream. We will be a house of harvest in these last days, leading people to the Lord we love and equipping believers for service in the kingdom of God."
About Pastor Brad
Having been in a bar all night and seeing his life for what it was, Brad Tuttle, 27 at the time, drove back to his apartment where, for three hours, he paced the floor. Overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness and despair, he walked into his bedroom, knelt beside his bed, and cried, “Jesus if you are really there come into my life, forgive me of my sins, and start me over again.” Instantly he found a freedom he had never experienced, and a love he had never known. Brad was radically saved that night. He immediately began to live all-out for Christ and never looked back.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” - 2 Corinthians 5:17
God’s call placed Brad in full-time ministry a few years later. His passion for evangelism has directed him to travel internationally bringing a powerful message of hope through Jesus Christ to the world. Brad’s unique ministry style has been used to introduce hundreds of thousands of men, women, teenagers, and children across North, South and Central America, Cuba, Great Britain, and Africa to the message of Jesus Christ and His atoning work on the cross.
As a teacher, author, and pastor, Brad is known for his passionate and illustrative style of delivering the Gospel message to all ages. God uses Brad’s gift of ministry to touch the hearts of many people and encourage them to press on and run the race. During his 20 years experience in the ministry, Brad has been involved in pastoral work where his main objectives were church growth by evangelism, discipleship teaching, and pulpit ministry. He has been blessed to teach and preach in local church pulpits around the world.
Brad’s desire is also to challenge the church to walk an abundant Christian life by praying and applying the Word of God daily. He and his wife Jana planted The Harvest Church where he weekly presents a powerful message that helps empower Christians with the essential tools needed to defend their faith, live a right and pleasing life to Christ, reach out to the non-churched, and overcome life’s obstacles. His dynamic ministry style has taught, trained and equipped thousands to live and walk the victorious peace filled life that Christ has promised through faith, in these times of uncertainty.
