About Harvest100Fold
Purpose and Focus
Harvest100Fold is focused on inspiring Christians in the English speaking world to respond to God’s call to complete the Great Commission, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ and making disciples in all the nations. Only a select few are called to minister abroad, but all Christians need to help. In Brazil, there is a great need to share the good news with the peoples of the neglected semi-desert regions of Northeast Brazil, known as the Sertão. The local Christians are already sharing the gospel with the peoples of the Sertão, but they desperately need assistance from those more fortunate. We also need to work to create disciples, not just shallow Sunday Christians, but solid believers who live their faith seven days each week.
There are a variety of organizations working to advance the kingdom in the Sertão. This is a tough area, where religious traditions are strong, but in error. There is much idol worship. Jesus is known, but not as savior. The culture rejects accepting Jesus as savior. People who want to accept are persecuted by the community. Not physically, but culturally. This further locks in a cycle of despair, drug use, prostitution and dependency. Embracing a personal savior is tough when in these small communities you are shunned.
Many churches work to advance the gospel in these areas. Mission JUVEP tackles some of the toughest challenges. JUVEP is able, with the donations from the Brazilian community, to send multiple teams into the Sertão for short-term missions. JUVEP is known in the mission circles in Brazil, but little known in the USA.
Harvest100Fold is funded entirely by the founders, which means that your donations go straight to the front lines of this awesome work (Note that credit card donations incur a 5% credit card processing charge and the local organization administering donations retains up to 10% to defray costs.) Our calling is to bring English speakers to a greater appreciation of the tremendous need for support of this work.
Donations by credit card can be made to missionaries, projects, and special needs (like food service projects). Credit card donations are NOT tax deductible. Donations for the JUVEP mission base can be made via bank transfer, with minimal costs. The TrustBridge system can accept tax deductible donations, but is not recommended for smaller donations due to administrative costs.

About the Founders
The Lord called us from the US to Brazil, to help with the amazing work being done to advance the Christ’s Kingdom. We are David and Sharon Hermreck. David served volunteer ministries for years. These include prison ministry, counseling, representing the Voice of the Martyrs* as an Area Representative, and serving on the Board of Directors for Christian Service Charities. Sharon was a devoted home school Mom. She prepared her son with 12 years of home school to embrace a rigorous engineering program at the University of Alabama.
Our roots to Brazil go back to Sharon’s year as a college student in Brazil. Sharon really immersed in the culture, living with Brazilians and sharing their life and lifestyle. These deep roots give Sharon an affinity for Brazil that is rare for an American.
We directly support the JUVEP mission and other work here, seeking to bring awareness of this wonderful work to American Christians and asking for financial help to advance the Kingdom into the mostly neglected parts of Brazil!
HARVEST100FOLD STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe:
- the Bible, Old and New Testament, as originally delivered, to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God;
- there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
- in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the God th Father where He intercedes for us, in His present role as Head of the Church, and in His personal return in power and glory;
- the existence and present operation of the evil one, Satan, a created being, who seeks to deceive humanity into greater sin and into denying God; knowing time is very short before eternal condemnation;
- all men and women are sinners and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation from eternal condemnation, and that repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ is necessary for forgiveness, resurrection and eternal joy with God.
- in the salvation and regeneration of lost and sinful men and women by the power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
- in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church.
* The Voice of the Martyrs is doing wonderful and vital work all around the world empowering persecuted Christians to live and share their faith in incredibly difficult situations. God has called us now to help the peoples of the Sertão, but if you feel called to help the persecuted, please research the work of the Voice of the Martyrs.
