This presents us with a serious question concerning the position of the church today. In Africa we are facing the challenge of reaching millions of people living in utter poverty. In the past 40 years Africa’s economy has stagnated and most African countries have become poorer. Most Africans are subsistence farmers and are extremely poor. In South Africa alone there are approximately 3 million Zimbabwean refugees and more than a million refugees from Mozambique, living in informal settlements with no infrastructure or services. Millions of South Africans live below the bread line, and it is the same throughout the rest of Africa. The giants that African people are facing include: corrupt leaders, natural disasters, diseases like malaria and HIV/AIDS, tribal wars and ethnic cleansing. How is the church responding to the challenge of Jesus in “Preaching the gospel to the poor” (Luke 4). This is the Word that God challenged me with during a time of prayer and fasting in January 2008. The significance of preaching and ministering to the poor must not be underestimated. The bible says that if you help the poor in their need, you actually lend to God. (Prov 19:17) That means, helping the poor is doing God’s work on His behalf, knowing that God blesses those who give when it is in the power of their hands to do so. (Prov 3:27) If you help the poor and bring the gospel to them you touch the heart of God. WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT IT? Judea Harvest took up this challenge, to preach the gospel to the poor in 2008 and beyond.
The basic plan is to make 10 tents available in a national church planting and evangelism campaign amongst 100 chosen and selected leaders that represent the whole country. Every leader and the outreach team of his local church will take turns to host a 2 week evangelism campaign to evangelise and plant new churches in order to disciple the new converts. All the training resources will accompany the tent and the roll-out will seek to partner with other organisations to give greater impact. The potential souls to be reached over the next three years is THREE MILLION. FIRST 5 TENTS ALREADY PLACED IN MOZAMBIQUE
A 78 year old pastor from the Assemblies of God shared his gratitude as we handed the 5 tents over by saying: “I have prayed for many years for tents to come to Mozambique, I see tents in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia but now the door is open, it is our turn. I wish I was 20 years younger!” We invite you to join us as we “ Preach the Gospel to the Poor” Louis Blom [top]

In the year 2008 we plan to launch 10 tents amongst 100 leaders (per country) in 10 of the poorest and most needy countries. Some of the countries we have targeted include: Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Burundi, etc. 
It is with great excitement that we report that this overall goal and project is already in motion. During the first week of May 2008 we launched the first 5 tents in Mozambique. In partnership with AFMIN and the AFM in Mozambique we placed these 5 tents and in September 2008 the next 5 will be launched.
