Over The Harvest Report

The Harvest Report is a global missions podcast bringing you timely updates, firsthand stories, and thoughtful conversations from the front lines of gospel work around the world. Each episode blends current events, field reports, and personal testimonies to help listeners understand both what God is doing globally and the real challenges facing missionaries and national church planters today. This podcast is for those who want to pray intelligently, give strategically, and see the Great Commission clearly not as an abstract idea, but as a living, ongoing work.

The Harvest Report, Ep. 9 - Missionary Michael Shaver

He lost his wife to cancer while preparing to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. He kept going anyway. Michael Shaver was on deputation — raising support, casting vision, building toward a life of missionary work in Iceland — when his world collapsed. His first wife passed away from cancer before they ever reached the field. For most people, that's where the story ends. For Michael, it was where faith had to become something real. In this episode of The Harvest Report, Austin sits down with Michael Shaver for one of the most honest and moving conversations in our series. Michael is not a man defined by tragedy. He is vibrant, warm, deeply intelligent, and full of a joy that doesn't make sense apart from God. But underneath that joy is a faith that has been tested in the hardest way imaginable — and held. They talk about grief, about calling, about what it looks like to trust Romans 8:28 when "all things" includes the thing you never saw coming. And they talk about Iceland — one of the least-reached, most spiritually isolated places in the Western world — and why Michael is still going. This episode will stay with you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ IN THIS EPISODE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • What it means to grieve and keep going at the same time • How Michael's faith was forged — not broken — by loss • The spiritual landscape of Iceland and why church planting there matters • What Romans 8:28 looks like when "all things" costs everything • Why Michael Shaver is still standing ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🙏 PRAY FOR MISSIONARIES LIKE MICHAEL ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Michael's story is not unique in the world of missions — it's just rarely told. Hundreds of men and women are carrying impossible weight in unreached places, trusting God with outcomes they cannot control. The most powerful thing you can do right now is pray. Pray for Michael and his family. Pray for the people of Iceland. Pray for every church planter working in the dark. And if this episode moved you — share it. Someone in your circle needs to hear this story today. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 ABOUT GLOBAL BAPTIST CHURCH PLANTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Global Baptist Church Planters exists to facilitate Baptist church planting worldwide and drive awareness and investment into one of the most urgent needs in the Great Commission. We connect churches, associations, and individuals with the missionaries and movements making disciples where the gospel has never taken root. 🌐 globalbaptist.net 📲 @globalbaptistchurchplanters ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 SUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A REVIEW ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If The Harvest Report has encouraged you, subscribe and leave a review on your podcast platform.

The Harvest Report, Ep. 6 - Pastor John Seay

In this episode of The Harvest Report, we sit down with Pastor John Seay of Frederick Baptist Church in Frederick, Maryland to talk about something every growing church needs—but not every church prioritizes: structure, communication, and culture. Healthy growth doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentional leadership, clear systems, and a church environment where people feel welcomed, connected, and cared for. In this conversation, we discuss: • Why administration is the foundation that supports lasting growth • How to cultivate a truly friendly and welcoming church • The importance of clear communication within a ministry • Navigating growth during a building program • Making wise use of your space, people, and resources If you’re involved in ministry at any level, this episode offers practical insight into building a church that doesn’t just grow—but grows well.

The Harvest Report, Ep. 5 - Pastor Terry Anglea, Realities of Ministry in Developing Countries

In this episode of The Harvest Report, Director Austin Reed sits down with Pastor Terry Anglea, longtime pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Bourbonnais, Illinois, to discuss the realities of ministry around the world and the vital relationship between missionaries and the churches that support them.Drawing from decades of pastoral leadership—and the personal experience of having a son and daughter serving as missionaries overseas—Pastor Anglea shares thoughtful insight into what life and ministry are truly like in developing countries. From unreliable transportation and poor infrastructure to the simple reality that even basic tasks can take far longer than expected, this conversation sheds light on challenges that missionaries regularly face on the field.But beyond the logistical difficulties, the discussion turns to the biblical foundation for missions support. Why does God’s design for the Great Commission require partnership between local churches and missionaries? What responsibility do churches have to support those sent to the field? And why do missionaries and churches ultimately need each other to see the gospel reach the world?Pastor Anglea also speaks candidly about the unique perspective of watching your own children serve Christ in foreign countries and the spiritual realities that come with that calling.This conversation offers a thoughtful and pastoral look at the work of missions and the partnership required to carry the gospel to the nations.
