About

Our mission is to develop, produce, and distribute multi-lingual Christian media to assist missionaries, churches, and Christian workers in evangelizing the lost until the return of our Lord.

Background

Harvest Productions was founded in 1975 by Don Ross to produce high-quality Christian videos for use as ministry tools, especially to those involved in foreign evangelism worldwide. To date, there are 36 titles and 48 different languages, distributed to over 100 countries. The wide array of genre include drama, documentaries, true stories, family and instructional programming.

Who We Are

Harvest Production Ministries (HPM) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization under the non-denominational VCY America, Inc. based in Milwaukee, WI. HPM is staffed by full-time and part-time Missionaries who receive no financial support from HPM; and a broad network of volunteers from around the globe. Film crews generally consist of free-lance, skilled technicians with a love for their trade and evangelism. Foreign language projects require our skilled translators to ensure everything is properly translated, idiomatic and correct. Local volunteer talent is used as much as possible for each production phase.

HPM does not pay any salaries. Our volunteers see their efforts as a ministry and do so at their own expense.  HPM’s President, Dennis Schermer, is a full-time missionary serving with Harvest Productions Ministries which requires him to raise his own support. This enables 100% of all tax deductible donations to go towards designated projects and/or budgets.

Our Future Directions

Harvest Productions has been morphed into Harvest Production Ministries to avoid confusion with several other non-aligned Harvest Production named organizations; and to reflect our ongoing transformational efforts to ensure relevance in 21st Century. We will continue to focus on providing high quality video tools for use worldwide in reaching the lost by Christian workers. Key to this vision is recruiting and training the next generation of leaders and specialists.

We actively seek strategic relationship with God’s people, churches, and Christian organizations to better understand video outreach needs, and to enable future projects with talent and resources of all kinds. If this is you, please contact us directly!

Today, HPM videos are not only available on DVD, they are also broadcast via satellite companies like, Sat 7 beaming to New Zealand, Indonesia and Arabic-speaking countries, National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) and TCT Broadcasters here in America. While DVD is still the preferred format in much of the world, our future is focused on the technology required to add a digital download and VOD capability to our media distribution portfolio.
