Building Project
Some years ago, God deposited a word into Apostle Colin Nyathi’s heart about building God a house and dedicating it to God and it is from that word that Harvest House International Church was conceived.
If you build God a house, surely He will build yours!

Intercession & Interpreters: The intercession ministry is a ministry which is in charge of leading prayer before each of the services on Sundays. The members of the group are dedicated men and women who pray and fast within the church. The group also holds all-night prayers on Fridays fortnightly, praying for issues affectingindividuals, the church, the body of Christ and the country.
All services, but the Vernacular Service, are conducted in English, so this ministry is aslo in charge of interpreters, that is, those who interpret from English to a vernacular language to ensure that all are able to understand during the service.

Functions and Décor The Functions department is responsible for:
# Organising and coordinating all functions which are held in March August and December which are typically church conferences.
# Providing sundry services at church on a day-to-day basis and purchasing requirements for the services provided.
# Ensuring cleanliness and general upkeep of the church building
#Buying groceries for church lodges
The Décor Department on the other hand seeks to liven up, beautify and honor the house of the Lord. Elder T Mhlanga, who owns an interior décor company, makes it a point that the temple is spruced up. The decorations recognize the significant colors of the church which are blue, gold and white.
# Gold represents the divine nature, the celestial character of God. # Blue is taken from the ministry of Matthew. It is a heavenly color. # White is the background color which represents the purity of the Holy Spirit

Hospital Ministry Reaching out to people goes beyond the normal parameters. This ministry touches those in physical and emotional pain. A group of loving people visit hospitals to encourage, strengthen, and with the power of God declare healing upon the sick. The hospital ministry bridges the gap between the loneliness of fighting an illness and finding the peace and tranquility of God's grace.
Prayer, the vital force behind this ministry, opens doors for the Holy Spirit to move in a unique and special way in these patients' lives. Governed by the mood of restoring, the Holy Spirit restores the joy of those who are depressed, heals the wounds of those scarred and brings life to those in spiritual death.
Through the word of God shared by these men and women, the patients are sought out with most ardent zeal and intense exertion for restoration of their share in the heavenly kingdom. Many have received the salvation of God and have graced our church by being members.
Weddings
The wedding ministry supports and assists couples who are intending to marry with the preparations for their wedding day. The couples are assigned a mentor who will walk with them throughout the preparatory stage. This person will make sure that everything in the check list has been attended to. Once the couples come up with a date, a sub committee is created to assist them (usually per service). They regularly check on the planning which includes transportation on the day, decorations, catering, venue, payments etc. The department also caters for the counseling of the couples.

Single Parents this ministry is custom made for widows, widowers, the divorced and deserted. It is a department that plays a vital role in picking up those whose hearts are down, strengthening those who are broken and comforting those who have been hurt and rejected, and left with or without the responsibility of taking care of a child single handedly.
The ministry exists to provide and meet spiritual, emotional, mental rehabilitation, physical and material needs as mostly death and divorce leave one bruised and bitter. The ministry seeks to provide a place for deliverance, help and direction as life must go on.
Members are prayed with and encouraged to get married again if so be their desire, to join other ministries in the church and re-enter the political and circular world to attain what God has destined for the Single Parent.
Women's Ministry This ministry is specifically targeted at women at Harvest House International. The objectives of the ministry are :-
1. to equip women to grow and be established in the spirit through the teaching of the Word of God and prayer
2. to avail to women practical tools to enable them to function meaningfully as wives, mothers and career women
3. to develop a well rounded woman who is relevant to her society and the 21st century
To this end, the ladies ministry hosts monthly meetings where women are taught the Word and prayer, and are also involved in a host of other practical activities to equip women to function in the real world.
Harvest House is a prayer church, and thus, ladies meet each Wednesday to engage in prayer and intercession for the nation and nations of the world.

Men's Ministry PSALMS 25:12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.
The Men’s Ministry is a ministry that focuses on men and the challenges they face. This ministry was especially created to distinguish between ‘real men’ and ‘just men‘. Unlike ’just men’ , real men have a fear for God because with the fear of God comes great wisdom and hence these men have a zeal for God.
This ministry uplifts fathers, nurtures husbands, builds men financially, mentally and spiritually. They also address issues that affect men and share remedies on how to improve one's marriage and family life.
As the heads of the house, the men have taken it upon themselves to make sure that the house of God is in order in terms of structure and providing the material needs. They also strategize on how to tackle the challenges being faced in the building of the new structure. The men have built a strong foundation of integrity for the generations to come and their posterity.

Funerals 2nd Corinthians1:4
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
Governed by the scripture above, this ministry aims at comforting those who have lost their loved ones, praying for the families and helping them financially.
Together with his team, Elder Nyandoro, goes to help the deceased’s family in providing food and man power.
Within the group is the intercessory team which is dedicate to submitting the families’ needs unto God. This ministry also stretches its heart and delivers the Word of God in search for souls.
As God has comforted us in heaven, so shall we comfort our fellow brethren here on earth.
