Testimonials from Pastors:

Pastor Glenn Metzler, Faith Christian Church, Gardiner, Maine

HFC provides the ability for our congregation to do much more than we could do alone, I.E. church planting and supporting mission work around the world. These opportunities not only help to expand God’s Kingdom, but also expand our vision beyond our local ministries. One of my greatest needs as a pastor is to also have a pastor, someone to whom I can turn to for counsel. Henry, Our Overseer has done an excellent job of filling that role for me. Our congregation feels more secure as a result of this accountability and is happy knowing that these pastoral needs are being met for me. I have been greatly blessed in our relationship with HFC!

Pastor John S. Hannah, The Shepherd’s Servants, Denver, Colorado

Our young church is very grateful to have been part of HFC for over two years. We are mutually encouraged – as well as equipped in practical ways – by the fellowship of other pastors and their families seeking to follow Jesus and reach the lost. In addition, the regular prayer, counsel and visits of Henry and the HFC leadership has been invaluable. We truly thank God for the blessing of being a part of this extended church family.

Pastor Mike and Debi Gaiotti, Faith Mountain Fellowship, Canton, PA

Greetings in Jesus’ Name!
My name is Mike Gaiotti, Pastor of Faith Mountain Fellowship in Wheelerville (near Canton), PA. My wife Debi and I have been involved in some capacity of ministry since May, 1988 when, after graduating from Bible College I became a youth pastor. From 1995 to the present, we have served in a pastoral role in our local congregation.

For many years we had been quite lonely in ministry. We had heard of ministry fellowships providing vital relationships, coaching, mentoring, accountability etc. but this always seemed like a “fairy tale” while we had no choice but to go it alone.

In the late 90’s the Lord orchestrated the crossing of our path with the Buckwalters. Deb and I became acquainted with the Buckwalters through involvement in a training retreat for church planters that they helped to give leadership to over a period of a few years. Toward the end of this time, our church came to a place of seeking new relationship and oversight. Our church unanimously and happily agreed to partner with H.F.C. and we have NEVER regretted the decision— nor have ever been disappointed by the unique oversight of the Buckwalters and Harvest Fellowship.

The Buckwalters and the Oversight team have stood with us through thick and thin, maintained… pursued a vibrant relationship with Deb, me and Faith Mountain. We (that means All of us!) absolutely love and cherish our Oversight couple! We were transformed from “loners” to co-owners of a vision, mission and fellowship far beyond ourselves and our previous experience.

More personally, I recently walked through an extremely difficult time of stress…but I did not walk alone! Brother Henry lifted me as a Father does a Son he loves. He prayed, encouraged, counseled and at one point dropped everything to visit me at my lowest time. While I’m working on the spiritual son part, Brother Henry has truly been a Father to Me. I am eternally grateful and cannot express adequately what an amazing blessing Harvest Fellowship has been and remains to me. Thank God for Henry, Millie and H.F.C.
