Why the work has to outlive you
A ministry that only works when one particular person is in the room is a ministry with an expiry date. On sharing the load before it forces the question.

ONE APP
Giving, campaigns, pledges, updates and every supporter's record. One subscription, under your name.
Publish your own PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, Revolut and Wise links on one giving page. Harvest is never in the flow — no platform fee, nothing held.
Run a campaign with a goal, a cover image and a progress bar — on a public page that carries the accounts your church actually uses and opens without an account.
A pledge campaign takes the commitment now and follows it until it is met — a ledger of pledged against paid, donor by donor, with the status worked out from the numbers.
Announcements, polls, photos and comments in a space that belongs to you — without a Facebook group deciding who sees Sunday's post.
A real publishing platform with the full SEO stack built in — so people searching for a church in your town actually land on your page.
Register, check in or fill a form and a contact appears with the history attached. One person, one row — deduplicated by email, with every gift you record landing on it. Connect Gmail and email them without leaving the dashboard.
Post in one line, pray with one tap — and requests clear themselves after 30 days, by design.

Your accounts, not ours
Online giving for churches — without Harvest taking a cut
Publish your own PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, Revolut and Wise links on one giving page. Harvest is never in the flow — no platform fee, nothing held.
Church donation software should not sit between the giver and the church. Most platforms sit between a church and the gift and take 2–5% of it, forever. Harvest does not sit there at all — a member taps the account your church already uses, and the money goes to it. There is nothing for us to route, nothing to hold and nothing to take a share of. You pay a flat subscription and nothing else.

A building fund isn't a GoFundMe
A number the whole church can watch.
Run a campaign with a goal, a cover image and a progress bar — on a public page that carries the accounts your church actually uses and opens without an account.
A building fund needs a figure the whole church can see moving. The campaign page carries the total, the goal and the story behind it — and beneath them, the accounts your church already takes gifts through. What comes in you record against the total, so the number on the page is one you can stand behind rather than one a processor decided.

Commit now, give later
Three hundred families, a thousand dollars each.
A pledge campaign takes the commitment now and follows it until it is met — a ledger of pledged against paid, donor by donor, with the status worked out from the numbers.
Churches don't just need a progress bar — they need 300 families committing $1,000 over two years. A pledge campaign tracks exactly that, with a status derived from the numbers, never a stale manual field.

Dignity, not a graveyard
A prayer wall that never becomes a graveyard.
Post in one line, pray with one tap — and requests clear themselves after 30 days, by design.
The person who asked can see that 14 people prayed. That is the whole emotional payload — and the wall stays current, because everyone is told it clears in 30 days before they post.

“I'm a missionary myself. I know what it's like to start a partner list and try to keep track of everything. I couldn't find one app that did it all, and paying for several subscriptions burns through money meant for the mission. Harvest puts it all in one place.”
