Harvest of God/HOG International Evangelism
Establishment: HoG is an online Bible education and evangelism and talent search aid union founded by Alexander Virtanen, a 23-year-old Finnish man and first started as Alexander Once Family (AO Family). The HoG officially started its service in the year 2021 by recruiting and training other members of the founding assembly from all over the world. The founding members are Alexander Virtanen from Finland, Kim Phoblet from Belgium, Tegene Garedew from Ethiopia, Pastor Julius Muwema from Kenya, Uche Aniok from Spain, Shiva from Nepal and Enoch Alex from Uganda. The HoG changed/discovered its new name in September 2022 when Alexander traveled to Ethiopia and Kenya and held a free lunch for the poor and street dwellers to spread the gospel. At this time, the ministry got off social media for the first time and reached people in person, so it became more popular and accepted in every country. Currently, the ministry consists of more than 200 ministers from different countries and it is an international organization that is planning evangelism programs in each country.

Vision:
It is to double the current number of gospel believers worldwide in 25 years, from 2.3 billion to 5 billion.

Mission:
HOG is a ministry focused on evangelism, and by recruiting, preparing and deploying workers for this work, it is to reach the parts of society that have not received the attention of the gospel at the international level.

Until Everyone Knows | Evangelism
We have all been commissioned to know God and make Him known. Telling people about Jesus is central to the Christian life. This can happen across the globe and across the street. This calling doesn’t end…until everyone knows. Mark 16:15 “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

Made to Move | Discipleship
God made each person with an identity to live in and a purpose to fulfill. It’s so exciting to see people come to that realization and begin this amazing journey of being a Christ follower. We must be reminded daily that following after Jesus never means standing still, there is always a Next Step...we are made to move. Acts 17:28 “For in Him we live and move and have our being…”

Because He Gave | Generosity
Everything we have is because of the love and sacrifice of the Father. The sooner we realize that we give and live generous lives because He gave first, the sooner we can live an abundant and blessed life. 1 John 4:19 “We love because He first loved us.”

Better Together | Biblical Community
We have all been called and created to do life together in Biblical Community. This was Gods plan for the church and also for you as a Christ follower. When we realize that we were never meant to do life alone, we can begin to grow and be strengthened by each other...we are better together. Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”

Saved to Serve | Serving
Something happens within us when we realize that Jesus didn’t come to be served, but to serve. In the same way, we, as followers of Christ, should first look to serve the needs of others the same way that Jesus served us...we are saved to serve. Matthew 20:28 “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
