… So They May Know Jesus …

“Karibu”, in Swahili, means welcome!​

Joy in the Harvest is a Christian mission dedicated to serving Christ in Africa. Our motto is ” … so they may know Jesus… “
Founded in 1992, by Lowell and Claudia Wertz, we have seen God at work in incredible ways!

Our mission believes that as Christians we should render assistance to the poor, sick and needy. The main base of overseas mission operations in Africa is located in Kigoma, Tanzania, on the shore of Lake Tanganyika.
