Gathering around a meal opens opportunities for hospitality and allows one to learn the history and heart of their hosts. Even more importantly, as Christians, these times of feasting provide opportunities for honest conversations about the gospel as we point others to the Bread of Life. In her book Hearts for the Harvest, Jayn Parenti has woven together the strands of missionary biography, cultural travelogue, and delicious recipes, providing readers with a volume through which they can travel the world, pray for the work of missionaries serving in various corners of the globe, and taste the nations!\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eRyan Martin\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirector of Missions and Operations, Lightbearers MinistriesAuthor of Holding the Rope: How the Local Church Can Care for Its Sent Ones\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT2] [ENDORSEMENT3]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eWritten by the daughter of gifted missionary parents who served in the Philippines, Hearts for the Harvest: Inviting Global Missions to Our Table, by Jayn Parenti, is truly a one-of-a-kind publication! Her idea of blending missionaries’ testimonies and details of the countries in which they serve with recipes for meals enjoyed in their respective culinary cultures is not only unique but unprecedented! As a culinary specialist herself, with a passion to see people reached for the Lord Jesus Christ worldwide, she has researched and meticulously described these international recipes that are enjoyed by both the missionaries described and the people who reside in the various countries to which God has called them. This book will nourish both body and soul as you enjoy its delicious recipes and rejoice over what God is doing through faithful missionaries, whom he has called to proclaim and explain the gospel, edify new believers, and fulfill their responsibility to implement Christ's final command (Matt 28:19–20).\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eDavid R.

Growing up as a missionary kid herself, she loves and “holds the rope” well for those on the front lines who are daily living their lives so others around them can meet Jesus and grow in him. I have been on the receiving end of her delicious meals dozens of times, from recipes all over the world, and can always taste the love that she throws into each dish! This book will be a great tool for families, homeschool groups, community groups, and schools to use as they learn about different cultures, pray for the people, and taste the food from those countries! What an amazing gift this is to the body of Christ! As Matthew 9:38 says, “Lord of the harvest, we pray that you send out laborers into your harvest field.” Praying that this book is a tool for heaven to be even more crowded.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003ePastor Lee and Ruth Epstein\u003c\/cite\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew Heights Church, Fayetteville, Arkansas\u003c\/span\u003e [\/ENDORSEMENT4] [TOC]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow to Use This Book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCooking Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1- The Philippines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2- Mali\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3- Egypt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4- Bangkok, Thailand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5- Papua New Guinea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7- Tanzania\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8- Albania\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9- Ethiopia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10- South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11- Kazakhstan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12- Nepal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13- Puerto Rico\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14- Scotland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15- Taiwan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e16- Sao Paulo, Brazil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e17- Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18- Colombia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e19- Kenya\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20- Jordan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e21- Zambia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e22- Peru\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e23- Vanuatu\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e24- Myanmar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25- Lebanon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e26- Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e27- Chiang Mai, Thailand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e28- Tijuana, Mexico\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e29- Mozambique\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30- Cambodia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e31- Solomon Islands\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e32- Uganda\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e33- Curitiba, Brazil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e34- Madagascar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25- France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex of Recipes by Country\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex of Ingredients\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/TOC]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Carey Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49519742320899,"sku":"9781645086413","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0052\/5615\/1158\/files\/Hearts-Harvest_CVR-Front_1.jpg?v=1787695201","url":"https:\/\/missionbooks.org\/products\/hearts-for-the-harvest","provider":"MissionBooks.org","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
