ABOUT THERISMOS GOSPEL PROJECT
Called to the Harvest
Therismos (the-rē-smo's) is the Greek word for harvest—the act of reaping; figuratively, the gathering of men and women into the Kingdom of God.
Therismos Gospel Project was founded with a desire to see the Church Body prayerful, equipped, and actively participating in the work of the harvest and the Great Commission.
PRAY. EQUIP. MOBILIZE.
WHY WE EXIST
For the Work of the Harvest
Jesus looked upon the crowds with compassion and said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.”
We believe every follower of Christ has a part to play in the work of the harvest.
Therismos Gospel Project exists to equip and mobilize the Church Body for that work—believers who are rooted in Christ, moved by His love, and prepared to pray, share the Gospel, and make disciples.
We partner with churches, groups, and believers to provide biblical resources and practical equipping that strengthen the Church Body and encourage active participation in the Great Commission.
WHAT GUIDES US
A Biblical Mandate for the Church
We believe the Great Commission belongs to the whole Church. Every believer has been invited to participate in God's work—proclaiming the Gospel, making disciples, carrying the message of reconciliation, and using what God has given them to build up the Body of Christ.
Therismos Gospel Project was established from this conviction: the Church is not meant to remain passive, but to be equipped, strengthened, and prepared for the work God has placed before us.
Our role is to come alongside the Church Body—helping believers move from knowing the mission of Christ to actively participating in it.

OUR VISION
The Church in Motion
We believe the Church Body is a beautiful, living and active organism—many members united in Christ and called to reflect His light in the world.
Our vision is to see believers rooted in truth, walking in the freedom Christ provides, and growing in confidence to live out their faith wherever God has placed them.
The work of the harvest is not limited to a mission field overseas or to those called to vocational ministry. It is the calling of every believer, wherever we are—within our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, churches, and communities.
When the Church understands this, the Gospel is not simply something we know or something we send others to proclaim. It becomes something we live, share, and multiply right where God has placed us.
The Harvest is Wherever God Has Placed Us.
In our homes. In our workplaces. In our neighborhoods. In our churches. In our communities.
OUR STORY
A Shared Burden for the Church
Therismos Gospel Project was founded in 2019 by Dane and Paola Hall from a shared desire to see the Church Body equipped and actively participating in the Great Commission.
From the beginning, the heart of Therismos was centered on the harvest—not simply encouraging believers to know the mission of Christ, but helping equip them to live it wherever God had placed them.
Through partnerships with local churches and groups of believers, TGP began serving through prayer gatherings, evangelism equipping, discipleship training, Gospel-sharing opportunities, outreach, and practical biblical resources designed to help believers put their faith into action.
As the work developed, so did our understanding of what it means to care for and strengthen the Body of Christ. That journey would eventually lead to another expression of TGP's work: Preserved International, focused specifically on caring for pastors and missionaries.
AN EXPRESSION OF OUR CALLING
Caring for Those Serving in the Harvest
As the work of Therismos Gospel Project developed, we became increasingly aware of another need within the Body of Christ: those serving others also need places where they can be strengthened, cared for, and restored.
Pastors and missionaries often spend their lives pouring into others while navigating the spiritual, relational, and emotional demands that come with their calling. Caring for them became a natural extension of our desire to strengthen the Church Body and support the work of the harvest.
Preserved International was established as a focused initiative of Therismos Gospel Project to provide Christ-centered care and counseling for pastors and missionaries.
Through Preserved, we care for those serving in the harvest—helping strengthen the people behind the calling so they can continue serving from a place of greater health and wholeness.
