ABOUT

Multitudes are in the valley of decision between life and death, who will tell them before it is too late? Someone must be sent and we count it a privilege to be the vessel that God is using to train Fishers of Men to send them into the harvest fields. We train and send them out with the battle cry “All saved – none perish”. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 says, ^“This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” 2 Peter 3:9 says” The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

We have hosted hundreds of Mission teams that have traveled all over Mexico and El Salvador putting their Christian commitment into action. We have trained hundreds of Pastors in Cuba with amazing results! Since we began the International Harvesters Institute in 2001, we have impacted Mexico, El Salvador, and Cuba in even greater ways.

In areas where no local church exists, VCH strives to build a house of worship for new believers. David Blanchard has personally been a part of building over 55 churches. In endeavoring to fulfill the vision, Victorious Christian Harvesters is committed to see each soul that receives Christ, is nurtured and grows as a new believer. VCH directs every person that accepts the gospel message to a healthy local church in their city, working with many churches throughout Mexico, Cuba, and El Salvador. VCH has helped to plant two churches in El Salvador, 48 in Mexico, and is associated with 30 more in Mexico City. In Cuba, VCH has 50 churches and is affiliated with an additional 54 pastors!

In the year 2010, VCH began holding mass city-wide evangelistic training seminars and outreaches called “INVASIONS.” We begin with the local Pastoral Alliances where we present the vision for evangelizing their city for Christ. When we arrive in their city after much preparation we hold our Evangelism Training Seminars. We train for three days on how to win souls effectively, which includes evening sessions where we all ask for a heart for the lost. The second evening session is the power of the Gospel through the Holy Spirit. The third evening, we commission them to go out and do the works of JESUS. The unity among the believers that the INVASIONS produce is incredibly powerful.

So far from 2010 to 2018, VCH through INVASIONS has trained 37,939 believers from 4,898 different churches on how to share their faith. VCH has have raised up 3,477 Church Evangelism Teams who are still going out from their church to win the lost.

In 2018, through the VCH five-fold strategy and the help of their partners, they were able to share the Good news of Jesus Christ with 350,619 people and of those that heard the Good News 75,416 made salvation decisions for Jesus Christ!! They gave out 196,504 Bibles, New testaments & Gospels of John and they distributed 1,037,200 Gospel Tracts. They saw 5,237 filled with the Holy Spirit who went out in His power and prayed for the sick which resulted in 8,225 people who gave testimonies of the healing power of God.

David Blanchard was the director for Youth For Christ in Emporia, Kansas where he met his wife Donna. They have been married for 37 years and they have three grown children. Their oldest daughter, Rebecca is the founder of “Wings International” and has been living in Asia for the past ten years. Their second daughter, Christine and her husband Sethry, are pastors in Loveland, Colorado and they have three children. Their son, Jon is a Welding Engineer in Houston.

In Youth For Christ, David and Donna hosted mission trips. The cost of an oversea trip was more than the average youth could afford. They began to look for ways to get more youth onto the mission field where God could awaken a call. They contacted a ministry called Latin America Bible Church Mission in Mexico whom they later came to work with as missionaries. The cost for each teenager to go on a mission trip was dramatically reduced and more youth joined them on life changing mission trips south of the border.

The Blanchard’s were sent out of their local church of Victory Fellowship of Emporia, Kansas in 1986. They worked with LABCM for 6 years, where the Lord taught and prepared them for many things.

David Blanchard received a vision from the Lord in 1990 while praying. He saw the entire country of Mexico covered with ocean waves. When the waves went away they left Bibles all over the country. The Lord spoke to him to get His Word out. He asked the Lord, “How many Bibles?” The Lord replied, “How many souls do you want to be responsible for?” He replied, “I’m really not anybody but I would like to see ONE MILLION SOULS come into your Kingdom.” The Lord responded, “Then get ONE MILLION BIBLES OUT and win ONE MILLION SOULS.”

The Lord confirmed the time had come for the Blanchard’s to step out. David shared the vision with the leader of LABCM and they both agreed it was time for this new chapter to begin.

David and Donna Blanchard founded Victorious Christian Harvesters in April, 1992 in their garage with their three small children and a retired plumber and his wife. The Blanchard’s pursued the vision of One Million Bibles/One Million Souls reached their goal in July of 2016.
