What are people saying about Urban Harvest Ministries?

"I know of no one who has greater compassion for and greater expertise in ministering to the disenfranchised that exist in the urban community. The ministry offered by Urban Harvest Ministries is holistic in every way – from evangelization to a strategy to involve productive urban citizens."
Dr. R. Lamar Vest, President/CEO, American BIble Society

"It has been my pleasure and honor to have been associated with Dr. Tom Grassano for approximately 20 years. I first was greatly impressed with his vision and commitment to come to the Bronx and plant a ministry in one of the most depressed neighborhoods in the nation. National Geographic once described the area of the Bronx where the Harvest Center is located as the "National capital of despair." Dr. Grassano is not only a man of integrity, but a humble servant of the Lord who will and has done whatever it takes to bring Christ's life and love to the hurting of some of the neediest cities of our nation."
Rev. Nick Savoca, Director, YWAM Metro NY

"Dr. Tom Grassano is passionate about taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to the "hard places" in our world. Under Tom's leadership, Urban Harvest Ministries is being mightily used of God to transform lives and neighborhoods, and his vision and passion is a catalyst that is causing many others to want to be part of this kind of transformative ministry."
Dr. Allen McWhite, Director of Global Missions, North Greenville University

"In a time when many ministers are striving for personal attention, the constant focus [of this ministry] is on increasing the love of God and neighbor among all, especially for those living in the shadows of poverty. Dr. Grassano's ministry is not about "look at me," but directing our vision to the impact of urban decay on brothers and sisters in need of help and hope, and a faith that redeems and reconciles."
Dr. Jim Pitts, Author/Former Chaplain, Furman University

"The impact made in the South Bronx by Urban Harvest Ministries is life changing. I have seen first hand how men, woman, children, and teens have had their lives turned around. I have seen people from one of the most devastated areas in America find peace and purpose in their lives. In a time when few will make the sacrifice it takes for urban communities, Dr. Tom Grassano and Urban Harvest Ministries are getting the job done."
