YWAM-Faith Harvest Helpers Annual Report 2016
2 YWAM-FHH Annual Report 2016
In March of 2006, we completed all requirements and became Faith Harvest Helpers
(FHH). In March of 2015, we became YWAM-Faith Harvest Helpers (YWAM – FHH). In
March of 2016 YWAM-FHH purchased 30 acres in South West Olympia for a new base.
YWAM - FHH is a faith based, non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization located in the
Pacific Northwest. Our local focus consists of food banks located in Lacey, WA and in
Redmond, OR. We receive surplus fish from the State of Washington which is distributed
as frozen fillets through these food banks and other local feeding programs. We also
receive salmon from the Pacific Northwest Tribes, which is canned and shipped to those
in need around the world. We are dedicated to those in need locally and abroad
through missionary organizations.
During 2016, we had three YWAM-FHH workers / supporters (Michael Keely, John
Stocker, Jim-Mike Ames) go to be with the Lord. In the summer of 2016, a week-long
review of the vision, mission, and purpose statements was conducted with the staff. In
August the staff began the YWAM Secondary School of Biblical Studies (SBS), a certified
school of the University of the Nations.
I would like to thank the board and our volunteers for their many hours of selfless
service.
In Jesus Service Always,
Paul

Introduction
Founded in 2006, YWAM Faith Harvest Helpers (YWAM-FHH) has been gleaning food for
many years, to provide food to five counties (Thurston, Lewis, Grays Harbor, Pierce and
Mason) in Washington and Redmond, Oregon. Located in Thurston County,
Washington and operated by Christian believers, YWAM-FHH gleans food that would be
otherwise wasted and provides it to feeding programs, food banks, and ministry
outreaches. YWAM-FHH is run on volunteer power and donations. We are a mercy
ministry organization that responds to the hunger needs of Washington, Oregon and
globally to those in need. Since 2009, we have also developed a canning operation
providing canned salmon from the Native Americans for the hungry of the world.
Volunteers are encouraged to help for an hour or two, a day, a week or a month!

School of Biblical Studies
Valorie Davidson - Administrator
A small group of dedicated
students began our School of
Biblical Studies. This is a 2-
year program that is
conducted in an online
format. An inductive bible
study approach is taught, in
which students observe
what the text says and then
let it shape their beliefs.
“ I’ve been studying the bible nearly all my life and this study has
opened up wonderful new things in God’s word that I have never seen
before!”
Rightly dividing the Word of Truth
Hearing God's Voice through His Word
Life Changing

Missionary Support
YWAM-Faith Harvest Helpers supports two additional ministries located in Guatemala
and South Africa. These ministries provide income for those who otherwise would not
be able to support themselves. We are very happy and blessed to be able to partnering
in this way.
Guatemalan Bolas
Working with Proyecto Fe, and missionary Pam Chevalier, we purchase these exquisite
works of art which are hand-made by Mayans in the Lake Atitlan region of Guatemala.
Families are struggling to live 5000-7000 feet high in the volcanic, Western Guatemalan
Mountains, some in homes made of corn stalks. We sell them at events, bazaars and in
stores across the country. They are also available in our gift shop. The proceeds help
approximately 100 families.
Justice Dolls
Dave & JoyLynn Landshut
The Justice Doll is a job creation program, restoring hope and
dignity to African women suffering with HIV/AIDS. We believe
all individuals have a voice! The justice doll seeks to identify
and raise awareness of issues of Injustice, which aim to
mobilize people to action. The justice doll is a powerful
expression, representing your voice.
Like the bolas, we sell the justice dolls at events across the
country and in our gift shop.
