Welcome To Gleaning the Harvest

Welcome to Gleaning the Harvest! We know you are going to be encouraged by what you find here. Gleaning the Harvest is a ministry founded by Matt & Jacque Dixon, but truly a ministry of the Body of Christ. Here you have the opportunity to fulfill what James calls “pure religion”.

James 1:27
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

Through different events over the past several years, we have felt a burden for our dear friends who are living without a husband or father for their children, either through divorce, bad choices or widowhood and still keeping to the Titus 2 admonition to remain a Keeper at Home and home school mom. We also have felt a burden for single moms who wish they could stay home and home school but see no way to do so. We understand that sometimes the burden is so great that moms must go out and get a job, but, as a wife and mom who is staying home, following what we believe to be the LORD’s plan for women, we asked ourselves why it should be different for a single mom. Why can’t we lessen the burden?

In searching Scripture, we find that it is the Body’s responsibility as much as we are able to help these moms remain in the home, being a Keeper at Home and home school mom. The WORD tells us that God’s people are to take up for the fatherless, the widow, and the stranger. (Deuteronomy 24) Though there are several classifications for widow, we do believe we are to help these moms – these children- and save them from a life without mom at home and them in the public school system. Many times, that is the only option these moms see. Through this searching and finding came Gleaning the Harvest as a means to reach out to the community for support.

Please take some time to familiarize yourself with our site. We invite you to catch the vision that we have here at Gleaning the Harvest. Please take time to Meet The Families and see what the LORD would have you do to partner with us.
