about us
Welcome to Victory Harvest Outreach:
We want to welcome you to our website:
Our goal is to provide an atmosphere where people from all walks of life can come into the body of Christ and freely worship God and in His presence and be transformed from glory to glory!
Our greatest desire is for people to receive the burning fire of the Holy Spirit and to go out loving, with the love of Christ, transforming lives around them as they go.
We seek to provide multi-faceted ministries that minister to the needs of people of all races, nationalities, and ages. We believe people consist of a three part being that has a spirit, soul (mind, will & emotions), and body. (reference 1Thessalonians.5:23) Discipleship in these three areas help us to be over-comers.
This ministry believes in the God-given, pre-ordained potential in every person. We believe in the family and are committed to helping people discover and develop their potential to the fullest. They are dedicated to raising up an army of saints that reveal the kingdom of God, manifest the glory of God and model the life of God in their daily purpose and walk. Since the passing of Apostle Greg on May 17th, 2022, the family continues the legacy that he and his wife have built since May 22, 2000.
In the year 2025, many new transitions happened to Victory Harvest Ministries of Savannah, once called" The Bridge Church". First a name change with their DBA( doing business as). It's now, dba Victory Harvest Outreach. Secondly, we opened our doors to Grace Christian Academy at our facility. The K-5 school has been in existence for over 10 years and approached us with needing a new building to call their home. This has been a dream for our pastor for years. She has always believed that education to the spirit, soul & body is a vital necessity in these last days. Fall of 2025 is their first year here. Thirdly, our pastor was approached with a letter from a pastor in PA., that was coming to Savannah under the direction of the Lord to start a church and minister to the Korean people here.
"If you call yourselves the 'Church to all Nations' how could you say 'NO' to this opportunity to open the doors to the Koreans who are needing a church." When our pastor sought the Lord and wise counsel, that was the response! So, Savannah First Korean Church was born, January 2025. Their church meets Sunday mornings at 11A.M.with Pastor Edwin Lee and his family.
On a more personal note, our Pastor Donna who has been a widow for three years serving the community faithfully has married Gene Chervenak. This was a fulfillment of a prophecy given to her in Israel March 2024, saying, "God has told me to tell you to open your heart to "Love again" for He is bringing you a husband." Therefore, she is taking this next year to minister to her new husband and grow deeper in Christ's mission of soul winning. Once a month they reach out to students with "College Night," third Saturday at 7:00P.M. And She also serves as a chaplain to Grace Christian Academy's students. Under the direction of the Holy Spirit she has stepped over from pastoring The Bridge Church to evangelism (Ephesians 4:11-13). The church is now called Victory Harvest Outreach. Partnering with Minister Donna Marie the Grace Christian school and Savannah First Korean Church are serving the community through these outreaches. Brother Gene has the 'Gift of Helps' as a ministry and enjoys working behind the seen to make sure things run smoothly for Minister D.M. Chervenak. They are a great team!
The scripture says that we must be the salt and light of the earth to those around us; imparting into lives, communities, and by doing this the nations will be transformed for our Lord!
We invite you to come be transformed with us!
Our Leader:
Shepherdess Donna Marie Chervenak
It was prophesied to me at the age of 18 that I would go to Bible College. My response was like Sara’s in the Bible, I laughed. However, at the age of 30 with 3 children ages 6years, 5years, and 9 months, and one unknown yet on the way I was college bound. I was blessed to be in World Harvest Bible College, today called Valor Christian College, along with my late husband Greg Van Gorp.
After graduating in 1998, from World Harvest Bible College in Columbus, Ohio my husband and I began to seek God for direction. We received our Licensing to preach from Dr. Lester Sumrall and met a man there that asked us to preach on his local T.V. public access channel in Cincinnati, Oh. Later, we saw how God used this obedience to open a door in Savannah, GA with local cable TV.
Also in 1998, we decided to make a visit to some friends in Charleston, SC and then Savannah, GA. Upon arriving in Savannah we felt the presence of God consume our car. We received a prophecy. It became what we learned later, a total description of the leading spirit over Savannah and what we were to do. We knew God had answered our prayers for a location to start a ministry.
In our excitement, we put our house up for sale with a realtor and started packing. Nothing happened. We took it off the market and raised the price $10,000 and decided to sell it ourselves. As we continued to fast and pray, the days turned into a year. I remember our kids saying “are we moving to Georgia mom?” By faith I would answer “yes.”
The obedience to a prophetic word of a ten dollar seed at ten o’clock, made the difference. God spoke to my spirit one day saying, ‘There will be an elderly couple that will come up your driveway unannounced, (unexpected) that will buy your house with a cash deal.” This gave hope but I never spoke it aloud; weariness set in until one Sunday night at World Harvest Church, Pastor Rod Parsley gave a prophecy to give a “$10.00 dollar seed at 10:00 o’clock”. Pastor Rod said, "That it will bring you in 3 days the promised breakthrough that you've forgotten about because of your long wait." Sure enough, three days later an elderly couple knocked on my door and bought my house as a "Cash Deal."
We arrived in Savannah, September 27, 1999, Seventeen months after our 1st visit. God is faithful. He responds to faith. We started ministering on the streets of downtown Savannah to anyone who we came upon. Our Ministry was incorporated in October 2000, our first service held in an office store front in December 2000. God saw a no quitting' sense in Greg and a determination to work construction by day and church meetings by night. On our church's tenth year anniversary God gave us a miracle with an ability to have fourteen acres and build a New Church House.
I Chronicles 17:9, 10. Today, Victory Harvest Ministries is where I enjoy ministering to the children at Grace Christian Academy and evangelizing , along with my new husband Gene Chervenak.
DEACON
The word Deacon comes from the Greek word "diakonos" and the meaning is "servant" . A Deacon is not assigned to one gender. The Apostle Paul teaches women can serve as deacons because the Gk word "gyne" can mean either " wife or woman". We see this in 1Tim.3:11, even though it has many interpretations regarding "their wives" TBC agree that scripture allows for women deacons without threatening disobedience to the commands of 1Tim. 2:11-12 & 1Cor.14:33-35.Since a servant's heart is a quality; along with the biblical qualifications for both elder & deacon which are stated in Acts 6:2,4 & 1Tim.3:8-13. An Elder is called to teach & must not be a new convert. Following scripture of
1 Tim.3:2-6,and the deacons primary responsibility is to look after the practical needs of the church body. Many people serve already in this deacon compactivity but just don't have a title.
