Hokkien Harvest

Our Roots: A Global Vision

Hokkien Harvest is a movement born from a deep burden for the millions of Hokkien-speaking people across the globe who have yet to hear the Gospel in their own heart language.

We believe that the message of God’s love is most powerful when spoken in the “language of the heart,” and for over two and a half decades, we have been dedicated to making that a reality in Singapore and beyond.

The Founder’s Vision: Rev. Robert Burris

The seeds of Hokkien Harvest were first sown through the life and ministry of Rev. Robert Burris and his wife, Mrs. Donna Burris. Based in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Rev. Burris founded International Hokkien Harvest with a singular, burning passion: to reach Taiwanese souls for Christ. His strategic approach to evangelism and his commitment to the Hokkien community became the blueprint for a ministry that would eventually reach across oceans.

The Singapore Connection: A Divine Appointment

The bridge to Singapore was built in 1999. During a mission trip to Kaohsiung, Pastor Gilbert Sng had a providential meeting with Rev. Robert Burris. Pastor Gilbert was deeply inspired by Rev. Burris’s dedication and the strategic way he approached Hokkien evangelism. Seeing the fruit of the ministry in Taiwan, Pastor Gilbert felt a clear calling that Singapore needed this same dedicated focus.

25 Years of Grace

Over the past 25 years, we have witnessed God’s faithfulness and guidance at every turn. From our early days at Changi Baptist Church with the support of Rev. Hong Tiong Peng, to our extensive collaborations with Rev. Oh Beng Khee and Mrs. Mary Oh, the ministry has grown from a small seed into a flourishing tree.
Today, we continue to honor the original vision sparked by Rev. Burris. We remain committed to ensuring that the Hokkien-speaking community in our city-state and across Southeast Asia experiences the overflowing grace of God.
