History of Mission Harvest America, Inc.

Mission Harvest grew out of an organization called Christian Veterans Association (CVA) that was started by Dr. Dewey Painter. In 1991 Dr. Painter and two friends, Dr. Fred Boyett and Mr. Richard Coale, were led by Dr. Painter's vision to have a Veterans Association based on Biblical Principles and they started the association. It was only natural that CVA be a service organization and the opportunities grew for CVA to serve others. At the start of Operation Desert Shield in 1991 they began to send "Share [care] Packages" to deployed military personnel.

In 1994 we started helping missionaries ship their supplies to the mission field. The effort to help missionaries grew fast as word spread that there was someone who cared and would work hard to find economical ways of getting the containers shipped and materials donated. In fact it grew so much that in 1997 the organization divided into two groups. CVA remained helping veterans and military personnel while the other group, now known as Mission Harvest America began to assist Missionaries, Churches and Agencies all over the globe. Since that beginning some 3600 missionaries, churches or groups have been assisted in 51 countries. Over 29 million pounds of materials have been shipped with a value in excess of 100 million dollars.

Supporting the Troops- Remember they are our troops and need our support.

Humanitarian Aid- The excesses of America enhance the life of the poor of many states and nations.

Water Filters- Many Mission Medical teams provide medical treatment, however, they cannot give them clean pure water so that the medical problems don't come back. With the Mission Filter we can provide a family of five fresh clean pure water for one full year on just one kit.
