Pastor Joe and Mrs. Robyn Johnsick would like to thank you for honoring International Harvest Church with your visit. We are convinced of two things: that you’ll be blessed and that the Lord has great things in store for you! After almost 30 years of ministry, they have figured a few things out and understand how to pastor, coach, and mentor you to walk in God's very best!
Here's their short story:
In 1991, after fulfilling an enlistment in the US Air Force and subsequently graduating from Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Pastor Joe and Robyn returned to southern New Hampshire with the desire to follow God’s call on their lives to minister and demonstrate the great news of our salvation through Jesus Christ. Pastor Joe, or “PJ” as he is affectionally called, initially served as assistant and youth pastor at Household of Faith Christian Church in Amherst, New Hampshire.
In March of 1996, Pastor Joe felt called to start International Harvest Church (previously known as Goffstown Harvest Christian Church). During the course of his ministry, Pastor has been honored to serve and minister in over nine nations, in front of hundreds of thousands of people. He has witnessed the potential for city-wide and national impact of the gospel through the demonstrated miraculous and verifiable powers of heaven in Jesus’ name. Pastor is convinced that these marvelous displays of God can happen anywhere, including New England, which has been referred to as the "graveyard of pastors."
While serving as the Senior Pastor of IHC, Pastor Joe has earned numerous pilot licenses. These include the instrument and commercial pilot ratings, all flight instructor ratings, and then an Airline Transport Pilot rating. In 2002, at the Lord’s direction, Pastor Joe started Harvest Aviation Services LLC. It quickly expanded into a successful flight school and a premier crewing provider for Lear 30 series business jets. Harvest Aviation and the other business ventures he developed allowed him to support and increase his influence in both ministry and secular worlds.
Since selling his share of the company, Pastor Joe has since been additionally "typed" and still serves as a captain on privately owned and operated Dassault Falcon 50 and Bombardier Challenger 604/605/650 business jets.
Aviation remains an integral part of this ministry. His business involvement, as well as his passion to see all of us experience the blessings that God has demonstrated are ours, has instigated this church to lead in multiple arenas. Pastor is aware that as children of God, we all carry greatness inside of us.
IHC has been built and designed to minister to this incredible potential.
