Tynan & Lydia Barnes: Missionaries
MEXICO/USA
Welcome to The King’s Harvest
For more than a decade, God gave our family the privilege of serving in Central Mexico among communities in the region known as the Circle of Silence, where many people had little opportunity to hear the Gospel. Through The King’s Harvest, we focused on helping people come from spiritual darkness into the light of Jesus, grow in their faith, and become disciples who make disciples.
As God has led our family into a new season in the United States, our mission remains unchanged. We continue to invest in disciples, encourage local leaders, and share the hope of Jesus through relationships, teaching, and discipleship. Our desire is simple: Love God. Love Others. Make Disciples.

MEET PEDRO AND HIS FAMILY
“From Darkness to Light: Pedro’s Journey of Faith.”
Pedro grew up in a small, rural village in San Luis Potosí, where the weight of spiritual darkness lingered. Like many in his community, he was raised in a family where Catholicism was practiced, but the transformative power of the Gospel was unknown. Though he knew about God, Pedro never truly understood who Jesus was or how He could change his life. His days were filled with uncertainty, and like many, he was stuck in the struggles of life, seeking meaning but finding none.
Pedro felt the emptiness of living without the hope of Christ, a feeling that so many around him shared. His heart was heavy with the burdens of life—without peace or purpose, trapped in a cycle of daily survival. This darkness, though invisible to others, weighed on him and those around him.
As he became more involved in his community, Pedro began to see the struggles of those around him—the same spiritual uncertainty and emotional heaviness that he himself had carried for so long. He began to sense a deep longing in his heart for something more. He wanted to make a difference—not just in his own life, but in the lives of his neighbors, his friends, and especially his family.
But where could he start? How could he bring change to a place where people were content with their way of life, not realizing the deep, life-giving power of the Gospel?
That all began to change when his Aunt introduced him to Tynan and Lydia Barnes, missionaries with The King’s Harvest. Earlier in the week she had accepted Jesus as her sufficient Saviour. She saw in her nephew, a man who was hungry for hope, and she knew that the Gospel was the answer. She invited him to a small discipleship group, but knowing Pedro’s busy schedule, she even took the step of changing the time and day of the group so that he could attend.

Your Partnership Can Make an Eternal Impact
Pedro’s journey is just one of many stories unfolding in Central Mexico. Our mission is to help people like Pedro find their purpose, grow in their faith, and share the love of Christ with those around them.
And just like Pedro, you can make an impact in your own community and in an international community. His journey has inspired others in his village, and even his wider community, to begin seeking out the transformative power of the Gospel. Pedro’s family, once disconnected and uncertain, is now a thriving community of believers—discipling and empowering others to do the same.
We need your help to continue this work—whether through forming new discipleship groups in your community, prayer support, or financial partnership.
Together, we can make an eternal difference in the lives of families, communities, and generations to come.
