ABOUT
HARVEST OF LIFE
MISSION & HISTORY
Our Beginnings
Harvest of Life (HOL) was founded by Rev. Murl Gwynn in Texas with a vision to record the Bible in indigenous languages and dialects for missionaries serving remote villages in Latin America and Africa. Volunteers built recording studios and assisted missionaries wherever needed. In 1987, Dan and Marilyn Nase joined the ministry, developing Christian illustrated magazines in Spanish called Foto Novela, providing culturally relevant evangelistic literature to reach hearts in a new and engaging way.
Prison Ministry
Over 20 years ago, the Nases met Dan Evans, who had felt a calling to prison ministry in Florida. Together, they began leading Bible studies and worship services for both Spanish and English-speaking inmates, while sending Spanish Bibles to Federal Detention Centers and ICE facilities nationwide. In 2015, God directed Dan Evans to take on the leadership of HOL, expanding its focus from evangelizing Spanish-speaking communities through literature to reaching all incarcerated individuals in North Florida with the hope and message of Jesus Christ.
Harvest of Life Today
Since 2016, under Dan Evans’ leadership, Harvest of Life has grown to include over 60 volunteers from churches across Florida. HOL now conducts monthly worship services in 22 institutions and teaches weekly at Gadsden CF, with South and West Teams extending the ministry’s reach.
With Eddie and Estella Gomez assisting with Spanish correspondence and Bible distribution, God continues to expand the ministry’s territory. Harvest of Life remains committed to evangelizing, discipling, and bringing hope to the incarcerated, trusting in God’s guidance for the future of this His ministry.
