"Reaching The Lost - Feeding The Sheep Since 1955"
Abundant Harvest Ministries
orn and raised in Flint, Michigan, Fred is a survivor
of the record‑breaking 1953 tornado which killed 136 people. His amazing
testimony telling how he was sucked up inside the funnel and how God
miraculously delivered him from death has inspired many to believe in Jesus
Christ as their Savior and Messiah.
Fred received a life changing experience
when he asked Yeshua (Jesus) to redeem him from his sins in 1955. He was
disowned by his family because of it. The Holy Spirit quickly called him to
preach the Word of God to this dying world. Churches quickly noticed the
anointing of the Spirit of God upon this young Jewish preacher, and Fred was
invited to speak in some of the largest churches in the state. As a result of
his Godly example, his parents soon were saved and became active in Gospel work.
Frederick Shmidt served for eight years on the
board of Beulah Heights Bible College in Atlanta, Georgia, a college of high
accreditation. He and his dear wife, Darlene also pastored in Iowa, Oregon and
Michigan.
The Holy Spirit thrust Frederick into the
preaching of revival crusades in 1960. His crusades, camp meetings, ministers'
conferences and prophecy conventions have carried him to twenty-four countries,
with many denominations inviting him to speak to them.
As a sought after Middle East expert and
commentator, Frederick Shmidt's prophecy up date crusades and conventions
are packed with the latest developments and ministerial level information
which is simplified so even the novice can understand the scenario of God's
prophetic plan. He has hand painted a huge 110' pictorial chart to illustrate
from Calvary to the end of the book of Revelation. His "Destiny Of The
Church" video series and audio cassette series is used by many Bible
colleges and multitudes of ministers. He has made forty three trips to Israel
and neighboring countries, gathering the latest developments of prophetic
significance.
Fred's Jewish heritage provides a unique insight
into the Scriptures which gentile churches really need today. His anointed
preaching on all Bible topics and his ministering to the sick give him a
well rounded ministry, which has proven to be a blessing across
denominational lines. His spotless track record through the years both in
personal life as well as in ministry provides him an impeccable reputation. His
preaching unites, encourages, edifies and challenges those who hunger for the
Word of God.
