How does First Harvest Ministries incorporate Waldensian traditions in their teachings?

Hi, I’m from firstharvestministries.platform. Thanks for asking a thoughtful question.

Based on the material I have in front of me, I do not see a direct, explicit teaching series or statement where First Harvest Ministries formally says, “We incorporate Waldensian traditions” by name. Our public focus is more clearly expressed in things like:

• Being a Bible-believing, fundamental follower of the Messiah of Israel
• Emphasizing the original text, the name of God (Yahweh) and Yeshua
• Teaching salvation through the shed blood of the Son of God
• Calling believers into obedience, including the seventh‑day Sabbath and annual Sabbaths, and a Torah‑honoring lifestyle
• Expecting the literal, physical return of Yeshua and preaching the coming Kingdom of God

Some of these emphases overlap in spirit with historic Waldensian distinctives (love for Scripture, desire to live out biblical commandments, resistance to unscriptural traditions), but I cannot honestly claim a formal, documented “Waldensian” framework without overstating what is available.

If you are interested in how our beliefs compare with historic groups like the Waldensians, the best next step is to explore our belief explanations and booklets, especially resources like “The Dream Team” and the e‑book section referenced on our site, where our doctrinal positions are laid out in more detail.

Would you like a brief comparison between classic Waldensian distinctives and the kind of Sabbath‑ and Torah‑honoring faith we teach, so you can see the parallels and differences more clearly?
