Story of Our Founder

Zachary and his wife Vivi have dedicated their lives to sharing God’s love across the globe. Originally from Taiwan, where Zachary served as both a dentist and pastor while Vivi taught high school, their hearts have always been drawn to mission work and serving communities in need.

Together, they have traveled to some of the world’s most challenging places, bringing hope and healing to Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Jordan’s Syrian refugee camps, and Iraq. Through these experiences, they witnessed firsthand how God’s love can transform lives and communities, regardless of circumstances.

Zachary spent his early childhood in New Zealand before returning to Taiwan, where he built his career and calling. In 2023, while visiting New Zealand with their two children, Zachary and Vivi were deeply moved by what they saw. The peaceful, beautiful country of Zachary’s childhood had changed—facing rising crime rates and the world’s highest youth suicide rates.

As Zachary reflected on his global ministry, a profound question stirred his heart: “I’ve served in many nations around the world, but what about the country where I grew up? This is my home too. Let me do something for it.” This prayer became the foundation of their calling to New Zealand.

In response to their heartfelt prayer, God began opening doors in remarkable ways. The family felt clearly led to return to New Zealand, leaving everything behind to start fresh. Despite beginning from zero, they experienced countless miracles and divine encounters that confirmed God’s direction for their lives.

Through a series of God-ordained meetings and supernatural provision, Harvest of Revival Ministry was born. What started as a burden for their adopted homeland has grown into a vision to see New Zealand restored as a nation blessed by God—a country that receives blessings from around the world and, in turn, becomes a blessing to the nations.

Today, Zachary and Vivi continue their calling in New Zealand, believing wholeheartedly that this nation will once again become a beacon of God’s blessing to the world. Their story is one of obedience, faith, and the beautiful way God uses ordinary people to accomplish His extraordinary purposes.
