God has richly blessed Harvest through television and the preaching ministry of our Pastor. The vision is now being brought forth on 38 acres of the fastest growing area of the city of Anniston on a main artery into the city. Currently, we are in the process of building a multi-million dollar 2,500 seat auditorium on the property in addition to the current facilities. God has brought Harvest a long way from a small congregation to a congregation of over a thousand. We give God all the glory!
How I came to Christ:
As a teenage boy I accepted Jesus when I felt a vacancy in my heart that would not be satisfied in any other way. Baseball was a major part of my life and I was considering pursuing it for a career when I realized I could not resist the call to preach. I put my bat down and picked up the Bible!
Things the Lord is teaching me:
Patience, understanding and wisdom!
Interests/Hobbies:
Fishing and golfing. Golfing and fishing… not necessarily in that order! |
