With an ancestry on his father's side of 3
generations of ordained ministers, Apostle Paul
Harris is also known as The Preaching Cowboy, a
Native American Preacher takes his call to preach
and teach the gospel, in messages and music as a
generational mandate. Paul was born with
dislocated hips, which causes him to have to walk
with the aid of crutches, but it does not stop him
from doing the work of God. In 1972, at the age of
8, he told his grandfather, Rev. L. J. Harris,
pastor of the "Non-Denominational Christian
Tabernacle" of Danville Virginia that he was
called to preach. The following Sunday Paul
preached his first message at his grandfather's
church. There, he preached many services at the
church and also on the local radio station. During
these years Paul sang with his family in various
gospel singing groups such as, "The Gospel
Letters" and "The Old Time Gospel Singers"
In 1984, Paul was introduced to Minister Loretta
Barbour, of Danville Virginia who saw many gifts
and talents that she felt should be explored in
evangelistic circles. John and Betty Donavant, the
overseers, of "United Christian Fellowship", of
Danville Virginia ordained him and sent him to a
full gospel training center in Ashland Virginia,
"Calvary Pentecostal Church, "at that time was
under the direction of the late Wallace Heflin and
his mother Edith Heflin. in 1984, Ruth Ward
Heflin, Wallace's sister, gave a prophecy to Paul
that he would sing and preach the gospel all over
the world. What was so specific about the prophecy
is that she saw him teaching behind a desk. This
is fulfilled through the web ministry and internet
radio station that God has instilled into his
life.
Licensed and ordained by "United Christian
Fellowship" of Danville Virginia. in 1984, he,
planted a church in Danville "Church of Outreach
Ministries", where he co-pastored for 5 years
before being called to Knoxville, Tennessee, in
1989. There, Paul preached, and directed the
praise and worship musical teams at many local
churches, while continuing his studies with
"Calvary Pentecostal Church of Biblical Studies"
in Ashland Virginia. There he received his Masters
of Divinity in 1989, and an honoree doctorate in
1993. Paul serves as presiding elder of "United
Christian Fellowship" which has changed its name
to "The Grace Watcher Broadcasting
Network". Paul has written over 30 books on
spiritual and biblical topics, and plans to make
some musical recordings of his messages.
Understanding that he has been entrusted with a
unique vision for the preaching of the word of God
and the gospel, Paul has been entrusted with is
being taught and musically shown all over the
world through the world wide web and internet
radio. With a heart and call to see new life and
restoration happen for the Christians in our
world, Paul crosses denominational lines to
preach, teach and sing in various churches,
conferences and Christian schools across America.
He has a vision and a passion to prepare the next
generation of people who will walk in the power of
God, through preaching, soul winning and God's
full anointing, emphasizing truth, authenticity,
and integrity in both life and daily walk. Taking
Christ's very clear call to heart, "to preach the
gospel to everyone......."
Both, Paul and the life of his faith reflect that
purpose. Paul teaches with a very broad
perspective from biblical emphasis with
authenticity and wisdom , which challenges
legalism and breaks past religious obstacles that
hinder the Holy Spirit from moving among the
people. Moving beyond the confines of
denominational walls, and linking in the
marketplace and the community, it is his desire to
see the whole body of Christ free from the many
forms of bondage to religious control,
competition, and dis-unity in order to fulfill
God's ultimate call to "Go and preach the gospel,
and teaching them.............."
Paul is a worshiper at heart who longs to see the
people of God enter their fullness in relational
worship to the Father. Paul desires lead people
into the glory realms of Heaven, where intimate
encounters with God become easy. Paul cultivates
an the atmosphere in worship that releases the
body of Christ to worship freely and expressively
before His throne. He has the heart to see Christ
be the center of our worship, not a worship
leader, or a worship band. His willingness to let
God move in various ways whether, through singing,
the musicians, or the Word makes his style unique.
Paul longs for God to show up in every service
regardless of the method He chooses to manifest
Himself. Paul has been involved in preaching,
teaching and leading worship for more than 30
years in many churches. These many years of
worship experience has given Paul the chance to
see many changes in worship styles and genres and
he is excited to now see the Church enter into new
realms of revelatory, prophetic worship. Paul
relationship with Jesus has caused a longing in
hiss's heart to see worship develop into a
lifestyle and not the moment in time experience.
