I have discovered that the more we involve God in our lives, the more improvement will take place. God delivered me from a lifestyle of confusion, and lack of direction and purpose. God has given me the ministry of reconciliation [restoration] to use to restore the lost, the helpless, and the hopeless back to God. Rev. Dr. Albert J. Harris Jr.; born January 5th. 1947 in Bakersfield, Ca. He was the middle child of eleven children. He has five brothers and sisters that are older than he is, and five brothers and sisters that are younger than himself. Also, out of all the five boys, he was named after his father, Albert. Born to Albert and Virgie Mae Harris, and ten other brothers and sisters, he was never lonely. We were a Christian family, going to church every Sunday, was a way of life. I also learned, at an early age, that God loved me, and I learned to love him back. I do not remember my father going to church with the family, but my grandmother always went with us. But I do remember, my father teaching my brothers, and myself how to be responsible Young men. Responsible, in the sense that we would grow up and learn how to take care of our families. My mother was a spirit-filled holiness, woman of God, and my grandmother was the same. Beside God, they were my inspiration, and now my wife, who is my helpmate, is my every day inspiration. Moreover, God begin to talk to me for forty years, until I followed my wife into the "The First Morin Star M.B.C. ". I know now that God used my wife, to bring me to this church, because he had a purpose. It was less than two years, when God called me into the ministry. The rest is history, Gods inspiration quickly led me to "Bay Cities Bible Institute". And after that, God inspired me to "The Sacramental Theological Seminary". After these biblical studies, I graduated with a "Doctorate Degree" in Christian Education. In addition, I also earned a "Doctorate Degree" in Christian Counseling. Moreover, after thirty years of the school of hard knocks; God has given me a masters, in Christian living. I really believe now that I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me daily; So, let me say to someone, why don't you let God, help you to be the best that you can be, I believe in you, so why don't you believe in you.
