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
a 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 a 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
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.
