Ordained in 2007 Pastor Tyron Harris has been a pillar to the ministry since 1989 when he was first attending the camp on a partaker level. His devotion to the Lord has impacted countless lives as he leads by example and with a transparent life. He says that when he first met Pat, “I knew right away that I wanted to have my own gym and minister to kids, but I did not know where to go to school for that.” After a blazing basketball career at St Joseph High School where he led the Indians to State Final Four game his sophomore year, he went on to play college ball. Tyron attended Lake Michigan Junior College where he was an All American and East Village College in Dallas. During his time in Dallas, he heard the voice of the Lord reminding him of his initial dream to minister to kids and was obedient to the call of God on his life and came back to work in South Bend. He has been married for 10 years, and is raising up five amazing children in strength.

Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.
