Dr. Darrel King .... is married to Jan King and continues to work for the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. He is serving presently as Missions Educator with the Baptist Men on Mission, which includes 25 different ministries. The purpose for Missions Education is to encourage believers to take missions outside of the church and reach the lost in our neighborhoods, communities, and around the world. He is also the Director of E. M. Bounds School of Prayer. Mrs. DeeAnn Harmon .... is married to Al Harmon (26 years) and the mother of three daughters: Victoria (20), Caroline (17) and Alisa (6). She attends Harvest Point Methodist in Stockbridge, Georgia. Saved by God's grace at 6 years old, and called into Deaf ministry work at 17 years old, she is actively involved in Deaf ministry at home and around the world. She has been a teacher of the Deaf in South Carolina (3 years) and in Georgia (23 years). Deaf Harvest International, Inc. began in 1997 after she revised the "Lord, Teach Us to Pray" Bible study materials for the Deaf. In 1999, she returned home from two mission trips to Jamaica. God revived a desire in her heart to network with ministries and pray for Deaf Missionaries all over the world. She believes it is necessary for all Christian denominations to network together to reach the global Deaf Harvest for our Lord. DeeAnn completed the "Prayer Walking" Bible Study in May, 2001 after God used the Prayer of Jabez to "expand her territory". (See 1 Chronicles 4:9-10) DeeAnn is currently working as a teacher of Deaf/ Hard-of-Hearing students in Henry County schools, Free-lance interpreter, a speaker for Deaf ministry workshops, and Youth for Christ Deaf Teen Quest Director for the Atlanta region.

She gives God the glory and honor for all He has accomplished through her and this ministry. DeeAnn with husband Al and daughters Victoria, Caroline, and Alissa.
