Pastor Randy and Kim Zebell
Pastor Randy was born and raised in Illinois in the town of Peoria, where he attended school through college (Bradley University), then went on to work in industry as a service engineer, instructor and finally, as a writer. It was while he was a writer that he felt the call of God on his life, as God began preparing him for going into full-time ministry. He had already been involved in Children's Ministry and technical areas of church ministry for many years but it would be another ten (years) before the "door" would open for him to become a full-time servant (minister) here at World Harvest Community Church.
Since June of 2003, Pastor Randy has been in charge of World Harvest's office administration and has been responsible for overseeing the operations of the Children's, Audio, and Video Ministries.
Pastor Randy and his wife would like to welcome you to World Harvest Community Church if you are new. Thank you for taking the time to visit our website!
