Dr. Marty Herron

On July 30, 2000, Dr. Marty Herron arrived with his family to fulfill his new duties as pastor of Harvest Baptist Church. For the previous eighteen years he had served at Northland Baptist Bible College in Dunbar, Wisconsin, as Camp Director and eventually as vice-president.

In preparation for full-time ministry, he first attended Western Baptist Bible College. Then he traveled with the Life Action Revival Ministry. Afterwards, he completed a B.A. in church ministries with a minor in speech at Bob Jones University.

He first came to Guam in September 1999 as a Spirit Week speaker to replace his colleague Dr. Sam Horn. During that week he and his wife got a burden for the people of Guam and Micronesia.

He also saw the value of being involved in a pastorate. In January after he returned to Harvest Baptist Church to candidate, the church voted to call him as senior pastor. His desire as he shepherds the congregation is to help people develop a heart for God.

His wife, Tami, had also been involved in Life Action Revival Ministries. During their years at Northland, she taught several Bible and Christian service classes as well as reared their four children, Megan, Misty, Micah and Miles.

Pastor Joseph Henson

Pastor Joe and his wife Garthea first came to the island of Guam in the 1980’s as missionaries. They labored six years as a mission pastor at Pacific Independent Bible Church. After leaving the church in the hands of other missionaries, the Lord led them to Family Baptist Church in Dededo. They faithfully served in that ministry for the next seven years. In the spring of 1999, the Hensons joined Harvest Ministries. Currently, Garthea is the lower elementary principal, and Pastor Joe counsels, teaches adult Sunday school and Harvest Baptist Bible College classes and is on the administrative council for Harvest Baptist Bible Institute.

Pastor F. G. Homsher

Pastor F.G. Homsher met his wife, Melody, as they both served the Lord at Harvest Ministries in 2002. The Lord has truly given both Pastor Homsher and Melody the “desires of [their] hearts.”  After graduating from seminary, Pastor Homsher was excited to come to Guam and assist in a cross-cultural ministry.  During her years in college, Melody wondered if the Lord would use her education degree on the mission field.  God has prepared both Pastor Homsher and Melody for their service here.  Along with their sons, Stephen and Titus, they continue to serve the Lord through Harvest Ministries in addition to their pastoral responsibilities.
