The Harrells have served as Evangelists preaching Revivals and Camp Meetings in the United States and internationally in English and in Spanish. They served as Lead Pastors of Airport Assembly of God before embracing the call to be full-time Missionaries Honduras where they have served for over 17 years.

They are also the founders of the Children's Gift Ministry under which have grown several outreaches. The 'Back to Classes with Jesus program' reaches 30,000 children and 200 locations across the country each year getting children off of the streets, out of the reach of the gang, into school and connected with local churches. The tagline is 'changing a nation through salvation and education.' Through 'Equip Conferences for Children's Pastors' they have trained Childrens Pastors and leaders in 1400 churches throughout Honduras. Ken and Gricelda are invited to teach their 'Keeping the fire alive in your marriage Conference.'

​
What We Believe
​
Children's Gift Ministry operates under 16 core beliefs:
​
-
The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
-
There is only One True God-revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).
-
In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son Jesus was both human and divine.
-
Though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin-ushering in evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.
-
Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through ‘Salvation'(accepting Christ’s offer of forgiveness for sin).
-
We practice two ordinances-(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one’s sins and receiving Christ’s gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion(the Lord’s Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ’s suffering and death for our salvation.
-
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.
-
The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.
-
Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.
-
The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe ‘the Church’ is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God’s offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
-
A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, and to build up or edify the body of believers-the Church.
-
Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ’s atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins).
-
In The Blessed Hope-When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth(the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.
-
In The Millennial Reign of Christ-when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. At that time many in the nation of Israel will recognize and accept Him as the Messiah, the Savior who died for them and all mankind.
-
A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.
-
We believe and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. ‘And so shall we forever be with the Lord!’
